Amidst Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s diminishing influence in Hollywood, actor Ryan Reynolds found himself on the receiving end of a playful jab from King Charles.
The royal couple’s once-promising foothold in the entertainment industry appears to be waning, particularly after being overlooked in the Emmy nominations, signaling a decline in their status.
Speculation suggests that the disapproval of senior royals may be a contributing factor to their fading popularity.
According to insights shared with Heat magazine, there is a reluctance among prominent figures in the celebrity and entertainment spheres to align themselves with Meghan and Harry, for fear of jeopardizing their relationships with the British monarchy, particularly King Charles and the Waleses.
Industry insiders have reportedly begun favoring collaborations with the royal family over the Sussexes, recognizing the shifting dynamics within the industry.
In a surprising turn of events, King Charles left Ryan Reynolds, co-owner of Wrexham AFC, stunned with an unexpected phone call.
Reynolds, along with Rob McElhenney, acquired the football club in 2021 to the delight of supporters.
The monarch’s gesture came following the success of their Disney Plus series, “Welcome to Wrexham,” prompting a visit to the iconic racecourse ground that holds significance in the city’s heritage.
Reflecting on the momentous encounter, Ryan Reynolds expressed his excitement at welcoming the King to the historic venue, emphasizing its cultural significance to the community.
The actors graciously hosted King Charles and Queen Camilla at the football ground, engaging in light-hearted banter and exchanging pleasantries.
During the visit, Reynolds and McElhenney humorously admitted their lack of familiarity with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Netflix documentary, highlighting their Canadian and American backgrounds.
In preparation for the royal visit, Reynolds humorously mentioned undertaking etiquette lessons, underscoring their commitment to uplifting the local community and the football club.
The significance of King Charles’ visit was not lost on the actors, with Reynolds expressing profound enthusiasm for the opportunity to meet the Welsh monarch and further strengthen ties with the community.
Meanwhile, King Charles acknowledged Wrexham as one of the eight communities bestowed with city status in honor of Queen Elizabeth’s platinum jubilee earlier this year.
In a poignant speech delivered at St Giles’ Church, the royal reflected on his mother’s enduring affection for Wales, emphasizing the city’s rich history and the importance of commemorating such milestones in esteemed settings like the church, a revered landmark in Welsh heritage.
