Two Lion King stars have refuted claims of having spoken to Meghan Markle during the 2019 London premiere of the live-action film.

Actor John Carney, who stated he was the sole South African cast member, denied ever meeting Meghan Markle, despite there being no other South African actors in the film.

While there were other African nationals involved in the movie who may have attended the premiere, South African singer Lindiwe Mkizi, who performed “Circle of Life” in the remake, was also present.

However, an insider close to Mkizi and the actress-singer revealed that she did not engage in conversation with Meghan on that night.

The insider emphasized, “I’ve known her for over a decade.

I was there with her that night.

She didn’t speak to Meghan.”

Meghan Markle faced backlash from readers after claiming she had been compared to Nelson Mandela and making further remarks about royal life.

The comparison drew criticism from Twitter users, with one stating, “Meghan Markle, whose biggest ambition in life was to marry rich and marry up, believes that marrying Prince Harry generated the same excitement and hysteria as when Nelson Mandela was released from prison after spending 27 years fighting apartheid.”

Another user expressed their frustration, asking why Harry couldn’t stop her and describing her comparison to Mandela as “beyond ludicrous.”

Over two years have passed since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced their decision to step back from their senior royal roles.

During this time, the Duchess of Sussex has frequently criticized her previous royal position.

She condemned the traditional royal rota, a press pool that has covered the British royal family for over four decades.

In an interview, Meghan expressed her frustration at being expected to provide photos of Archie and Lilibet, while other members of the royal family, such as Kate and William, adhered to the rule.

However, her comments received pushback from many individuals.

One Twitter user questioned why she joined the royal family if she was aware of the strict protocols, accusing her of making money by criticizing her husband’s family.

Meghan Markle recently appeared on the cover of The Cut, sporting a black polo neck and a scraped-back hairstyle while looking directly into the camera.

This image has drawn comparisons to a photograph of Princess Diana, with both women dressed similarly and gazing into the lens.

Sarah Vine, writing in the Mail, noted the contrast in their expressions, describing Diana’s smile as slightly shy but warm, while Meghan’s half-open mouth appeared more like a smirk, and her eyes lacked warmth.

Vine went on to criticize the revelations shared in The Cut interview as narcissistic drivel.

Robert Jobson, author of “William at Forty: The Making of a Modern Monarch,” expressed his opinion, stating, “She’s worse than a fantasist.

I’m beginning to think she actually believes her own Meghan truths.

It’s almost pathological.”

He further lamented that some people would believe such unfounded claims.

In conclusion, despite claims made by Lion King stars, John Carney and Lindiwe Mkizi, denying any interaction with Meghan Markle at the 2019 London premiere, controversies surrounding the Duchess of Sussex continue to arise.

Her comparisons to Nelson Mandela and criticisms of royal life have sparked public backlash and drawn sharp criticism on social media platforms.

Moreover, her recent appearance on the cover of The Cut has led to comparisons with Princess Diana, with differing opinions on Meghan’s demeanor in the photograph.

As the ongoing saga unfolds, the Duchess’s remarks and actions continue to divide public opinion.
