Ellie Goulding Throws Shade at Harry and Meghan in Wake of Netflix Trailer Release
Singer Ellie Goulding has taken a swipe at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle following the release of their Netflix trailer, firmly aligning herself with Team Wales.
The Princess of Wales, Catherine, and Prince William had a heartwarming reunion with Goulding at the Earthshot Prize Awards, where she performed her rendition of Elton John's “Your Song,” a song that she also played at the couple's wedding reception in 2011.
After the show, the Waleses were seen engaging in animated conversations with Goulding backstage.
Expressing her thoughts on Twitter, Ellie emphasized the importance of paying attention to individuals like the royal couple, who showcase existing solutions for a better future.
She expressed gratitude to the Earthshot Prize for highlighting their remarkable skills and ingenuity.
In a direct jab at Meghan, she criticized the Duchess for allowing jealousy to cloud her judgment.
Ellie pointed out that Meghan's decision to take a private jet for a domestic flight the day before the Earthshot Prize event, coupled with the release of a provocatively malicious documentary teaser on the same day, undermined environmentalism and made her look foolish.
Although Ellie Goulding's alleged romantic involvement with Prince Harry was never publicly confirmed by either party, rumors circulated after they were spotted together at a polo match in 2016.
Their friendship initially blossomed after Ellie performed at Prince William's wedding in 2011.
In an interview with Australian show The Project, Ellie was asked about the rumors, to which she playfully responded that she was not having a baby anytime soon, dismissing any speculation about a pregnancy.
The presenter jokingly probed further, asking if she was not having a baby with Prince Harry either, causing Ellie to blush and playfully dodge the question.
The controversy surrounding Harry and Meghan escalated when they released a Netflix trailer on the eve of Prince William's Earthshot Prize ceremony.
Climate experts from Netflix have since voiced their dissatisfaction with the streaming giant for airing the trailer at such a crucial time.
The Earthshot Prize awards one million pounds to projects aimed at tackling environmental issues, and the timing of the trailer's release has been viewed by some as a deliberate provocation.
Hannah Jones, the chief executive of the Earthshot Prize, described the ceremony as the “Prince of Wales' World Cup moment.”
Members of Netflix's scientific advisory group, including former UN climate chief Cristina Figueres and former UN political strategist Tom Rivett-Karnak, expressed disappointment and frustration with the streaming service for diverting attention away from the remarkable finalists and winners of the Earthshot Prize.
Figueres, who played a pivotal role in the Paris Climate Agreement, praised Netflix for producing valuable content to educate on environmental issues but criticized the negative messages aired on the same day as the Earthshot Prize.
In conclusion, Ellie Goulding's public support for Prince William and Catherine, coupled with her criticism of Harry and Meghan, has ignited further controversy surrounding the royal couple.
The timing of the Netflix trailer release has drawn backlash from climate experts, who argue that it detracted attention from the important work being recognized at the Earthshot Prize.
