Embarrassing Setback for Sussexes at Bob Marley Premiere in Jamaica

The attempt by the Sussexes to boost their image and popularity hit a snag during the premiere of Bob Marley's One Love in Jamaica.

At the after-party hosted at Kingston's Pegasus Hotel, they encountered an awkward moment when Damian Marley, son of the legendary Bob Marley, snubbed them and questioned their identity.

Despite being invited to the Caribbean by Paramount Pictures CEO Brian Robbins, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle faced humiliation as Damian Marley declined to take a photo with them.

Reports circulating on a celebrity website suggested that Harry and Meghan, who are fans of Damian Marley's music and his father's legacy, approached him during the after-party in a bid to impress the media and critics who had questioned their presence at the event.

However, their efforts were met with a cold rejection from Damian Marley, who is also one of the executive producers of the biopic.

Despite trying to explain their attendance and show admiration for the Marley family, the couple was met with sarcasm and indifference.

The incident visibly upset Harry and Meghan, leading them to leave the after-party without the sought-after photo with Damian Marley or any other film stars.

A source close to the royal family, speaking to the Times of London, described the photo call with Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness as less than ideal.

Criticism also arose regarding the timing of their visit as guests of Paramount Pictures for the Bob Marley biopic premiere, with sources suggesting that their presence was not well received back in London.

Speculation mounted as to whether Prince Harry may have been unaware of the political and familial implications of being photographed with the Jamaican Prime Minister.

Expecting to be the guests of honor, Harry and Meghan found themselves seated among less distinguished guests, as captured by a local blogger from Kingston.

Public relations expert Lynne Carrott remarked on the awkward seating arrangement, suggesting that Meghan appeared displeased with their placement in row 8, considering her glamorous attire by Carolina Herrera.

Social media buzzed with analyses of Prince Harry and Meghan's body language during the event, with some viewers noting Prince Harry's perceived discomfort, such as nervously touching his beard.

The couple's attire, notably Meghan's elegant dress, drew attention, with speculations that she might have anticipated more camera time.

Netizens commented on Meghan's alleged reaction to the seating arrangement, describing it as a sulky flump and suggesting she seemed dissatisfied with the seating arrangements.

Opinions varied among online commentators, with some expressing sympathy for the couple's perceived embarrassment, while others speculated that Harry and Meghan may have gate-crashed the event.

Questions arose about the seating hierarchy, with suggestions that as guests of the Paramount CEO, they should have occupied a more prominent place among VIPs.

The incident left a lingering impression of discomfort and unease surrounding the Sussexes' presence at the Bob Marley premiere in Jamaica.
