Sundance Film Festival Shuns Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

and have once again sparked controversy, this time finding themselves unceremoniously ousted from the prestigious Sundance Film Festival in Utah.

The Hollywood elite, already critical of the couple for their consistent criticisms of the royal family, were further outraged when the pair, uninvited, tried to make an appearance at the renowned festival.

Despite facing widespread rejection from celebrities, the duo attempted to crash the event known for showcasing innovative works from global filmmakers under the guidance of founder Robert Redford.

The Sundance Film Festival upholds a strict invitation-only policy, ensuring the presence of the most influential and respected figures in the independent film industry.

Undeterred by the exclusivity, Meghan and Harry, keen on making a mark in Hollywood, disregarded protocol and showed up uninvited, aiming to network with industry insiders and promote their projects.

Their private jet landed at the Eccles Theater, where they sought entry to the screening of The Lost Daughter, starring Olivia Colman and Dakota Johnson.

Their bold scheme quickly fell apart as security intercepted them, revealing their absence from the guest list.

Despite attempting to capitalize on their royal status and charm, their efforts proved fruitless, leading to their immediate removal for causing a disruption.

Witnesses recounted the couple's humiliation and frustration as security escorted them out, while attendees expressed their disapproval through boos and taunts.

Celebrities present at the event, shocked by Meghan and Harry's actions, sided with the festival organizers.

Notably, Robert Redford himself voiced his astonishment and disapproval.

Redford stated that the couple demonstrated a lack of regard for the festival's regulations and principles, asserting that they did not belong in the independent film community.

He expressed optimism that Meghan and Harry would learn from their blunder and abstain from future endeavors to attend the festival.

This incident at the Sundance Film Festival contributes to a string of scandals and disputes surrounding the couple since their relocation to the United States.

Criticized for double standards, privacy issues, political involvement, legal battles against the media, and contentious interviews, Meghan and Harry have encountered rejection from former acquaintances and relatives within the royal family.

Their diminishing popularity in the U.S., evident in recent surveys, underscores the couple's estrangement from both the royal family and the American populace.
