The couple faced criticism for posing with Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness, a vocal advocate for Jamaica becoming a republic and severing ties with King Charles as the head of state. Higgins, a hired friend, justified their attendance, stating that Brian Robbins personally invited them to emphasize their friendship with the Robbins family in Los Angeles. According to a source close to WME staff, Meghan exerted pressure on CEO Ari Emanuel to secure tickets.
Notably, there are no photos of Harry, Meghan, and Ziggy Marley, Bob Marley's eldest son, despite the supposed importance of the Sussexes' presence. It was revealed that Ziggy Marley's wife, a former WME executive, played a key role in organizing the outing. While Marley is currently an executive producer on the series, having left WME in 2006 to manage Ziggy's professional career, sources claim that WME leveraged Marley's connections to secure tickets for Meghan and Harry.
If WME orchestrated the screening for the Sussexes, it seems to have backfired, as smartphone videos and pictures revealed they were not sitting in VIP seats, raising questions about WME's role in the entire incident. Brad Pitt's involvement in the production led to speculation that Meghan and Harry wanted to take pictures with him, but the lack of photo opportunities suggests the outing may not have gone as planned.
Attending the movie premiere appears to have complicated their relationship with the British royal family further, contrary to any attempt at reconciliation suggested by their presence at the event. Recent information from experts theorizes an alternative future where Meghan Markle and Prince Harry stayed with the company due to their potential.
Robert Hardman recently weighed in on claims that Prince Harry and Meghan are easily offended and prickly, referencing their past antics such as books, TV interviews, and the Netflix drama. He reflected on their frustration when things don't go their way and rumors that they perceive everything as a calculated campaign against them. Hardman sees their narrative as somewhat self-centered, expressing sadness about their potential being overshadowed by their grievances as royals.
