Despite having stepped down from royal duties four years ago, Megan and Harry stood alongside Jamaica's Prime Minister, Andrew Holness, and his wife Juliet at the premiere. The intentional arrangement of posing with Holness seems to be a strategic move aimed at exacting revenge on the royal family. Holness has expressed that Jamaica is progressing beyond its ties with the British Monarchy. Notably, Harry's father, King Charles, currently serves as the Head of State in Jamaica, and the process to sever connections with the British Monarchy is in progress, following the footsteps of another former Caribbean possession, Barbados.
Prince Harry, too, renounced his HRH titles and made a sensational departure from being a working royal back in 2020. Holness announced the intent to remove Queen Elizabeth II as the head of state during the visit of William and Catherine. This move by the Sussexes appears to be a calculated effort to provoke.
In 2020, The Prince and Princess of Wales embarked on a Caribbean tour to mark Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee, receiving a positive reception at multiple stops. However, protests in Jamaica by small groups highlighted dissatisfaction with the monarchy. Holness campaigned on the promise to push forward a referendum to make Jamaica a republic by 2025, indicating the country's desire to sever ties with Britain after the queen's passing.
Holness stated that the Wales are always welcome, and this announcement was seized upon by anti-royalists and supporters of Meghan and Harry to cast a negative light on the dutiful William and Catherine. They fueled claims of discriminatory behavior by the royal family and misrepresented facts about Britain's role in ending the Atlantic slave trade.
Meghan and Harry's attempt to launch their "Ignorant Empire 2.0" through the Netflix documentary series, where they distorted Queen Elizabeth's historic 1947 speech, drew criticism. Despite residing in non-commonwealth countries like the US and Jamaica, the couple continues to monetize their British royal titles. Their insistence on naming their child after Queen Elizabeth II and expecting taxpayers to fund their lifestyle raises questions about their commitment to social justice causes.
In summary, Meghan and Harry's actions, including their refusal to live within their means and their lifestyle choices, underscore a disconnect between their proclaimed socially conscious values and their actual behavior.
