Robbins allegedly refused to extend an invitation to Harry and Meghan, expressing discontent with their controversial Netflix deal, which he perceived as direct competition and a threat to his business. Offended by the couple's decision to step back from their royal duties and relocate to the US, where they pursued lucrative media deals, Robbins, a close friend and business partner of Tom Cruise, reportedly instructed his security team to escort them off the red carpet and prevent their entry to the theater.
At the event, Robbins advised staff and guests to ignore the couple, not posing for photos or engaging in conversation with them. Unaware of Robbins' animosity, Harry and Meghan were shocked and embarrassed, attempting to maintain a casual and friendly demeanor. However, they were met with silence and indifference from other celebrities and dignitaries present. Some Jamaican attendees even booed and heckled them, accusing the couple of disrespecting Jamaican culture and Bob Marley's legacy.
Facing backlash from the British public and the royal family for their decision to leave royal duties, Harry and Meghan were devastated and humiliated by the incident. They blamed themselves for not conducting thorough research and preparation before attending the premiere, unaware of the political and social dynamics of Jamaican society. Questions arose about the impact of leaving the royal family on their credibility and respect on a global scale.
The red carpet incident sparked a heated debate on social media, with some expressing sympathy and support for the couple, praising their courage and resilience. Others criticized Harry and Meghan for recklessness and ignorance, asserting they deserved to be escorted out. Accusations of insensitivity and disrespect towards Jamaican culture were leveled, with claims that they snubbed the king, who is Harry's father, by attending the premiere with the anti-royal Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness.
As of now, Harry and Meghan have not commented on the red carpet incident and have maintained silence on social media since the premiere. They are expected to return to their California home after spending a few days in Jamaica. The movie "Bob Marley One Love" stars Kingsley Ben-Adir as the legendary singer and Lashana Lynch as his wife Rita, scheduled for release on February 14th, 20XX.
