She allegedly informed the organizers that she did not want the Sussexes to sit near her, the film's cast, or crew, instructing them to find another seat. Rita was furious, feeling that Harry and Meghan's uninvited attendance was an attempt to steal the spotlight from her husband's legacy and the film's message of love and unity. A source revealed that Harry and Meghan, longtime fans of Bob Marley's music, were invited by the Robbins family, with whom they share a personal friendship. However, they failed to inform Rita Marley or the film's producers of their attendance, arriving at the last minute and causing a stir.
Despite thinking they were doing a favor by supporting the film, the Sussexes' lack of coordination and failure to seek permission upset Rita and the Marley family. The source added that the uncomfortable and unhappy-looking couple, seated at the back of the theater, did not stay for the entire screening, leaving shortly after the intermission. They did not interact with Rita Marley or any of the film stars.
The incident triggered a backlash against Harry and Meghan on social media, with users accusing them of being rude, arrogant, and attention-seeking. Many highlighted the irony of their behavior, considering their repeated claims to value privacy and respect for others. The couple, currently enjoying a lavish trip to Jamaica, has not commented on the incident or apologized to Rita Marley or the film's team. As they face impending scrutiny and criticism upon their return to the US, their actions in Jamaica continue to draw negative attention.
