**Meghan Markle’s Claims and Controversies: Lion King Stars Deny Interaction at London Premiere**

Two stars from the Lion King movie have refuted claims of engaging with Meghan Markle during the 2019 London premiere of the live-action film.

Actor John Carney, asserting himself as the sole South African cast member, stated that he had never crossed paths with Meghan Markle, despite the absence of any other South African actors in the production.

While there were other African nationals involved in the movie who might have been present at the premiere, South African singer Lindiwe Mkizi, known for her rendition of Circle of Life in the 2019 remake, was also in attendance.

However, an insider close to the actress and singer disclosed that she did not have any interaction with Meghan on that particular night.

Expressing discontent, readers criticized the 41-year-old former Suits star for likening herself to Nelson Mandela and making disparaging remarks about royal life.

One Twitter user rebuked Meghan Markle for equating the excitement generated by her marriage to Prince Harry with Mandela's release from prison after 27 years of incarceration for fighting apartheid.

Another commenter urged Kensington Royal to silence Meghan, condemning her behavior as toxic and damaging to the country and the monarchy.

The comparison to Mandela was deemed preposterous and her actions labeled as narcissistic and harmful.

Over two years have elapsed since Meghan and Prince Harry announced their decision to step back from their senior royal duties.

During this period, the Duchess of Sussex has openly criticized her former royal role on multiple occasions.

She has voiced disapproval of the traditional royal rota, a media pool established over four decades ago to cover the British royal family.

Meghan expressed frustration at being expected to provide photos of her children, Archie and Lilibet, while pointing out that other members of the royal family, such as Kate and William, comply with this protocol.

Her comments sparked backlash from various quarters, with individuals urging her to retreat to the private life she desired.

In a striking image on the cover of The Cut, Meghan is portrayed gazing directly at the camera, clad in a black polo neck with her hair slicked back.

Observers drew parallels between this photograph and an iconic image of Diana, Princess of Wales, where Harry's mother is seen in a similar outfit, exuding warmth and charm.

Sarah Vine, in an article for the Mail, contrasted Diana's endearing smile with Meghan's seemingly aloof expression, describing the latter's eyes as cold despite their warm brown hue.

Criticism of Meghan's recent interview continued, with Robert Jobson, author of William at Forty, dismissing her statements as self-centered ramblings.

As controversies surrounding Meghan Markle persist, public opinion remains divided on her actions and statements.

The ongoing saga involving the former actress and her interactions with the royal family continues to captivate audiences worldwide, with each new development sparking fresh debates and discussions.
