Paramount’s CEO Snubs Meghan and Harry’s Request for Private Jet Ride Back to LA
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry found themselves in an uncomfortable situation during a recent film premiere screening in Jamaica.
The couple, residing in Montecito, attended the premiere of “Bob Marley Won Love” at the Carib Five Theatre in St. Andrew.
However, a newly surfaced video has left fans speculating about the royal pair's apparent dissatisfaction with their seating arrangements at the event.
In the video, security personnel can be seen escorting Meghan and Harry to their seats while other guests were already comfortably settled.
Contrary to the norm of VIP guests occupying front-row seats at such events, the Duke and Duchess were placed further back in the midst of the crowd.
Harry appeared contemplative, scratching his beard, while Meghan engaged in conversation with one of her staff members.
Another clip captured Meghan leaning towards Harry before he abruptly stood up from his seat and walked back up the aisle.
As Harry departed, Meghan exchanged a gentle smile with a nearby guest.
A photo from the premiere showed Meghan gesturing towards someone as Harry gazed down the row with a solemn expression.
According to a spokesperson for the Sussexes, Meghan and Harry traveled to Jamaica as guests of Paramount Pictures, who were distributing the film.
They shared a private jet with executives and stayed at the same hotel.
Their appearance on the red carpet alongside Jamaican politicians, amid discussions of removing the king as the island's head of state, garnered significant global attention, potentially pleasing Paramount and raising hopes for a lucrative deal.
However, the Paramount CEO refuted claims of inviting Meghan and Harry, asserting that they did not reserve space for the couple on the private jet or treat them as VIPs at the event.
Allegations surfaced that the couple purchased movie tickets to the screening, masquerading it as a premiere.
Amid financial struggles at Paramount, rumors of restructuring or selling parts of the company circulated.
Insiders revealed that the CEO declined Meghan's request for a private jet ride to and from Jamaica due to financial constraints and lack of acquaintance with the couple.
The absence of VIP treatment for Harry and Meghan at the event raised suspicions of a strategic move to secure their Netflix deal by enticing Paramount Pictures.
Criticism mounted against Harry and Meghan for utilizing a private jet, possibly belonging to Tyler Perry, for a 6,000-mile round trip to attend the film premiere, contradicting Harry's advocacy for sustainable travel.
As the premiere celebrated a film by Paramount Pictures, speculations arose about the Sussexes' efforts to attract Paramount amidst uncertainties surrounding their Netflix partnership.
