Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have once again found themselves in the midst of controversy, this time being unceremoniously removed from the prestigious Sundance Film Festival in Utah.
The Hollywood elite, already critical of the couple for their repeated attacks on the royal family, were further incensed when the duo attempted to make an appearance at the renowned festival without an invitation.
Despite facing widespread shunning from celebrities, the couple sought to crash the event, which is known for showcasing cutting-edge works from global filmmakers under the guidance of founder Robert Redford.
The Sundance Film Festival maintains a strict invitation-only policy, ensuring that only the most influential and respected figures in the independent film industry attend.
Undeterred by this, Meghan and Harry, eager to establish themselves in Hollywood, disregarded protocol and arrived uninvited, hoping to network with industry insiders and promote their projects.
Their private jet touched down at the Eccles Theater, where they tried to enter the screening of The Lost Daughter, featuring Olivia Colman and Dakota Johnson.
However, their audacious plan quickly unraveled as security stopped them, revealing that they were not on the guest list.
Despite attempting to leverage their royal status and charm, Meghan and Harry’s efforts proved futile, resulting in their immediate ejection for causing a disturbance.
Eyewitnesses reported the couple’s embarrassment and anger as security escorted them out, with attendees expressing their discontent through boos and jeers.
Celebrities present at the scene were appalled by Meghan and Harry’s behavior and sided with the festival organizers.
Notably, founder Robert Redford himself spoke out, expressing shock and disappointment.
Redford asserted that the couple displayed a lack of respect for the festival’s rules and values, concluding that they had no place in the independent film community.
He expressed hope that Meghan and Harry would learn from their mistake and refrain from future attempts to attend the festival.
This incident at the Sundance Film Festival adds to a series of scandals and controversies surrounding the couple since their move to the U.S.
Criticized for hypocrisy, privacy concerns, political activism, legal actions against the media, and explosive interviews, Meghan and Harry have faced rejection from former friends and colleagues in the royal family.
