The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made their first public appearance together since the announcement of Princess Kate and King Charles III's medical procedures. However, their loved-up display at the event has been perceived by some as a signal that they are distancing themselves from the ongoing health issues within the royal family.
Despite Princess Kate's abdominal surgery and King Charles' enlarged prostate condition, Meghan and Harry have not publicly expressed their concerns. The couple's carefree outing suggests that they may be prioritizing their own lives and well-being over the familial stress.

The Sussexes' decision to pose next to the anti-royal Jamaican Prime Minister, who reportedly wishes to eliminate the monarchy, has added to the controversy. Some royal fans and well-wishers have expressed disappointment and canceled celebrations in solidarity with the health struggles of the royal family.
Meghan and Harry attended the premiere of "Bob Marley: One Love," paying tribute to the legendary figure in Jamaican music. The outing not only diverted attention from the royal health crisis but also dispelled rumors of a rift between the couple, as they walked the red carpet hand-in-hand.
Despite the backlash, the visit to Jamaica is noted as a return trip for Prince Harry and Meghan, who enjoyed a trip to Montego Bay before their engagement in 2017. The couple's actions continue to attract scrutiny and criticism as they navigate their public roles and personal lives.
