The recent trip of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to Jamaica has stirred up quite a bit of discussion in Britain.

Their stay at the luxurious Half Moon resort in Montego Bay, where rooms can cost upwards of £3,400 a night, has drawn criticism, particularly given the couple’s efforts to promote a more sustainable lifestyle.

The Sussexes were in Jamaica to attend the premiere of the Bob Marley biopic, “Bob Marley: One Love,” where they made a surprise appearance.

Their travel was arranged by Paramount Pictures, which has ties to the couple through CEO Brian Robbins, a friend of theirs.

After the premiere, they attended an exclusive afterparty at the Terra Nova hotel, mingling with other guests in what appears to be a glamorous celebration.

This opulent trip contrasts sharply with their public statements about social issues, leading to debates about the royal couple’s choices and lifestyle.
