The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have made a surprise red carpet appearance in Jamaica for the premiere of a new Bob Marley biopic, joining the nation’s republican prime minister Andrew Holness at the event. Harry and Meghan held hands as they made their first joint appearance in two months, at the Carib Theatre in Kingston on Tuesday night.

Harry and Meghan’s appearance comes as Harry’s father King Charles is due to undergo a corrective procedure for an enlarged prostate, while the Princess of Wales recovers from abdominal surgery. The couple have reportedly contacted both Charles and Kate “in different ways” to express concern and send best wishes.

Mr Holness announced plans for the island to become a republic in 2022, but said last year that royal visitors would still be welcome.

In March 2022, Holness called for the removal of the late Queen as head of state during an official visit by the then Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, adding that Jamaica was ready to “move on” and cut ties with the British monarchy.

“Jamaica is, as you would see, a country that is very proud of our history and very proud of what we have achieved. We are moving on and we intend to attain in short order … our goals and fulfil our true ambitions as an independent, developed, prosperous country,” he said at the time.

The last time the Sussexes visited Jamaica together was in 2017, when they attended the wedding of Harry’s friend Tom “Skippy” Inskip to Lara Hughes-Young.

The new Bob Marley biopic, Bob Marley: One Love, which is being released in February, celebrates the life and music of the reggae legend. Peaky Blinders actor Kingsley Ben-Adir plays the music icon, with James Bond star Lashana Lynch starring as his wife Rita.
