Harry and Meghan in Jamaica are soft-power dynamite. Britain is left with kryptonite William and Kate
Nels Abbey
At times like these, it’s clear that the Sussexes represent a missed opportunity for a UK that needs friends in the world
Fri 26 Jan 2024 11.25 CET

A popular Nigerian adage says “the cow never knows the value of its tail until it is chopped off”. In many tragic ways, this speaks to today’s Britain. From EU membership, to competent leadership, to low inflation, it seems necessary for Britain to lose things to appreciate their importance.
This week, look at Prince Harry and Meghan being feted in Jamaica. See the soft-power skills they carry with them, and think about that Nigerian adage.
In much of the British media, Harry and Meghan are all-year panto villains. But around the world, they could not be more loved – often for the very reasons they are despised in the British media. They are the soft power we could have enjoyed with the increasingly dominant, increasingly self-confident non-white world, especially the Commonwealth.
It’s not just that they are royals. Prince William and Kate headed to “no problem” Jamaica in 2022, and encountered problems aplenty. As their PR fiasco unfolded, they were derided for shaking hands with Jamaican children through wire fences, and for motoring viceroy-style through crowded streets in a fancy Land Rover. At the nightmare’s end, Jamaica basically handed Britain its P45, informing the royals of its intention to be a republic, to “move on”.

Still, Harry has something the royals he left behind and the likes of Chillax Cameron can never have. He has familiarity, an ease with difference – and he has Meghan.
In 2012, he also had the love of the UK press and public. He was praised for his warm embrace of the then Jamaican PM, Portia Simpson-Miller, and was photographed larking about with Usain Bolt. “He has shown himself to be a natural ambassador, a diplomat in a very real sense – one hug from him has (at least partly) dissipated the bad feeling of generations … It is inconceivable that any other royal could have pulled this off quite so effectively,” gushed the Mail on Sunday.
‘God Save the King’ doesn’t fall from Jamaican lips so easily. Soon we’ll be a republic

But that was then, before the British media’s own version of Orwell’s “two minutes hate” became a thing. Now, much of the press sees Harry and Meghan glad-handing and being glad-handed in Jamaica, surfing the love at the premiere of the Bob Marley biopic, and they don’t much like it. “Meghan and Harry pose next to anti-royal Jamaican prime minister who wants to ditch the monarchy and warned Wills and Kate they’ll never be king and queen of his nation – as Charles undergoes prostate surgery and the Princess of Wales recovers in hospital,” thundered the Mail. “The hubris of Harry and Meghan’s Jamaican photoshoot,” snorted the Spectator. “Crown fools: ‘Provocative’ Harry & Meghan spark royal row as they meet Jamaican politicians plotting to oust Charles as head of state,” jeered the Sun.
Britain understood Harry’s value and soft power in 2012, so what changed? Answer: Harry fell in love with, and married, a Black woman. That could have been a boon for this country, here and abroad; instead it’s a might-have-been. And what might have been to our reputational benefit is what has been happening in Jamaica.
The UK headlines and sour grapes tell you one thing: we messed up and we know it. Meghan was, and remains, soft-power dynamite, and all we have now is the soft-power kryptonite of Wills and Kate and the Windsor “firm” that spurned her. Still, that’s us: we never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

Bob Marley: One Love (2024)
This is a Movie Health Community evaluation. It is intended to inform people of potential health hazards in movies and does not reflect the quality of the film itself. The information presented here has not been reviewed by any medical professionals.
Bob Marley: One Love has several scenes with bright cameras flashing from all directions. It is difficult to predict when these scenes are about to happen, but one of them is the very first scene of the movie. There is one scene with rapid-firing weapons at night, with bright muzzle flashes that also create a strobe effect.
There are two shots where the camera orbits someone, but outside of these two shots, all of the camera work is either stationary or very smooth.
Flashing Lights: 8/10. Motion Sickness: 1/10.
TRIGGER WARNING: Multiple civilians are victims of firearm violence in this film.

Submitting info! Bob Marley One Love is like 99.9% safe. There is one scene where a man is kicked down and very briefly spits blood. There isn't any triggering audio (at least by my standard) and the scene lasts no longer than two seconds. Blink and you'll miss it.
please do make sure to use the actual submit function!

Kingsley Ben-Adir has become very familiar to television audiences from his appearances on the Netflix drama The OA and the BBC series Peaky Blinders, along with a breakout role as Malcolm X in the acclaimed film One Night In Miami... Now, he's back on the big screen playing another larger than life role, starring as legendary reggae artist Bob Marley in the new biopic Bob Marley: One Love. As he did with Malcolm X and with his role as President Barack Obama in the miniseries The Comey Rule, Ben-Adir spoke about how he took a very distinct approach to playing a real-life character like Marley and explained his process.
Bob Marley: One Love opens in theaters on February 14.

“Bob Marley: One Love” Opens Feb. 14, 2024
- “Now is the time for the story of our father, Bob Marley, to be represented in a biopic,” Ziggy Marley says
The words “based on a true story” feature prominently in the trailer for “Bob Marley: One Love.” And while this often signals artistic license and/or dramatization are afoot, Ziggy Marley vouches for the film.
“Nothing happens before its time and now is the time for the story of our father, Bob Marley, to be represented in a biopic theatrical release coming in 2024,” Ziggy Marley said in a statement.
“You’ve heard the music and you think you know the man. But do you really understand what he went through and what moments shaped him into the person he became?”
Starring Kingsley Ben-Adir in the titular role and Lashana Lynch as Rita Marley; directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green; and produced in partnership with Marley family, “One Love” opens Feb. 14, 2024.
The trailer tracks Marley’s musical and political rise, leading to the 1976 attempt on his life and a man wallowing in self-doubt even while receiving worldwide adulation.
“With this release, we look forward to inspiring not only the long-time fans but also the younger generation, giving them a vehicle that opens the door to explore Bob’s life and music and in so doing expand his universal message of unification, justice and peace throughout the earth,” Ziggy Marley said.

'Bob Marley: One Love' Review
#BobMarleyOneLove Review: "The second half of this film is where Ben-Adir and Lynch truly shined, and his journey into stardom was executed well. The formation of the “Exodus” album and the European leg of the tour carried this film."
By: Amanda Guarragi
When we think about Bob Marley, we remember his everlasting impact on music. What started as an outlet to express his feelings towards the violence and corruption in Jamaica became a global protest for peace and unity. His music has been associated with freedom fighters and peaceful protests for years. It’s important to note that Marley felt he had a purpose for his community…
