Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's recent trip to Jamaica has been labelled as 'misguided' and 'insensitive' by critics.

The royal couple made an unexpected visit to attend the premiere of Bob Marley: One Love and express support for the Marley family.

However, their decision to pose with Jamaica's Prime Minister Andrew Holness, a vocal advocate for ending ties with the monarchy, sparked criticism.

As per The Times report, sources reveal that the timing of the visit, coinciding with King Charles' upcoming prostate treatment and Princess Kate's hospital recovery, wasn't well-received at Buckingham Palace.

The couple's association with Brian Robbins, Paramount's CEO, added to the political complexities, suggesting a potential lack of awareness.

Insiders suggest that Prince Harry may not fully grasp the familial or political sensitivities tied to being photographed with the Jamaican PM.

The visit was facilitated via a private jet courtesy of Paramount Pictures, the production company behind Marley's new film, raising questions about the couple's choices.

King Charles' health update:

King Charles is reported to be in good health following a 'corrective procedure' for an enlarged prostate.

Queen Camilla conveyed the positive update during her visit, maintaining a cheerful demeanor.

The British Monarch's admission to the London Clinic coincided with Princess Kate's ongoing recovery from abdominal surgery.

Buckingham Palace confirmed Charles' proactive decision to publicize his upcoming surgery to inspire awareness about prostate health.

The King expressed gratitude for well-wishes and highlighted the positive impact on public health awareness.
