On March 11, Rebel Wilson appeared on the British show “This Morning” where she was interviewed by actor and TV personality Alison Hammond. In the interview, the two discussed the song “America” from the flick “West Side Story,” which has been nominated for several BAFTA awards. While watching a clip from the dance scene, Hammond sang along to the catchy lyrics.
“I like to be in America, Okay by me in America,” she belted out, per the Daily Mail. Without missing a beat, Wilson quipped, “Meghan and Harry’s new theme song.” Hammond giggled at her comment. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moved to the U.S. in 2020, and seem to be thriving in their new environment. In fact, the couple have been getting more involved in their neighborhood of Montecito, California. Moreover, according to People, Harry and his cousin Princess Eugenie were spotted at the Super Bowl in February.
Unfortunately, there won’t be any royals present at the BAFTAs in 2022, per the Mirror. Although Prince William is the president of the academy, he informed organizers that he would not be attending the event. An insider revealed, “BAFTA were told that diary constraints precluded him from attending in person this year.” Apparently, the Duke of Cambridge’s absence would be felt because he “is always a huge draw.” Luckily, the BAFTAs can count on Wilson and her gift for turning any situation into comedic gold.
