In a tale that sounds almost scripted for a Hollywood blockbuster, Death in Paradise star Shantol Jackson found herself in a moment of disbelief as she crossed paths with none other than Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. The unexpected encounter occurred at the premiere of the Bob Marley movie One Love in Kingston, Jamaica, leaving Shantol "dumbstruck" by the royal presence. “Meghan and Harry just casually walked past me,” she told Hello! in a recent interview.
“I’m sure only the government officials knew they were coming.
They were very sweet and very excited. She continued: “I was dumbstruck because I wasn't expecting it. I’m like: ‘This never happens.’ They enjoyed being there and it didn’t feel as though you couldn’t access them.
Of course there were bodyguards, but if people said hello, they said: ‘Oh, hi.’ It wasn’t like: ‘Oh, don’t speak to me.’” Shantol has appeared in the BBC series since 2022, and has become a firm favourite with fans. However, landing the role of intuitive police officer Naomi Thomas on the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe wasn't a smooth sail. After initially being turned down for the part, Shantol's perseverance paid off when she was offered the role years later.
Her audition process, including a memorable Zoom session disrupted by nearby construction work, is a testament to her determination. Her success is not just a personal victory but also a source of immense pride for her father, who worked tirelessly to support her dreams despite initial reservations about her chosen career path. During an appearance on The One Show, the actress shared her father's reaction to landing the role of Naomi.
