Harry has made visits to Jamaica in the past, long before he sparked his romance with Meghan.
In 2012, the royal traveled to the island nation for his Diamond Jubilee tour of the Caribbean and was seen dancing with a large crowd to Marley's iconic hit "One Love." He also met the late musician's widow, Rita Marley.
Kingsley Ben-Adir stars as the Jamaican musician in the film, which aims to celebrate the life and music of "an icon who inspired generations through his message of love and unity."
Directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green -- and produced in partnership with the Marley family -- One Love also stars Lashana Lynch, James Norton, Tosin Cole, Anthony Welsh, Michael Gandolfini, Umi Myers, and Nadine Marshall.
The project is one of the first authorized biopics of the groundbreaking artist, and Bob's son, Ziggy Marley, serves as a producer, alongside Rita Marley, Cedella Marley, Robert Teitel, Brad Pitt, Jeremy Kleiner, and Dede Gardner, and executive producers Richard Hewitt, Orly Marley, and Matt Solodky.
Bob Marley: One Lovehits theaters on Feb. 14.
