Summary
If you instantiate an entity prefab that has a child entity that’s a Widget entity, when you call RemoveFromParent() on the prefab, the widget isn’t removed from the world. In edit session, the only way to remove it is to change session.

Steps to Reproduce
Create an entity prefab, add a mesh component to it.
Create a widget, add an image to it. Compile verse and add the corresponding entity of the widget to the prefab.
In verse, make a simple code that instantiates the prefab, adds it to the simulation and then removes it after some time.
Expected Result
The whole entity prefab is removed from the world.
Observed Result
Only the mesh component is removed. The widget entity stays in the world.
Platform(s)

Additional Notes
Image 1 and 2 show the setup that doesn’t work.
Recreating the prefab in code at runtime works, and the widget is removed correctly.
Image 3 shows the function that works.
