Here’s a breakdown of the rumor and Prince Harry’s response.
Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Divorce Rumors, Explained
Are Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Getting Divorced?
Everyone remain calm… This is merely a social media and tabloid theory for now. But why are folks convinced there’s trouble in paradise? Well, rumors about a possible divorce started spreading when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex each attended events solo. Royal commentator (BRB, applying for that job) Richard Fitzwilliam speculated that Prince Harry and Meghan have been in the middle of a “professional separation” and are trying to boost their image by experimenting with a new PR strategy — solo public appearances. “This is obviously a new tactic,” he told GB News. “As in every brand the Sussexes want to promote their brand as best as they can.”
At the December 3 New York Times DealBook Summit, columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin bluntly asked the prince about the rumors. He noted that people are “fascinated” by the fact that Prince Harry was at a New York event while Meghan was at a California event, the Paley Honors gala in Beverly Hills. Andrew posed the question on everyone’s minds: Why isn’t the couple doing events together? Thank you for your bold and important journalism, good sir.
“Because you invited me, you should have known!” Prince Harry replied. When Andrew asked if it’s a “good thing” that there’s “so much interest” in the couple’s lives, the Duke of Sussex assured him, “No, that’s definitely not a good thing.” He added, “Apparently we’ve bought or moved house 10, 12 times. We’ve apparently divorced maybe 10, 12 times as well. So it’s just like, what?” Something tells me he’s not too pressed about another round of divorce rumors.
Prince Harry says he ignores the theories but feels for the trolls. “Their hopes are just built and built, and it’s like, ‘Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,’ and then it doesn’t happen. So I feel sorry for them. Genuinely, I do.” Lol. Not to disappoint the trolls, but based on these comments, it does seem like the divorce rumor might be false.
