Prince Harry has addressed ongoing rumours about his marriage to Meghan Markle being in trouble after six years together.
Speaking at the annual DealBook Summit, the Duke of Sussex dismissed the speculation, calling out online trolls and expressing pity for them. “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,” he said, laughing off claims that he and Meghan had divorced or moved house multiple times.
During the event, founder Andrew Ross Sorkin questioned Harry about the public’s obsession with their relationship, particularly the recent narratives around Meghan being in California while Harry attended events solo. “Why aren’t you doing them together?” Sorkin asked, referencing the speculation.
Harry criticised the British legal system, Government, media, and the negative impact of constant public scrutiny, describing the attention as “definitely not a good thing.” Reflecting on his experiences, he said: “I’ve had a lived experience since I was a kid. I’ve seen stories written about myself that aren’t exactly based on reality… how dangerous it can be over the course of time.”
The Duke also made it clear that he and Meghan have no plans to return to the UK with their children, Archie and Lilibet, hinting again at concerns for their safety.
