These days, there’s been quite a buzz around Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, with whispers of a possible divorce capturing the public’s imagination. Some reports suggest that a ‘professional separation’ has the couple focusing on their own individual ventures, giving rise to the idea that they might be spending more time apart than usual.
Harry Speaks Out Against the Speculation
It’s important to note that Harry and Meghan made the decision to step away from their royal duties back in 2020, after which they relocated to Los Angeles. Together, they are raising their two children, Archie and Lilibet, all while managing the Archewell Foundation. This charitable organization has made significant contributions to various causes, positively impacting communities in need.
In a candid conversation with New York Times columnist Aaron Ross Sorkin, Prince Harry addressed the swirling divorce rumors head-on. During the interview, he was asked, “There are articles everywhere about, you know, ‘Why are you making, doing independent events?’ Why don’t you do them together?”
With a chuckle, Harry responded, “Because you invited me, you should have known!”
Emphasizing the absurdity of the claims, Harry added, “Apparently we’ve bought or moved houses ten, twelve times. We’ve allegedly divorced maybe ten or twelve times. So it’s like, ‘What?’”
Royal Expert Weighs In
Royal expert Hugo Vickers provided some insights to the Sun, suggesting that Harry’s clear rebuttal might reveal some ‘inner distress.’ Vickers remarked, “[Harry] said that all the pundits must be very disappointed, and he felt sorry for them because none of these things actually happened.”
“What more can he say?” Vickers continued, “He must be very fed up with all of the speculation that has been going on his entire life, since he was a tiny boy, so I identify with him.”
This speculation isn’t anything new for Harry. In his eye-opening memoir, Spare, he delves into his life and the strains caused by his estranged relationship with his brother, Prince William. Harry wrote candidly, “I’d been cast in my role in the Rolling Royal Melodrama. Long before I was old enough to drink a beer (legally) it became dogma. Harry? Yeah, he’s the naughty one.”
He further shared, “I didn’t want to be naughty […] but every sin, every misstep, every setback triggered the same tired label, and the same public condemnations, and thereby reinforced the conventional wisdom that I was innately naughty.”
Isn’t it fascinating how, despite all the speculation around him, Harry manages to keep his sense of humor and clarity intact? His candidness in addressing these rumors not only highlights the strain they might be feeling but also their resilience in working through them. Harry and Meghan’s journey is closely followed by millions, and it is reassuring to hear directly from him about the reality of their lives away from the spotlight.
