Prince Harry breaks silence on Meghan Markle divorce rumours

After some separate public appearances, reports began speculating whether Harry, 40, and Meghan, 43, were heading for a divorce six years after they tied the knot.

However, in early December, Prince Harry shut down those claims at the New York Times’ 2024 DealBook Summit.

We’ve apparently divorced maybe 10, 12 times as well. So it’s just like, what?

He said, according to People: “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?”

Harry added: “It’s hard to keep up with, but that’s why you just sort of ignore it.”

“The body language appears pinned on the person holding the camera here, as doing smiling zoomies down a beach would normally imply a desire to be chased. There’s even the ‘clue’ of those huge footprints in the wet sand to match up with Harry’s feet, so the undercurrent story seems to be that the romance is still alive in the Montecito household.”

Those divorce rumours can be put to bed now it seems!
