Royal expert breaks down what Prince Harry’s statement on Meghan Markle divorce actually reveals

The Duke of Sussex wasted no time when shutting down the rumours

Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, were hit with rumours of an impending divorce after a supposed 'professional separation' saw the Sussexes spending more time apart and focusing on their own engagements.

Harry wasted no time when shutting down the unfounded rumours regarding his marriage.

Harry and Meghan stepped away from their royal duties in 2020, relocated to Los Angeles and share two children, Archie and Lilibet.

They run the Archewell foundation, through which they have donated millions of dollars to charitable causes.

During a recent event during which he sat down with the New York Times' columnist Aaron Ross Sorkin, Harry dispelled any claims of a divorce.

He was posed the question: "There’s articles left and right about, you know, 'Why are you making, doing independent events? Why aren’t you doing them together?"

Harry replied with a laugh: "Because you invited me, you should have known!"

Harry went on to add: "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?"

According to a royal expert, the plain rebuttal indicates an 'inner turmoil'.

Hugo Vickers told the Sun: "[Harry] said that all the pundits must be very disappointed, and he felt sorry for them that none of these things actually happened.

"What else can he say? He must be roundly fed up with all the kind of speculation that's been going on over his whole life, ever since he was a little boy, so in that respect, I sympathise with him."

Vickers went on to add that focusing on solo professional endeavours is completely normal for the couple and doesn't hint at any marital issues.

He said: "They're always playing to their particular skills. They're also always having to reinvent themselves. They're always having to try and keep focused in the public eye."

In Prince Harry's explosive memoir, Spare, in which he detailed his estrangement from his brother and the future King, Prince William, the royal wrote: "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. Naughty became the tide I swam against, the headwind I flew against, the daily expectation I could never hope to shake."

He went on to write: "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."
