Prince Harry Claps Back at Pundits and Says He Feels Sorry for Them as Predictions Fail

Prince Harry has received support after making a candid remark about bizarre divorce rumors surrounding his marriage to Meghan Markle. The Duke of Sussex addressed the speculation during his appearance at the 2024 New York Times DealBook Summit, where he jokingly dismissed claims about his relationship with the Duchess of Sussex.

When asked about their recent solo appearances, Harry laughed off the rumors, saying, “Apparently we’ve bought or moved house 10, 12 times. We’ve apparently divorced maybe 10, or 12 times as well. So it’s just like, what?”

Royal expert Hugo Vickers defended the Prince, explaining that Harry’s comments revealed deeper “inner turmoil” due to years of constant speculation and scrutiny. “He said that all the pundits must be very disappointed, and he felt sorry for them that none of these things actually happened,” Vickers told The Sun.

“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 sympathize with him.” Vickers further emphasized that Harry and Meghan’s decision to pursue solo projects should not be seen as a sign of marital issues.

“They’re always playing to their particular skills,” he said. “They’re also always having to reinvent themselves. They’re always having to try and keep focused in the public eye.” The Duke’s lighthearted remarks about the rumors reflect his frustration with the constant media attention surrounding his personal life.

Despite the challenges, Harry and Meghan continue to pursue individual careers and projects, all while remaining committed to their family and charitable endeavors.
