Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex and unofficial President of the “None of Your Business” Club, has finally addressed the internet’s favorite pastime: wildly speculating about his marriage to Meghan Markle. Spoiler alert—he and Meghan are not doing the cha-cha to the divorce court.
Speaking at The New York Times’ 2024 DealBook Summit on Wednesday (December 4), Harry took a break from being a royal rebel to discuss life in the public eye. When asked if it was “a good thing” that so much of the world was nosy about his personal life, particularly the “are-they-or-aren’t-they” marriage drama, Harry gave an answer dripping with sarcasm and a dash of “bless your heart.”
“Uh, no, it’s definitely not a good thing,” Harry said, probably wishing he had a Buckingham Palace-sized eye-roll ready. “Apparently, we’ve bought or moved house 10, 12 times. And we’ve divorced just as many times. So I’m like, what?” he said, channeling every confused emoji ever made.
Then, in classic Harry style, he kept it light and funny: “It’s hard to keep up with, but that’s why you just sort of ignore it,” he shrugged, clearly unbothered by the chaos swirling around him like a royal hurricane.
But here’s the kicker—Harry saved his best zinger for the trolls who have been hoping for his marital downfall. “The people I feel most sorry for are the trolls,” he quipped, barely hiding a smirk. “Their hopes are just built and built. It’s like, ‘Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!’ And then it doesn’t happen. So I feel sorry for them. Genuinely, I do.” Cue the sound of tea being spilled everywhere.
Harry and Meghan are fine, their marriage is fine, and the only thing that’s falling apart is the dreams of internet trolls. Someone pass them a tissue. 🫖
