Meghan Markle and her spouse have been actively addressing a troubling rumor.
This month, Markle, in an interview with Marie Claire, emphasized her commitment to family unity and bonding, particularly during the holiday season, a sentiment that resonates with many.
The former actress revealed that she and her husband, Prince Harry, and their young children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, would spend a cozy Christmas creating everlasting memories.
Speaking at a charitable event in New York, Prince Harry revealed that he and Markle had faced divorce rumors numerous times.
However, many noted Prince Harry fell short of saying they were happily married. A journalist asked: “I Google News-ed you, and there were people fascinated by everything you’re doing all the time. They’re fascinated by Meghan, who is in California right now, and you’re here. And there’s articles left and right about, you know, ‘Why are you making, doing independent events? Why aren’t you doing them together?'”
He replied: “Apparently we’ve bought or moved houses 10, 12 times. We’ve apparently divorced maybe 10, 12 times as well. So it’s just like, what?'”
The couple’s decision to make concerted efforts to talk or dispel the rumors regarding their marital situation has brought more scrutiny.
For the first time, royal insiders close to Prince William and Kate Middleton decided to share their thoughts on some of the couple’s decisions over the past year.
According to a source close to them, Princess Kate and Prince William are like many others — they are baffled that Prince Harry and Markle have gone their separate ways for the sake of their careers.
They are wondering why they have refused to reunite even for important, charitable causes. The insider told The Daily Mail: “William and Catherine know that their strength is as a couple. It’s surprising that Harry and Meghan seem to believe that they are stronger apart regarding their engagements.”
The source added: “Yes, the Prince and Princess of Wales will do things separately, but they will be together when it matters.”
The divorce reports ballooned over the summer when Prince Harry traveled to Europe and Africa without Markle.
They briefly reunited for one significant engagement but went their separate ways, with Markle participating in multiple events in California and Prince Harry flying off to New York.
In 2025, Prince Harry is expected to continue with his engagement in Africa, which involves his ongoing charity work and conservation efforts, and his lawsuit in England, which concerns his privacy and the protection of his family from intrusive media coverage.
Markle will stay in California for business purposes; she will launch ARO and her Netflix cookery show.
She will also remain on the West Coast for her young children. The theory is that while separate engagements may indicate a lack of unity, they are often strategic decisions that maximize their impact and reach in different regions.
Some backers of Prince Harry and Markle believe they should say that instead of making vague and poetic statements.
