Prince Harry has recently addressed the ongoing speculation surrounding his relationship with wife Meghan Markle, speaking out about rumors of a potential divorce. His comments have raised questions about the couple’s decision to break their silence on the issue, with some suggesting social media pressure played a key role.
Showbiz reporter Sarah Louise-Robertson discussed Harry’s remarks during an appearance on GB News, where she speculated that both Harry and Meghan were influenced by online chatter. “Meghan clearly reads social media comments that people say about them,” Robertson stated, adding, “As does Harry, who is notoriously brittle and thin-skinned.
So some things got through to them and they’ve decided, ‘Right, we’re going to try this new approach.’” The reporter further noted that the couple’s long periods of separation have likely contributed to the swirling divorce rumors. “When you’ve been away from each other as much as they’ve been, this is how these [divorce] rumors start,” Robertson explained.
In his statement, Harry seemed to acknowledge the pressure and frustration that comes with such speculation. His remarks indicate that the couple’s decision to address the rumors may be part of a broader strategy to garner more positive attention for the Sussex brand. “We’re going to try this new approach,” Harry said, suggesting that their approach to public life may shift in the face of constant media scrutiny.
Since stepping down as senior members of the British royal family, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been living in the United States, where they’ve focused on their philanthropic and business ventures. The couple publicly discussed their decision to step back from royal duties in a Netflix documentary released two years ago, which shed light on their personal struggles and the challenges they faced within the royal family.
While the couple has largely stayed out of the public spotlight in recent months, it’s clear that they continue to navigate the pressure of media attention and the ongoing speculation about their relationship.
