Meghan Markle is addressing speculation about her marriage to Prince Harry, making it clear that their relationship remains strong despite persistent divorce rumors. In an interview with People magazine, the Duchess of Sussex spoke openly about her deep connection with her husband and their enduring partnership.
“My husband met me when I had [now-defunct lifestyle blog] The Tig, and I see this spark in his eye when he sees me doing the thing that I was doing when he first met me,” Meghan said. “It’s almost like a honeymoon period again because it’s exactly how it was in the beginning when he’d watch me scribbling away, writing newsletters, fine-tuning edits and just really being in the details of it.”
Meghan initially launched The Tig in 2014 but shut it down upon entering royal life. Reflecting on that decision, she said, “I loved The Tig, but I certainly love my husband more. So that was a choice I made at the time, and I wouldn’t change that for a second.”
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been frequent subjects of media scrutiny, with constant speculation about the state of their marriage. However, Meghan dismissed the rumors, emphasizing their close bond. “We’ve been such a close team for so long that we’re just in it beat by beat with each other, and I love that,” she said.
Prince Harry also directly addressed the divorce rumors, calling them “definitely not a good thing.” While attending the New York Times 2024 DealBook Summit, he joked about the relentless speculation surrounding their marriage.
“Apparently, we’ve bought or moved house 10, 12 times,” he said. “We’ve apparently divorced maybe 10, 12 times as well. So it’s just like, ‘What?'” The Duke of Sussex also expressed amusement at the persistence of online rumors.
“The people I feel most sorry about are the trolls,” he added. “Their hopes are just built and built, and it’s like, ‘Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,’ and then it doesn’t happen. So I feel sorry for them. Genuinely, I do.” Since stepping down from their royal duties in 2020, Harry and Meghan have been living in Montecito, California, where they continue to focus on their family and various philanthropic efforts.
