Meghan Markle and Prince Harry reportedly have a new way of handling online gossip.According to showbiz reporter Sarah Louise-Robertson, this is one of the reasons the Duke of Sussex, 40, dismissed any divorce rumors outright and why the couple have been pursuing separate business endeavors. “Meghan clearly reads social media comments that people say about them,” Louise-Robertson told GB News.“As does Harry, who is notoriously brittle and thin-skinned,” the journalist continued. “So some things got through to them and they’ve decided, ‘Right, we’re going to try this new approach.'”Added Louise-Robertson, “When you’ve been away from each other as much as they’ve been, this is how these [divorce] rumors start.”In recent months, the “Suits” alum, 43, and the prince have deliberately parted ways in their work life to garner a positive response for the Sussex brand.Louise-Robertson noted that the couple’s decision has “echoes of Charles and Diane.”“You’ve gone from being joined at the hip on the red carpet to not being seen with each other at all in public,” she said.Host Patrick Christys weighed in on Markle and Harry’s choice, taking a moment to acknowledge the “difficult” position the Sussexes find themselves in.The GB News anchor called them “hyper mobile” members of the world’s wealthy elite, meaning they “don’t have to be joined at the hip the whole time.”On Wednesday, Harry publicly addressed rumors that he and Markle are getting divorced after tying the knot in 2018.NYT columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin asked the royal member about the speculation at the New York Times’ 2024 DealBook Summit.“I Google News-ed you, and there were people fascinated by everything you’re doing, all the time.
