In a conversation with New York Times columnist and DealBook founder Andrew Ross Sorkin during a panel at the 2024 DealBook Summit hosted by The New York Times, Harry joked about the constant reports and attention he and his wife receive from the press — positive and negative.
“Apparently we’ve bought or moved house 10, 12 times. We’ve apparently divorced maybe 10, 12 times as well,” he said, laughing, People reported. “So it’s just like, ‘what?'”
“It’s hard to keep up with, but that’s why you just sort of ignore it. The people I feel most sorry about are the trolls,” he continued. “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.”
Harry also said that he enjoys his life in the US and doesn’t regret leaving the UK, adding it’s what he believes his mother, Princess Diana, would have wanted for him.
“I very much enjoy living here and bringing up my kids here. It’s a part of my life that I never thought that I was gonna live,” he told Sorkin.
“I feel as though it’s the life that my mom wanted for me,” he continued. “To be able to do the things I’m able to do with my kids that I undoubtedly wouldn’t be able to do in the UK — it’s huge. I’m hugely grateful for that.”
