Harry attended The New York Times’ DealBook Summit while Meg dazzled on the red carpet in Beverly Hills several thousand miles away.
On stage in NYC, Harry opened up about why he and Meghan aren’t often seen together professionally, fueling gossip among the split personalities.
Speaking to NYT columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin, the royals joked, “Since you invited me, you should have known.”
He also laughed off the divorce rumours, adding: “We’ve reportedly bought or moved house 10, 12 times.
“Supposedly we’ve also been divorced maybe 10, 12 times. So it’s like, what?”
But what Harry thought was putting the rumors to bed actually highlighted his inner turmoil – after a lifetime of speculation – a royal expert claims.
Thanks to being married to Prince Harry… She has many more identities

Hugo Vickers told The Sun: “He said all the pundits must be very disappointed and he felt sorry for them that none of this actually happened.
“What else can he say? He must be fed up with all the speculation he’s had all his life, ever since he was a little boy, so I feel for him in that respect.”
The royal author added that the Sussexes are better off doing their own thing because they don’t thrive by standing next to each other – and Meghan wants to make a name for herself.
He said: “Harry is much better off talking about things without her.

“Maybe she’s better off doing what she’s doing without him, because he always seems a little off.
“It could be suggested that she’s trying to become an independent person in her own right, I mean, we know who she is now, thanks to her marriage to Prince Harry… She has so many more identities.”
‘STRATEGY FOR KEEPING IN THE PUBLIC EYE’
However, their solo appearances could be a tactic to stay relevant and “designed” to avoid tensions in the Sussex camp, Hugo added.
He said: “They always play to their particular skills. They also always have to reinvent themselves.
“They must always try to keep their focus in the public eye.
“And so if this is a strategy where he’s going to do things by himself and she’s going to do things by herself, then you can be pretty sure that they’ve got it right and there’s not going to be any particular tension involved.”
On Wednesday, Harry also insisted he was “thoroughly” enjoying his life in the United States, adding that he was now focused on “being the best husband and the best father I can be”.
He said: “I really enjoy living here and raising my children here.”
There are activities he can do with his children that he “certainly wouldn’t be able to do in the UK”, he said, citing safety concerns.
Harry continues his legal battle against the Home Office over taxpayer-funded insurance to keep his family safe.
With that in mind, he and Meghan have no plans to leave the US anytime soon.

It comes just days after the pair appeared united in a sizzling new behind-the-scenes video.

The Sussexes have been contacted for comment.
Prince Harry laughs off divorce rumours
PRINCE Harry laughed as he broke his silence on rumors that he and Meghan Markle are divorcing.
Speaking during The New York Times’ DealBook Summit without Meghan, the king’s youngest son said he was “very much” enjoying his life in the United States.
Laughing at the speculation, Harry said: “We’ve probably bought or moved house 10, 12 times.
“Supposedly we’ve also been divorced maybe 10, 12 times. So it’s like, what?”
Speaking about why he and Meghan aren’t often seen together on business, fueling gossip, the royal jokingly told a reporter: “Because you invited me, you should have known,” to the delight of the audience, reports the Mirror.
At the event, Harry said he was now focused on “being the best husband and the best dad I can be.”
He said: “I really enjoy living here and raising my children here.”
The Duke went on to tell NYT columnist and event founder Andrew Ross Sorkin that he opposes banning social media for children because it could lead to family feuds and bullying by schoolmates.
Instead, he said such companies should be subject to greater transparency and accountability.
He said that social media were “already deliberately created to create addiction” so banning or removing them “creates various problems”.
Harry said he doesn’t have his own social media accounts to protect his peace.
“I try to think about these things through the lens of being a dad,” he said.
“It’s no coincidence that the world has become more unstable and divided since social media has been around for 20 years,” Harry added.
