Laughing off the speculation, Harry said: "Apparently we've bought or moved house 10, 12 times.
"We've apparently divorced maybe 10, 12 times as well. So it's just like, what?"
Addressing why he and Meghan aren't often seen professionally together, which fuels split gossip, the royal quipped to a journalist: "Because you invited me, you should have known," to the crowd's delight, reports the Mirror.
