Prince Harry spoke on Tuesday during a summit in New York about speculation surrounding his marriage to Meghan Markle.
Harry, 40, discussed a range of topics, including an interest in the royal family’s personal life, during the 35-minute sit-down with columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin as part of the New York Times Dealbook Summit 2024 at Jazz at Lincoln Center.
