Why do rumours spread?

Rumours, like those about Meghan Markle joining The Gentlemen, often spread quickly through media and social circles. They can originate from various sources, sometimes from genuine leaks, but often from speculation or even deliberate misinformation. The speed of modern news cycles and social media platforms amplifies their reach, making it challenging to distinguish fact from fiction until official statements are made.
