Former President Donald Trump has criticized Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for their public remarks about the Royal Family, suggesting they caused Queen Elizabeth distress with their comments.
In an interview with TV host Nigel Farage on GB News, Trump expressed sympathy for the Queen, stating that Harry and Meghan’s words were “so bad and so horrible” that they likely “broke her heart.”
Trump, known for his admiration of the British monarchy, has been vocal in his criticism of Harry and Meghan since they announced their decision to resign from their royal duties in 2020 and relocate to the United States.
He has accused them of betraying the Queen with their public scrutiny and has sided with Her Majesty despite his disagreements with other members of the Royal Family.
During the interview, Farage asked Trump about Harry’s potential legal troubles regarding his previous drug use, as revealed in his autobiography “Spare.”
Trump suggested that appropriate action should be taken if Harry lied about his drug use when applying for a U.S. visa, indicating that this could affect his residency status in America.
Trump’s remarks about Harry and Meghan’s actions align with his previous statements, where he stated that he wouldn’t protect Harry from betraying the Queen and suggested that Harry would be on his own if Trump won the presidential election.
However, Trump has also admired Queen Elizabeth, praising her dignity, steadfastness, and patriotic devotion in a tribute he wrote for DailyMail.com in 2022.
Trump’s comments reflect his complex relationship with the British monarchy, his support for Queen Elizabeth, and his criticism of Harry and Meghan’s actions.
