Trump's Remarks on Harry and Meghan's Return to the UK
On September 2, 2026, former U.S. President Donald Trump expressed his thoughts regarding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's recent announcement to relocate from California back to the United Kingdom after six years. In a statement, Trump conveyed his satisfaction with their decision to leave the U.S., stating, "I am happy about that. I was not a fan of theirs." His comments came in response to a question about how the couple had interacted with the British royal family over the years.
Trump went on to criticize the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for what he perceived as a lack of respect towards the royal family. He stated, "I think they dealt with the royal family with tremendous disrespect. I did not like that. If I were in the royal family, I would not welcome them back again." Trump's remarks highlight the ongoing tension and scrutiny surrounding Harry and Meghan's relationship with the monarchy, which has often been a topic of public and media interest.
Public Reactions and Implications
The former president's comments have sparked discussions among royal watchers and the general public regarding the implications of Harry and Meghan's actions on their relationship with the royal family. Since their departure from royal duties in early 2020, the couple has faced both support and criticism for their choices, particularly their candid discussions about their experiences within the royal family. Trump's statement adds another layer of controversy to the already complex dynamics between the couple and the British monarchy.
As the couple prepares for their move back to the UK, the question remains whether their return will mend or further strain their relationships with the royal family, as well as how public figures like Trump will continue to weigh in on their actions.
