Criticism of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex
Trump accused Meghan Markle of disrespecting the monarchy. He also said that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, in his words, treated the royal family with great disrespect. In particular, Trump said Meghan had been “terribly disrespectful” to the queen and King Charles III.
Speaking about Prince Harry, Trump added that if he were a member of the royal family, he “would not have taken him back.” According to media reports last week, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex returned to the United Kingdom six years after stepping back from their roles as senior working members of the royal family and beginning a new life in the US state of California. The couple moved to the United States after relinquishing royal duties in early 2020.
