Donald Trump has urged the
Queen to strip Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of all their royal titles as he
described the Duke of Sussex as being ‘whipped like no person I think I’ve ever
seen’ and ‘led around by his nose’.
The former US president
admonished Harry for being ‘so disrespectful to the country’ and an
’embarrassment’ – adding that the Queen should ban him from even visiting her
in Britain and tell him: ‘Frankly, don’t come around.’
Mr. Trump also said Harry had
been ‘led down a path’ and that he wondered whether the Duke – who stepped down
as a senior royal in early 2020 with his American wife – would ‘go back on his
hands and knees and say “please”.’
He claimed is ‘not a fan’ of
Meghan and ‘wasn’t right from the beginning’, telling Piers Morgan on the new
channel TalkTV: ‘I’ve been a very good predictor, as you know – I’ve predicted
almost everything. It’ll end, and it’ll end bad.’
It was Mr Trump’s latest
attack on the couple, with him having previously spoken of his support for the
96-year-old monarch who hosted him with wife Melania in a State Banquet at
Buckingham Palace in London in June 2019.
And it comes after Harry and
Meghan flew from their home in California and stopped off in England to visit
the Queen at Windsor Castle before heading to The Hague in the Netherlands for
the Invictus Games, which marked their first public appearance together in
Europe since quitting as senior working royals more than two years ago.
But Mr. Trump told Mr. Morgan:
‘Harry is whipped – do you know the expression, whipped? I won’t use the full
expression. But Harry is whipped like no person I think I’ve ever seen. I’m not
a fan of Meghan, I’m not a fan, and I wasn’t right from the beginning. I think
poor Harry is being led around by his nose.’
