Donald Trump reacts to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s UK move
On September 2, Oval Office reporters asked Donald Trump about Prince Harry’s sudden move. When asked, “What’s your reaction to the news that Prince Harry and Meghan have left the US and gone back to Britain?” Trump replied by saying, “I’m happy about it. I was not a fan. I wouldn’t have taken them back.”He continued that he and the late Queen Elizabeth had a good relationship before her passing and that he and King Charles have also developed a good connection and gotten to know each other very well since the monarch took over the throne. He further explained, “I’ve known him for a long time. He’s a great, great guy, and I thought [Harry and Meghan] treated the royal family with great disrespect.”“I didn’t like it. I didn’t like the way she acted. I thought she was terribly disrespectful to the Queen and to King Charles. And I don’t know, maybe I’m different; I wouldn’t have taken them back. Frankly, if I were the royal family, I would not have taken them back,” he commented.

The family of four also had a private meeting with King Charles and Queen Camilla, who saw their grandchildren after almost four years.
