Donald Trump Criticizes Harry and Meghan Over Royal Family Rift
Donald Trump did not hold back when discussing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle during his latest interview with GB News.
The US president spoke with presenter Beverley Turner on Thursday, September 3, during a conversation that touched on his longstanding connection with the British Royal Family. Trump spoke warmly about King Charles, whom he said he had known under his former title of Prince Charles, but his tone changed when the discussion moved toward Harry and Meghan.
Trump acknowledged that Harry had once been extremely popular in the United States and recalled seeing him speak before Congress. He also described the Duke of Sussex as someone he had known for a long time.
‘Meghan and her husband, I would not have taken them back in.’

However, Trump took particular issue with Harry's decision to publish his memoir, Spare, which was released in 2023.
Trump Takes Aim at Harry's Memoir
The president criticized the way Harry discussed members of his family in the book, particularly Prince William.
Trump said he personally would not have accepted Harry and Meghan back into the fold after the revelations made public in the memoir. He added that, in his own view, he would have stopped speaking to Harry altogether.
His remarks quickly attracted attention online, with users on X, formerly Twitter, debating whether Trump was right about the ongoing dispute between the Sussexes and the rest of the Royal Family.
Some social media users expressed agreement with the president, while others questioned whether the Royal Family really had much choice when it came to dealing with the couple.
Meghan Announces a New Chapter
Trump's comments came shortly after Meghan Markle appeared to signal a fresh stage in her business career.
On Wednesday, September 2, the Duchess of Sussex shared an image of sparkling wine on social media as she announced a new product from her lifestyle brand, As Ever.
The drink, Reserve Brut, was described as being produced using the traditional Méthode Champenoise and made with grapes sourced from California's Napa Valley.
Meghan presented the launch as part of what she called a “new chapter,” with the wine scheduled to become available through the As Ever website on September 3.
The announcement adds another development to the Sussexes' changing public profile as they balance their lives between the United States and Britain.
Harry and Meghan's Return to the UK
The couple's reported return to the UK has also generated considerable interest.
Harry and Meghan stepped back from their positions as senior working royals six years ago and subsequently established their main home in the United States. Their decision to spend more time in Britain therefore marks a notable change.
Although reports have suggested that the relocation may not be permanent, the family is expected to remain in Harry's home country for an extended period.
One of the clearest indications of their plans is the reported schooling arrangement for their children, Archie and Lilibet, who have been enrolled at a British school.
For security reasons, the exact location of the family's new home and the children's school has not been publicly disclosed. What is known is that the property is located outside London and is a private residence rather than a royal home.
The move has inevitably renewed interest in Harry's relationship with his family, particularly his brother William.
Trump's latest comments add another high-profile voice to the continuing debate surrounding the Sussexes and their strained relationship with the Royal Family.
