U.S. President Donald Trump today has renewed his criticism on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, accusing them of being ‘very terrible’ to Prince William and insisting he would ‘never speak to them again’.
He also appeared to largely blame the Duchess of Sussex for the rift with the Royal Family, accusing her of having a ‘horrible’ influence on her British husband.
His fresh attack came 24 hours after he claimed he is ‘happy’ they exited U.S. and ‘wouldn’t have taken them back’ following their shock return to the UK.
Speaking to GB News host Bev Turner, Mr Trump said the Sussexes had done ‘too many horrible things’ to be welcomed back so easily.
‘The fact that the King had recently met Harry and Meghan showed Charles is a much better person than I am, Trump said.
‘I wouldn’t have done it. I would have said forget it,’ he continued.
‘Personally, I would not have taken them back. Too much hate, too many really bad things.’
He said: ‘First of all, I think King Charles is fantastic, he’s a friend of mine. He [Prince Harry] wrote a book that was so bad, and she was a horrible influence on him. What she’s done to him is unacceptable.’
Trump argued that the way the couple treated Harry’s brother, Prince William, was also ‘terrible’.
He said: ‘But I think that what she [Meghan] has done and him [Prince Harry], he wrote a book that was very terrible to William, it was terrible.
‘The things he said, I wouldn’t… I mean, it’s just me. I’m sure I’m wrong on this, but I would not have taken him back. I would have never spoken to him again.’
