As far as President Donald Trump<\/a> is concerned, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan are a royal pain.\u00a0
Asked what he thought of their return to Britain<\/a> after a six-year sojourn in Montecito, California, Trump said he was \u201cnot a fan.\u201d
\u201cI\u2019m happy about it,\u201d Trump said in response to a question about the royal couple\u2019s departure a week earlier during a Sept. 2 news conference with reporters in the Oval Office.
Harry and his American-born wife decamped to California from the United Kingdom amid simmering tensions with members of the royal family in early 2020.
Their exit was dubbed “Megxit” when the duo announced they would \u201cstep back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent\u201d in an Instagram post. The couple were given the titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex by Queen Elizabeth II on the day of their marriage in 2018.
Over their years stateside, the couple revealed institutional neglect, lack of support and internal royal family conflicts through an interview with Oprah Winfrey Interview and Harry’s best-seller memoir “Spare”.
\u201cI thought they treated the royal family with great disrespect,\u201d Trump said. \u201cI didn’t like it. I didn’t like the way she acted. I thought she was terribly disrespectful to the queen, to King Charles.\u201d
The couple\u2019s two children Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, met Queen Elizabeth in June 2022 during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. The longest-reigning monarch in British history passed away just months later in September.
The children have now enrolled in British schools, according to British media.
When King Charles and Queen Camilla came to the United States for a four-day state visit hosted by Trump in April, they did not meet with Harry and Meghan. However, when the Sussexes traveled to the U.K. in July, they met King Charles and Queen Camilla.
\u201cMaybe I’m different,\u201d said Trump. \u201cI wouldn’t have taken him back. If I were the royal family, I would not have taken him back.\u201d
