Trump: Markle my words
‘Whipped’ Harry & Meg will ‘end bad’
Former President Donald Trump says Prince Harry is “an embarrassment” for turning his back on Buckingham Palace — and predicted the runaway royal’s controversial marriage to Meghan Markle will have a “bad” ending.
Trump, speaking on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” in an interview airing Monday night as the show launches on Fox Nation, maintained that Harry “is being led around by his nose” by his ex-actress wife.
“Harry is whipped. Do you know the expression?” Trump asked Morgan during the sit-down.
“I’m familiar with the phrase,” Morgan answered.
“I won’t use the full expression but Harry is whipped like no other person I think I’ve seen,” the former president said.
‘Not a fan of Meghan’
Morgan famously walked off the set of “Good Morning Britain” last year while refusing to apologize to Harry and Meghan for repeatedly trashing the couple.
Trump told the TV host he sees eye to eye with him on the disloyal royals, who now live in California.
“I’m not a fan of Meghan,” he said. “I’m not a fan and I wasn’t right from the beginning. I think poor Harry is being led around by his nose. And I think he’s an embarrassment. And I think she spoke badly of the royal family but in particular the queen.”
Trump, who met Queen Elizabeth II during his presidency, said the two got along “famously.”
“She liked me and I liked her,” he recalled.
‘So disrespectful’
Harry and Meghan — officially the Duke and Duchess of Sussex — married in 2018 but later soured on life as royals.
During an interview with Oprah Winfrey last year, the couple spoke of the stifling environment at the palace and about racism targeting the duchess, who said it drove her to contemplate suicide while pregnant.
Trump told Morgan that he thinks the pair should now be stripped of their royal titles.
“I would,” he said. “The only thing I disagree with the queen on, probably one of the only things ever, is that I think she would have said, ‘If that’s your choice, fine. But you no longer have titles.’ You know?
“I think that he has been so disrespectful to the country, and it’s a great country,” Trump continued, referring to Harry. “I own a lot of things there.”
He added that he believes the stress of the couple’s exile will ultimately tear the couple apart.
“So, I want to know what’s going to happen when Harry decides he’s had enough of being bossed around,” he said. “Or maybe when she decides that she likes some other guy better. I want to know what’s going to happen when it ends, OK?”
Asked Morgan, “You think it’s gonna end?”
“I do,” Trump answered. “I’ve been a very good predictor, as you know. I predicted almost everything. It’ll end and it’ll end bad.
“And I wonder if Harry’s gonna go back on his hands and knees, back into the beautiful city of London and say, ‘Please.’ You know, I think Harry has been led down a path.”
Teased clips of Morgan’s wideranging interview with Trump show the 45th president storming off set when the journalist grilled him on his claims that he lost the 2020 election due to voter fraud.
Trump continues to insist the election was rigged, despite having no evidence.
