Donald Trump, the
former President of the United States, has blamed Megan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex
for being disrespectful towards the Queen and the royal family. Speaking of the
former ‘Suits’ star, he said that he had not been a fan of her since day one.
Further, Trump added his thoughts about Prince Harry being used horribly, saying
he would regret it one day.
The first US
officeholder who was impeached twice did not hold back in judging Meghan’s act
of using the Duchess of Sussex headed writing paper to lobby Congresspeople. He
felt that her actions were extremely inappropriate. Trump, who has always
praised the royal family as fantastic, also heaped on that Meghan was disrespectful
to Queen. He himself had praises for the monarch, describing her as a great
woman and historic person.

Notably, Meghan has
been vocal about paid parental leaves. While many might say that the royal
family has always stayed away from politics, Meghan defended her position,
saying it was more of a humanitarian issue than a political one. She further
added that her husband always said great responsibility came along with great
privilege. However, she had always believed in standing up for what is right,
even when she led a different lifestyle.

This is not the first
time Trump has taken a dig at Meghan either. When the couple urged people to
vote, Trump had told reporters that he is not a fan of Meghan’s, and she most
likely knew as much. However, he added his best wishes for Harry, saying he was
going to need it. There seems to be no love lost between the two since Meghan
had labelled him as divisive and misogynistic before she married into the
royal family. At the time, Trump had responded by calling her nasty.
