Trump Attacks Royal Family?

Trump did not mince his words.

In recent remarks to the U.K.’s Daily Express, former President Trump expressed a firm stance regarding his hypothetical relationship with Prince Harry should he reclaim the White House. Trump asserted that he wouldn’t extend protection to Harry, citing what he perceived as a betrayal against the Queen—an act he deemed unforgivable. This declaration comes amidst legal proceedings initiated by the Heritage Foundation, questioning the Department of Homeland Security’s adherence to visa regulations concerning the 39-year-old royal.

Accusing the Biden administration of shielding Harry, Trump emphasized his reluctance to offer similar protection, stating unequivocally, “He would be on his own if it was down to me.” The 45th president’s stance underscores a notable departure from traditional diplomatic courtesies extended to members of foreign royal families.

Harry and his wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, transitioned away from full-time royal duties in 2020, relocating to California. This move precipitated a series of public revelations, including Harry’s candid memoir, “Spare,” published last year. Within its pages, Harry candidly discussed his struggles with grief following the untimely demise of his mother, Princess Diana, in 1997, as well as his contentious rapport with the British media and strained familial relations.

Trump further criticized what he perceives as excessive leniency from the royal family towards Harry, particularly in light of his actions. The former president’s sentiments echo broader public discourse surrounding Harry’s decisions and their ramifications within the royal institution.

In contrast, Harry recently disclosed in an interview with ABC News that while the prospect of American citizenship has crossed his mind, it remains a secondary consideration at present. This statement reflects Harry’s ongoing navigation of identity and future aspirations amid his relocation to the United States.
