Trump claims Harry and Meghan ‘broke the Queen’s heart’ because of the ‘bad and horrible things’ they said about the Royal Family

Donald Trump has suggested Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ‘broke’ Queen Elizabeth’s ‘heart’ with the ‘bad and horrible’ things they said about the Royal Family. 

The former president, 77, scolded the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in an interview with TV host and former leader of the Brexit Party Nigel Farage on GB News.

‘I would say, although she wouldn’t show it because she was strong and smart, but I would imagine they broke her heart,’ Trump said referring to the Queen, who died in September 2022 at age 96 after 70 years on the throne.

‘The things that they were saying were so bad and so horrible, and she was in her nineties hearing this stuff,’ Trump said. ‘I think they broke her heart.’ 

Trump, the likely Republican nominee for president, has often praised the Queen and has been a fervent supporter of the British monarchy.

But he has also been heavily critical of Harry and Meghan, and believed they betrayed the Queen with their public scrutiny.

He has even hinted he may deport the Duke from the U.S. if elected in November.  

The royal couple announced in 2020 they would step back from their duties in the Royal family and left the United Kingdom to live in the United States. 

The pair were critical of the Royal family and palace staff, accusing them of failing to support Meghan as she struggled with the stresses of living in the media spotlight. 

They now live in a nine-bedroom mansion in Montecito, California, with children Archie and Lilibet. 

‘I came to understand that not only was I not being protected, but that they were willing to lie to protect other members of the family,” Meghan said during an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021. ‘They weren’t willing to tell the truth to protect me and my husband.’

Trump said he sided with Queen Elizabeth anyway, because he viewed her with respect after their meeting.

‘Now I’m a little prejudiced because the Queen was incredible, I mean think of it, all those years, 75 years, she’s almost never made a mistake,’ he said. 

In the interview, Farage asked Trump if Harry should enjoy ‘special privileges’ should it come to light he did not tell the truth about his drug use when he applied for a U.S. visa.

In the prince’s autobiography ‘Spare’ he revealed he previously took drugs, which under US law would normally be grounds for the application to be rejected. 

‘We’ll have to see if they know something about the drugs, and if he lied they’ll have to take appropriate action,’ Trump responded.

‘Appropriate action? Which might mean…not staying in America?’ Farage asked.

‘Oh I don’t know. You’ll have to tell me. You just have to tell me. You would have thought they would have known this a long time ago,’ Trump replied.

Previously, the former president has said he ‘wouldn’t protect’ Harry because he had ‘betrayed the Queen’. 

Trump has also said that if he beats Biden in November then Harry ‘would be on his own’.

In 2022, Trump wrote an incredibly moving tribute to the Queen for DailyMail.com.

‘Few in history have more fully exemplified the traits of dignity, steadfastness, resolve, duty, and patriotic devotion,’ he wrote’

‘She counseled 15 Prime Ministers and 13 Presidents, and was the longest-serving monarch in the history of England and the United Kingdom.

‘Spending time with Her Majesty was one of the most extraordinary honors of my life.

‘I grew up in a household where Queen Elizabeth — her grace, her charm, her nobility — were deeply admired, especially by my mother, who came from Scotland.

‘The times we spent with the Queen at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle are memories Melania and I will cherish for the rest of our lives.

‘Her Majesty had a sharp mind, missed nothing, and always knew exactly what to say.
