As the Harry and Meghan carnival rumbles on, the Queen has found an unexpected source of support: Donald Trump. During an interview with Nigel Farage, Trump said of Meghan: ‘I’m not a fan of hers. I wasn’t from day one…she is trying do things that I think are very inappropriate.’ Meanwhile, he painted the Duke of Sussex as her plaything: ‘I think Harry’s been used and been used terribly. I think it’s ruined his relationship with his family, and it hurts the Queen…I think some day he will regret it.’
If Trump doesn’t like Harry and Meghan, there’s no doubting his affection for the Queen. He described her in the interview which is due to air tonight on GB News as ‘a great woman, such a great person, a historic person’. Trump has never ceased to extol his admiration for Her Maj. In June 2019, after a state visit to the United Kingdom to commemorate D-Day, he boasted: ‘I have such a great relationship, and we were laughing and having fun.
