Donald Trump has weighed in on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex\u2019s move back to Britain, declaring: \u201cI\u2019m happy about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI was not a fan,\u201d the US president told reporters during a question-and-answer session after a press conference with travel executives on Wednesday. \u201cI had a very good relationship with the queen, really good. I got to know her very well. A really good relationship with King Charles \u2013 I knew him as Prince Charles and King Charles. I\u2019ve known him for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump, describing Charles as a \u201cgreat, great guy\u201d, said he thought Harry and Meghan \u201ctreated the royal family with great disrespect\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t like it,\u201d he also said, adding, \u201cIf I were the royal family, I would not have taken them back.\u201d<\/p>\n
The couple moved back to the UK last week, six years after they left for the US. They had lived in California since 2020. They have yet to speak publicly about their plans, are said to be settling for an \u201cextended period\u201d of time amid speculation as to how long they will stay, and where they will live.<\/p>\n
Trump has a longstanding fascination and admiration for the royal family, which he traces back to a childhood memory of watching Queen Elizabeth II\u2019s coronation on TV in 1953 with his mother, Mary Anne Trump, who was born in Scotland. Trump adored the late queen, whom he described as a \u201cgreat woman\u201d who had \u201creally never made a mistake\u201d during her decades on the throne.<\/p>\n
The king is reportedly looking forward to spending more time with the duke and duchess in a personal capacity, but Harry, 41, and Meghan, 45, will remain private individuals. They previously gave up their official royal duties.<\/p>\n
The couple is not expected to be offered a \u201chalf-in half-out\u201d option, after that was firmly rejected by Queen Elizabeth II.<\/p>\n
Questions remain unanswered, including whether British taxpayers will foot the bill for the pair\u2019s security detail after their return to the UK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Donald Trump has weighed in on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex\u2019s move back to Britain, declaring: \u201cI\u2019m…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":604135,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[146,85,46],"class_list":["post-604134","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/604134","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=604134"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/604134\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/604135"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=604134"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=604134"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=604134"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
