Royal fans applauded a thinly veiled swipe that President Trump appeared to take at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle after gushing over other members of their family, including King Charles and Queen Camilla. <\/p>\n
The commander in chief spoke fondly about the royals during a Monday press conference with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Scotland \u2014 but appeared to raise several eyebrows after making a tongue-in-cheek remark about some \u201cnot great people\u201d outside the UK.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing with Charles, Camilla and everybody, I\u2019ve got to know because of four years [as President] and now six months,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve got to know a lot of the family members. They are great people. They are really great people,\u201d Trump continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd in that sense, I think the UK is very lucky, you could have people that weren\u2019t great people. I don\u2019t know if I can say that, but you could have people that weren\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Trump didn\u2019t mention the Duke and Duchess of Sussex by name, his recent frosty remarks about the couple<\/a> prompted royal fans to rush to social media and fuel speculation that his words were pointed at the \u201cSpare\u201d author, 40, and \u201cSuits\u201d alum, 43.<\/p>\n \u201cI love the shade President Trump\u00a0throws at Prince Harry & Meghan Markle,\u201d one person wrote on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n The commander in chief spoke fondly about the royals during a press conference with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Scotland Monday.
