Sometimes, even the President of the United States just wants to know the tea. And that\u2019s apparently what happened when President Trump<\/a> visited the UK for his second state visit. In the middle of joint appearances and a lavish banquet with the British royalty, Trump reportedly took the time to ask a question about Meghan Markle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Royal expert\u00a0Tom Sykes\u00a0reported in his\u00a0The Royalist<\/a>\u00a0Substack that Trump was definitely interested in how the relationship between Markle and the royal family is doing. \u201cWhat\u2019s the gossip on Meghan then? What\u2019s going on there?\u201d the President reportedly ask, with Skyes saying he was hoping for an exclusive update. So far, neither Buckingham Palace nor the White House have commented about the reported inquiry.<\/p>\n

Prince Harry<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Meghan Markle<\/a> have not been working royals since 2020, when the two moved to the United States. However, Harry recently met with his father for the first time in over a year, something that has been interpreted as a sign that the royal family might find a way to come together.<\/p>\n

These new reports make it seem like Trump was really interested in knowing. Before that, in a press conference with Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Scotland, Trump praised the royal family. \u201cBeing with\u00a0Charles<\/a>, Camilla and everybody, I\u2019ve got to know because of four years [as President] and now six months,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve got to know a lot of the family members. They are great people. They are really great people.\u201d<\/p>\n

But he also made a comment that some people interpreted as a dig at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle<\/a>. \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

That\u2019s not all. In 2020, after the couple appeared in a video urging citizens to vote, Trump said about the two<\/a>, \u201cI would say this \u2014 and she has probably heard that \u2014 I wish a lot of luck to Harry because he\u2019s going to need it.\u201d He was even harsher earlier this year, when questions about Harry\u2019s immigration status were raised. \u201cI\u2019ll leave him alone. He\u2019s got enough problems with his wife. She\u2019s terrible,\u201d he told The New York Post in March. \u201cI think poor Harry is being led around by the nose.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prince Harry has been a little more measured in his criticism, speaking about \u201cweak moral character in the world\u201d during the opening ceremony of the Invictus Games back in February, something people took as a dig at President Trump. Markle, however, has not minced words.<\/p>\n

During a 2016 appearance on Comedy Central\u2019s\u00a0The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore,\u00a0Markle referred to Trump<\/a>\u00a0as \u201cdivisive\u201d and branded him \u201cmisogynistic.\u201d Pretty strong words. After Trump was informed of what Markle said, his response was, \u201cI didn\u2019t know that. What can I say? I didn\u2019t know that she was nasty.\u201d The President denied making these comments, but audio of the comments has been published in UK newspapers.<\/p>\n

Markle was not present during Trump\u2019s first state visit to the UK, as it occurred only a month after the birth of Prince Archie. His recent second visit came years after Markle and Prince Harry stepped down as working royals and moved to the U.S. But it seems Trump was still interested in the couple. Perhaps not in meeting them, but at least in finding out the latest details on their relationship with King Charles, Queen Camilla, and the rest of the royal family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sometimes, even the President of the United States just wants to know the tea.
