President Donald Trump says he is “happy” that Prince Harry and Meghan have left the United States and returned to Britain. Speaking to reporters at the White House, he added that he was “not a fan,” and said he disagreed with how the couple behaved toward the British monarchy.
Several outlets report Trump’s view that Harry and Meghan treated the royal family with “great disrespect.” The Sydney Morning Herald and the National Post further note Trump’s remark that, if he were part of the royal family, he would not have taken them back. The BBC, The Hill and others highlight Trump’s personal references to earlier relationships with Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles.
Context across the coverage is that Harry and Meghan, along with their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, returned to the UK last week after living in the US for about six years. The couple have not publicly detailed their plans. Some outlets also mention ongoing questions about how long they will stay in Britain and whether UK security arrangements will involve public funding, though details are not confirmed in the accounts provided.
