  • Donald Trump said he was pleased that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had left the United States and criticized their treatment of the British royal family.
  • Harry and Meghan reportedly returned to the United Kingdom with their two children after six years in the United States and may settle in the Cotswolds.
  • The couple are expected to remain non-working members of the royal family, while questions remain over their stay and security costs.

Donald Trump says he is glad Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have left the United States, and he made clear he would not welcome them back into the royal family.

Asked at the White House about the couple’s reported return to the United Kingdom, Trump said, “I’m happy about it. I wasn’t a fan.” He contrasted that view with his warm relationships with Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles, whom he described as a great man.

I’m happy about it. I wasn’t a fan.

— Donald TrumpHe responded to reports that Harry and Meghan had returned to the United Kingdom.

Trump then criticized the Sussexes’ treatment of the monarchy. “I believe they treated the royal family with great disrespect,” he said. “I didn’t like it. I didn’t like the way he behaved. I thought it was terribly disrespectful to the Queen, to King Charles. I wouldn’t take them back. If I were in the royal family, I wouldn’t take him back.”

I believe they treated the royal family with great disrespect.

— Donald TrumpHe criticized the couple’s conduct toward the monarchy.

Harry and Meghan reportedly returned to Britain the previous week with their two children, Prince Archie, aged 7, and Princess Lilibet, aged 5, for an extended stay. The family is said to be adjusting to life in the United Kingdom after six years in the United States, with the Cotswolds considered their most likely destination because the couple has reportedly found a home there.

The couple stepped back from the monarchy six years ago and later publicly criticized members of the royal family and the institution. They recently met King Charles again, in what was described as a marked improvement in relations between father and son. The length of their stay, their exact residence and whether British taxpayers could cover their security costs remain uncertain. Trump has repeatedly expressed admiration for the British royal family. Queen Elizabeth hosted him on an official visit during his first presidency, while King Charles received him during his second.

I wouldn’t take them back. If I were in the royal family, I wouldn’t take him back.

— Donald TrumpHe said he would not welcome the couple back into the royal family.
