In a piece published with The Daily Mail, biographer Robert Hardman recounted a recent meeting he had with the president in the Oval Office to deliver a copy of his new book on Queen Elizabeth II.
Trump reportedly flipped around in the book, at one point bringing up the topic of royal succession and praising Prince William, who is next in line for the throne.
But when he brought up Prince Harry, who is fifth in line, Trump asked if he could “make a comeback” with the royals.

After Hardman responded that it seemed unlikely due to Harry’s deep-rooted issues with the family, Trump said, “Too many things, I guess. That wife of his. Boy, what she’s done to that guy.”
“I guess she got blocked out by William’s wife,” Trump added, referencing what he believed to be a “perfect” public performance from William’s wife, Catherine, Princess of Wales.
In another bizarre exchange, Trump marvelled at the fact that he was Elizabeth II’s last State Visitor when he arrived at the Palace in 2019.
When told that she found him “charming, tall, tanned, big, courteous, mid-century, [and] amusing,” Trump responded with a smile, “I’ve had better, and I’ve certainly had worse.”
In recent years, Markle and Harry have distanced themselves from the royal family and their duties after experiencing racist sentiments about their interracial relationship.
Trump has long been outspoken about his disdain for Markle by consistently pushing the idea that she has led Harry astray, referring to her as “nasty,” and arguing that she was “very disrespectful” to Queen Elizabeth II when she was alive.
In an interview last year, Trump – who has made his aggressive immigration policies the focus of his second term – said that he wouldn’t deport Harry from the US because “he’s got enough problems” dealing with his “terrible” wife.
