Former US President reportedly wanted an inside update on Harry and Meghan
Donald Trump couldn’t resist asking for a bit of royal tea during his recent trip to the United Kingdom. According to royal expert Tom Sykes, the former US president casually asked Queen Camilla for the “latest gossip” about Meghan Markle while staying at Windsor Castle with the King and Queen.
The visit, which included a grand ceremonial welcome and a lavish state banquet, was meant to celebrate Trump’s reunion with his “friend” King Charles. But behind the formal smiles and photo ops, sources say Trump seemed more interested in royal drama than royal duty.
In The Royalist newsletter, published October 16, Sykes claimed that an insider overheard Trump asking Queen Camilla, “What’s the gossip on Meghan then? What’s going on there?” As reported by Express.co.uk, Trump was hoping for an “exclusive update” on Harry and Meghan, who stepped back from royal life in 2020. The Royal Family, however, reportedly kept things diplomatic and steered clear of the topic.
Trump’s curiosity about the Sussexes isn’t new. Over the years, he’s been openly critical of Meghan, once telling GB News, “I’m not a fan of hers. I wasn’t from day one. I think Harry has been used horribly and I think some day he will regret it.” Earlier this year, he went even further, calling her “terrible” in an interview with The New York Post.
Meanwhile, Meghan has been keeping busy with high-profile appearances. She and Harry were recently honoured in New York as Humanitarians of the Year for their mental health advocacy through the Archewell Foundation. The Duchess also took the stage at Fortune’s Most Powerful Summit in Washington, D.C., before attending a star-studded dinner hosted by fashion entrepreneur Emma Grede to support women in business.
