Prince Harry has subtle response after Donald Trump makes savage comment about Meghan Markle when asked about deporting him
In light of President Donald Trump’s recent sharp comments about Meghan Markle, Prince Harry’s speech at the Invictus Games could reveal more than just his commitment to the cause—it may also shed light on his feelings toward Trump.
There’s no greater act of loyalty than a husband defending his wife, especially when facing criticism from a figure of Trump’s power. During their visit to the Invictus Games in Vancouver, Harry and Meghan once again supported an incredible cause, providing a platform for disabled servicemen and women to compete and showcase their strength and resilience.
Founded by Harry in 2014, the Invictus Games have grown in significance, with the seventh edition attracting an impressive 500 competitors over the course of nine days. But amidst the triumphs of the Games, one moment stood out—a subtle but pointed response to Trump. When asked about the possibility of deporting Harry, Trump stated he had no interest in sending the Duke of Sussex back to the UK, a remark that didn’t go unnoticed.
It’s clear that Prince Harry’s speech at the Games was more than just a tribute to the competitors—it may have been a quiet but powerful stand in the ongoing public tension between him and the U.S. president.
Following claims made by The Heritage Foundation regarding Prince Harry’s immigration status, particularly their assertion that he may have been dishonest on his visa application about past drug use, calls have grown for his immigration records to be publicly disclosed. These demands gained momentum after Harry openly admitted to his past drug use in his 2023 memoir, Spare.
In the book, Harry revealed that he had experimented with substances including cocaine, cannabis, and hallucinogenic mushrooms. He recalled an instance, saying, “Of course, I had been using cocaine at that time. When I was at someone’s house on a hunting weekend, I was offered a line, and ever since then, I have consumed some more.”
The revelations have sparked public interest in his visa records, with critics questioning whether his drug history might have influenced his immigration process.
In response to a question about the possibility of deporting Harry, Meghan, and their children, President Trump stated, “I don’t want to do that,” but added that he would leave Harry alone as he believed the Duke had enough to handle with his wife, Meghan. Trump also called Meghan “a bad person” in a subsequent interview with the New York Post, further intensifying tensions between the royal couple and the former president.
Harry’s reaction appeared to be delivered with significant emotion during his speech at the Invictus Games in Vancouver. Speaking to a crowd at BC Stadium, he said, “In a time when there is no shortage of crises, no absence of uncertainty, and no lack of weak moral character in the world, the values you embody—your bravery, resiliency, and humanity—illuminate a path forward for all of us.”
It certainly seemed like Harry’s words were a pointed response to Trump’s recent remarks, calling out the very qualities of leadership that Trump has often been criticized for lacking. The comment about “weak moral character” seemed to hit a nerve, further fueling the public debate between the two figures.
In a June 2019 interview with Good Morning Britain, President Trump addressed his previous remarks about Meghan Markle, where he had called her “nasty.” He clarified that his comments were in response to her own critical remarks about him, which had been widely reported in the media. Trump explained, “I wasn’t referring to the fact that she is nasty; I said that she was nasty about me, and in essence, I didn’t know that she was nasty about me.”
Despite the heated past, Trump went on to say, “But you know what, she’s doing a good job, and I hope she enjoys her life at the same time,” suggesting that, while he disagreed with some of her past comments, he wished her well in her endeavors. The statement appeared to soften his earlier criticism, showing a more diplomatic tone regarding the Duchess of Sussex.
In the same interview, Trump went on to say, “I believe that she is really nice. Sincerely, I am not familiar with her.” He admitted that his previous remarks were based on what he had read in the media, explaining, “I have to be honest with you, I do not know her, but it just goes to show you how terrible the news can be because if you read that – and I’m sure you did, that was talking about nasty – she was nasty about me.”
Despite his earlier comments calling her “nasty,” Trump seemed to show some ambivalence in his words, stating that it was the press that had shaped his opinion. He added, “She was nasty about me,” but still expressed a level of respect, acknowledging that he didn’t truly know her. This shift in tone shows a certain back-and-forth in his feelings towards Meghan Markle, leaving the public to wonder where his true stance lies.
