Donald Trump told reporters he is “happy about it” that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the United States. The couple moved back to the UK last month to live in a private home outside London. Their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, came with them. The kids are set to start a British school when the new term begins later this month. This news comes straight from reports by Breitbart and the New York Post.

Trump made his feelings clear about the couple’s return to Britain. He said, “I was not a fan” of the Royal pair. He added that he thought they “treated the Royal family with great disrespect.” The President singled out Markle for her behavior toward the late Queen Elizabeth II. He stated, “I thought she was terribly disrespectful to the Queen, to King Charles.” These are his exact words from the Oval Office.
Trump knows the British Royal family better than most Americans. He had a “very good relationship with the queen” during his first term. He also described King Charles as a “great, great guy.” The two leaders hosted each other for state visits in recent years. Trump noted he knew Charles “as Prince Charles and King Charles” for a long time. This history shapes his sharp opinion on the Sussexes’ actions.
He was blunt about what he would do if he ran the family. “If I were the Royal family, I would not have taken them back,” Trump said. He repeated this point to reporters, saying, “I wouldn’t have taken them back.” The move by Harry and Meghan is seen by Trump as a breach of protocol. He believes their actions hurt the dignity of the monarchy.

This story hits home for anyone who values respect for elders and tradition. The Sussexes left their mansion in Montecito, California, to return to England. They still hold their titles and Harry remains fifth in line for the throne. Yet Trump sees their departure as a positive step. He feels they showed a lack of grace toward their own family. Respect for those who came before us is a core American value that we should not ignore.
The President’s comments highlight a simple truth about behavior. You cannot insult your hosts and expect to be welcomed back with open arms. Trump has been clear that he did not like the way Meghan acted. He felt the disrespect was too great to overlook. His stance is firm and based on his own personal experience with the Royals.
The Sussexes are now settled in the UK, and the President is glad to see them go. He has made his position known without any hesitation. The facts are clear from the reports: Trump is “happy about it” and would not have let them return. This is a moment where personal loyalty and family honor take center stage. The question now is how the Royal family will handle their future with the couple.
