Prince Harry’s remarks at the Invictus Games might reveal his true feelings about President Donald Trump, who recently took a swipe at Meghan Markle.
There’s nothing quite like a husband defending his wife—especially when the criticism comes from someone as influential as Trump.
During their visit to the Games in Vancouver, Canada—an event that brings together injured servicemen and women for friendly competition—Harry and Meghan made their presence known.
Having launched the Games in London back in 2014, Harry witnessed the seventh edition draw an impressive crowd, with 500 athletes competing over the course of nine days.
Yet, one particular moment stood out—a comment that many believe was a subtle dig at Trump.
Not long ago, the president made it clear to the press that he had no intention of sending the Duke of Sussex back to the UK when questioned about the possibility of deporting the former royal.
The debate over Prince Harry’s immigration status gained traction after The Heritage Foundation raised concerns that he might have misrepresented his past drug use on his visa application. This prompted calls for his immigration records to be disclosed.
The controversy stems from Harry’s own admissions in his 2023 memoir, Spare, where he openly discussed his past drug use.
In the book, he stated: “Of course I had been taking cocaine at that time. At someone’s house, during a hunting weekend, I was offered a line, and since then I had consumed some more.”
When Trump was questioned about the possibility of deporting Harry, Meghan, and their two children, he simply responded: “I don’t want to do that.”
Speaking to the New York Post, he elaborated: “I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.”
It seems Harry didn’t take that comment lightly. During a speech at the Invictus Games, he may have subtly fired back at the former president.
Speaking at Vancouver’s BC Stadium, he said: “At this moment, when there is no shortage of crises, no absence of uncertainty, no lack of weak moral character in the world, the values you embody, the way you carry yourselves – not only at the Invictus Games, but each and every day – your courage, your resilience, your humanity, illuminate a path forward for us all.”
Weak moral character? That one might have stung.
Trump’s past remarks about Meghan Markle have resurfaced, particularly his 2019 interview with Good Morning Britain, where he told Piers Morgan that he actually thinks she’s “nice.”
He explained that his previous comment calling her “nasty” was in response to her criticisms of him in the media. According to Trump, he was referring to her words rather than her personality.
He clarified: “I wasn’t referring to she’s nasty – I said she was nasty about me, and essentially I didn’t know she was nasty about me. So I said, but you know what, she’s doing a good job, I hope she enjoys her life.”
Trump also added: “I think she’s very nice. Honestly, I don’t know her. So I have to be honest, I don’t know her but it just shows you how terrible the news can be because if you read that – I’m sure you did, that was talking about nasty – she was nasty about me.”
That being said, he did call her “terrible” this month… so it seems his opinion of her still swings back and forth.
