Donald Trump Shades Prince Harry
Throughout his speech, Trump repeatedly spoke highly of Prince William with no mention of his brother, Prince Harry. "I just want to say that His Majesty has also raised a remarkable son in his Royal Highness, Prince of Wales," he said. "Really amazing. We've got to know you and I think you're going to have an unbelievable success in future."
"Melania and I are delighted to visit again with Prince William and to see her Royal Highness, Princess Catherine, so radiant and so healthy, so beautiful," he added. He then went on to praise King Charles for his work with wounded veterans, saying he's helped them "like nobody else," despite former Army captain Prince Harry founding the Invictus Games. The games, a sporting competition for wounded, injured, and sick military personnel and veterans, takes place every two years and has had huge success and impact.
Donald Trump Calls For Prince Harry To Be Deported
It's not news that Donald Trump isn't Prince Harry's biggest fan, in fact this isn't even the first time he's shaded him. When the Duke's American visa status was in trouble after conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation launched a lawsuit against him (for admitting to using cocaine, smoking marijuana, and experimenting with magic mushrooms as a teenager in his memoir), Donald Trump said he was no friend of his.
He reportedly previously told The Express of Prince Harry: "I wouldn't protect him. He betrayed the Queen. That's unforgivable. He would be on his own if it was down to me." Fortunately for Harry, his immigration status was quietly settled in court and he is here to stay.
