The ongoing feud between Donald Trump and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has taken center stage following Trump's comments about Meghan Markle. In an interview with the New York Post, Trump said, “I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible," overshadowing ongoing speculation regarding Harry's immigration status.
The comments came just as Prince Harry opened the Invictus Games in Canada, where he delivered a speech that many interpreted as a veiled jab at Trump. “In this moment of difficulty and division... we gather here in a spirit of unity,” Harry stated, referencing values admired in the service members rather than engaging directly with Trump’s remarks. Critics suggested that his statement about “weak moral character” was aimed at Trump amid increasing political tensions.
UK commentator Esther Krakue mentioned on Sky News Australia that the whole of Britain was laughing at Trump's characterization of Meghan, adding that while it was entertaining, it highlighted Harry's struggles with leadership and independence.
Subsequently, Newsweek clarified that Trump's declaration to leave Harry alone on the visa issue came as a relief to the royal couple, despite ongoing legal challenges from conservative groups, such as the Heritage Foundation, seeking access to Harry's immigration records.
Harry and Meghan's public presence at the Invictus Games was viewed as a means to counterbalance the criticisms they face, especially during a time of heightened media attention surrounding their alleged marital issues. Amid those discussions, the couple embraced and shared a kiss, with Meghan stating that Canada feels like “home.” This display appeared to serve as a rebuttal to the divorce rumors surrounding their marriage.
While many in the audience applauded the royal couple, some critics speculated about Harry's motives and the impact of their "woke" agenda on their charity's public perception, as noted by a source from the Invictus Games.
