Prince Harry, Meghan Markle branded ‘spoiled apples’ by Eric Trump who will ‘happily send them back’ to UK

The presidential candidate’s son claimed he’d “happily” send the Sussexes “back to the UK” as they are “spoiled apples”.

Donald Trump’s son has described Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as “spoiled apples” and offered to “send them back” to Britain.

In a new interview with GB News, as his father continues his bid for re-election in the 2024 presidential race, Eric Trump shared his candid thoughts on the royal couple, reports The Sun.

Eric said that his father was a strong ally of the UK and while he was keen to praise the monarchy, he described Harry and Meghan as “on a little bit of an island of their own”.

He explained: “There will be no better ally in the United Kingdom than Donald Trump, I truly mean that.

“He loves this nation, he loves this country … he’s going to be the greatest president for the West the UK’s ever seen.”

The Trump family, he added, have longstanding relationships with members of the royal family.

But Donald Trump has been an outspoken critic of the Duke and Duchess since their split from the monarchy and move to the US in 2020.

He has previously confessed he is “not a fan” of Meghan and claimed that she was “very disrespectful” to the royal family and Queen Elizabeth II.

Asked whether his father would be in favour of making Prince Harry’s visa documentation public if he were president, Eric said he didn’t want to be drawn on the matter.

But despite this, he had a critical assessment of the Sussex couple in general.

Eric revealed: “What I can tell you is my father had so much respect for the Queen, as did I.

“My mum [the late Ivana Trump] knew so many of them for years, I think you probably know that, had a great relationship with Diana and everyone else.

“You know, that’s a very sacred institution and you can happily have those two back.

“We’ll happily send them back from America, you can have them back over here, but I’m not sure you guys want them any more than we might not want them anymore.

“They feel like they’re on a little bit of an island of their own.

“But listen, you can always have bad actors in anything, you can always have spoiled apples in every orchard, but the institution of the royal family is beautiful and it’s something that is actually admired by a lot of Americans.”

In 2020, ahead of the presidential election between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, Harry and Meghan faced criticism after they recorded a video message encouraging voter registration.

Though they did not express any partisan bias at the time, Meghan claimed that the election was “the most important of our lifetime.”

Ahead of the 2024 election, speculation has grown as to whether Meghan and Harry will cross into partisan territory and endorse the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee, Kamala Harris.

Meghan previously praised the representation Kamala Harris brings to politics and prior to becoming vice president in 2020, while Kamala posted supportive social media messages about the duchess.
