Donald Trump has teed off on Meghan Markle during a golf trip to Scotland, with the former president blasting her for being “very disrespectful” to Queen Elizabeth II.

The former president also said he was surprised Prince Harry had been invited to King Charles’s Coronation this weekend after saying “terrible things” about the royal family in his controversial memoir Spare.

Speaking to Nigel Farage, a British broadcaster and former conservative politician, Mr Trump agreed the Queen was “the most popular human being in the world”.

“She was incredible, for decades and decades she never made a mistake. I cannot think of a mistake she made, she was never controversial,” he said.

“You cannot be disrespectful to her and I think Meghan was very disrespectful to her, very disrespectful.”

The former president, who was visiting Scotland to break ground on a new Trump golf course, threw his support behind King Charles ahead of the Coronation.

“I think it’s going to be a great day, I think they will do a great job and he loves the country,” Mr Trump said in the interview on GB News.

“I got to know him quite well and he loves the country, really loves the country and he loved his mother.”

He said he was surprised the Sussexes were invited, with Prince Harry to attend as Ms Markle remains in the US to celebrate son Archie’s birthday.

“He said some terrible things … and the book was just horrible,” Mr Trump said.

US President Joe Biden will not attend the Coronation and is sending his wife Jill in his place, which Mr Trump also claimed was “disrespectful”.

He suggested the 80-year-old Mr Biden would be “sleeping” through the ceremony.

“I don’t think he can do it physically, actually,” Mr Trump said, despite Mr Biden recently returning from a trip to Ireland.

“Certainly he should be here as a representative of our country.”

The 76-year-old former president – who is running to reclaim the White House next year – weighed in during an overseas trip that came amid a civil trial in New York in which his lawyers were fighting off allegations that he raped a woman in the 1990s.

He had previously lashed out at the Sussexes in 2021, saying Harry had been “used horribly” by Meghan and that he was “not a fan of hers”.
