- Former President
Donald Trump criticizedMeghan Markle during an interview with Nigel Farage. - Trump called Markle "disrespectful" to the Queen, and said her lobbying of Congress members was "inappropriate."
Former President Donald Trump gave a hot take on Meghan Markle this week, calling her "disrespectful" to the Queen and saying he was "not a fan" of hers.
Trump, speaking to former conservative politician turned media personality Nigel Farage in an interview broadcast on Wednesday, said of Markle: "I think she's very disrespectful to the royal family and most importantly to the Queen."
Trump added during the interview that he was "not a fan" of Markle.
"I'm not a fan of hers. I wasn't from day one. I think Harry has been used horribly, and I think someday he will regret it," Trump said. "I think Harry's been used and been used terribly. I think it's ruined his relationship with his family, and it hurts the Queen."
Trump also accused Markle of stepping out of line by lobbying members of Congress to include funding for paid leave in Biden's social spending bill.
"She is trying to do things that I think are very inappropriate," Trump said.
Earlier in the interview with Farage, Trump boasted about his 2019 visit to the UK, where he met the Queen. He was hosted by the Queen and the royal family at a state banquet during a three-day visit, where he broke royal protocol and, on several occasions, ignored royal etiquette.
"I think she's a fantastic woman," Trump said, responding to Farage's questions about his meeting with the Queen. "I was supposed to spend like a half an hour with her. I ended up being there for much more than an hour and everyone said, 'Oh, that's so rude.'"
"But I said no, but she liked it and I liked it. I'm not going to be rude. And we had a great time together," Trump added. "We then had an evening the likes of which you rarely see. And I think she really was laughing and smiling. We got along great. The whole night. She is a great, wonderful woman."
