Eric Trump Calls for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Return to Britain
Eric Trump, son of former President Donald Trump, has expressed his disdain for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, labeling them as "bad apples" who should be sent back to Britain. Speaking on GB News, Eric praised the royal family as a "sacred institution" that deserves protection and admiration from Americans. He stated, "You can get them back. We will gladly send them back from America," emphasizing his belief that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex do not represent the values of the United Kingdom.
Eric's comments come amid ongoing tensions between the Trump family and the Sussexes, particularly during Donald Trump's presidency. The former president has been vocal about his disapproval of the couple since they stepped back from royal duties and relocated to the United States in 2020. Eric pointed out that while his father remains a staunch ally of the UK, Harry and Meghan are increasingly isolated, stating, "He loves this nation (the British nation), and he loves this country."
Trump Family's Long-standing Criticism of the Sussexes
The Trump family has a history of criticism towards Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. In previous interviews, Donald Trump has labeled Meghan as "disrespectful" to the royal family, particularly towards the late Queen Elizabeth II. Eric echoed these sentiments, highlighting his family's long-standing relationships with British royalty, including his late mother’s friendship with Princess Diana.
Eric's remarks come at a time when speculation is rife about the political engagements of Harry and Meghan in the upcoming 2024 elections. With Meghan's previous praise for Vice President Kamala Harris, there are concerns that they may align themselves with the Democratic Party. Eric Trump has made it clear that he and his father do not support the couple’s political ambitions, reinforcing their stance against Harry and Meghan's influence in America.
- Eric Trump's comments are not isolated; they reflect a broader sentiment among certain American political factions who are critical of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The couple's decision to step back from royal duties and their outspoken views on social issues have drawn both admiration and ire. While some view them as modernizing the monarchy, others, like Eric Trump, see them as undermining traditional values. The dynamic between the Trump family and the Sussexes also highlights the intersection of celebrity and politics, especially in a polarized environment. As the 2024 elections approach, the potential involvement of Harry and Meghan in American politics could further complicate their already contentious relationship with figures like the Trumps.
