Meghan Markle has found herself at the centre of fresh controversy after US President Donald Trump appeared to take a not-so-subtle swipe at her and Prince Harry during a press conference with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Scotland last week. The 79-year-old leader praised the British royals while on an unofficial visit to the UK — before making a loaded comment many saw as a dig at the California-based Sussexes. Trump said: “Being with Charles, Camilla and everybody, I’ve got to know a lot of the family members. They are great people. They are really great people.”

He then added: “And in that sense, I think the UK is very lucky, you could have people that weren’t great people. I don’t know if I can say that, but you could have people that weren’t.” The PM remained tight-lipped during the comments but eventually offered a diplomatic response: We’re very lucky to have our Royal Family. The comments are yet another example of Trump having a crack at Meghan and Harry — something he has become known for over the years.

Appearing on Sky News Australia’s The Royal Report, presenter Caroline Di Russo said: This is definitely not the first time.”

News Corp columnist Angela Mollard added: “He loves having a crack at the Sussexes. He’s said all sorts of things about Meghan for years. He’s talked about her being nasty to him, how she’s a ‘terr1ble p3rson’, how Harry is ‘wh1pped by her’ and that ‘he’s under her thumb’.”

Angela also referenced an ongoing point of tension between Trump and Harry: “Of course, there’s some beef between Trump and Harry over whether or not he’s lied over his immigration papers, because of course, Harry wrote in Spare about taking DG.”

She also praised Starmer’s attempts to steer the conversation back on track: “I just loved watching Keir Starmer. He was clearly trying to save it from going wrong. Trump’s saying lovely things about Charles and Camilla, he adores William obviously… and then you just don’t want him to drop them in it, because it’s politics — you’ve got to get on with everybody.”

Angela concluded: “But Trump will always put his two cents in, and he certainly did here. I think we’ll still be hearing more from him in the future about the royal family — and particularly Harry and Meghan.”

And Trump wasn’t the only high-profile name to comment on the Sussexes. Lifestyle mogul Martha Stewart also made headlines when she was asked about Meghan’s new brand, As Ever.

The Daily Express Royal Reporter Pandora Forsyth said on The Royal Report: “It wasn’t so much of a dig, per se, but she did get asked about Meghan, and she did say that she ‘didn’t really know Meghan’… and that she ‘hopes she knows what she’s talking about’.”

Meanwhile, Meghan celebrated her 44th birthday on Monday by posting a short clip on Instagram showcasing her As Ever rosé, which sold out less than an hour after launching on 1 July.

“Goodness in a glass. Right around the corner… Cheers to August!,” the caption read.
