Donald Trump weighs in on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s ‘sad’ Megxit declaring ‘it shouldn’t happen to the Queen’
DONALD Trump has said the Queen doesn’t deserve what’s happening to her over the row Prince about Harry and Meghan Markle decision to step down as royals.
The President has now weighed to support the monarch, who is “deeply upset” over the announcement made by royal couple.
“I think it’s sad. She’s a great woman – she’s never made a mistake. She’s had a flawless time,” he told Fox News.
“I just have such respect for the Queen, I don’t think this should be happening to her.”
His intervention comes as it emerged Meghan Markle is back in Canada and has reunited with her son Archie.
The Sun can confirm that Markle has returned to North America after flying out of London on Thursday evening.
Markle arrived in Vancouver late Thursday, and then took a connecting flight to a nearby hamlet where she and Harry had previously enjoyed a lengthy vacation at a $20 million waterfront property.
Archie had remained at the property with his nanny as Markle and Prince Harry returned to London and informed Queen Elizabeth of their bombshell plan to step down from their roles as senior members of the royal family.
“After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution,” said the pair in a statement.
“We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen.”
In their first move as a “financially independent” couple, Markle and her husband will be shacking up at the 35-acre property which boasts both an 11,416 square foot main house and a 2,349 square foot guest cottage.
It was David Foster who arranged for the getaway as he is friends with the person who owns the property.
Markle attended school with Foster’s wife Katherine McPhee, whose sister was in the same grade as the Suits star.
Prince Harry, 35, is staying in Britain to host the Rugby League World Cup 2021 draw next week and will then join his wife and son.
It is thought the pair didn’t want their son to suffer jet lag flying ten hours to and from Canada inside five days.
Markle also flew commercial when returning to Canada on Thursday, after the couple came under fire for their use of private aircrafts.
Harry became a fan of the country during his courtship of Markle, and would often spend time at her Toronto home when she was filming Suits.
The family found the country’s west coast to be just as enjoyable it seems, and were seen hiking and grabbing lunch during their time on the island over the holidays.
Fences were put up around their vacation home for their protection during their stay, and were still in place on Friday when Markle returned to Archie.
The home is part of the Towner Park Country Club, and owned by a mystery Russian.
His stake io the country club, along with other residents in the area, has helped to mask his identity.
The home was purchased for approximately $15 million, but since then has seen a spike in value.
A gated entrance welcomes guests into the property, which has carefully manicured lawns and gardens.
The guest cottage has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, while the French Country inspired main house has five bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a formal dining room, multi-story living room, gourmet kitchen with pizza oven, game room with wet bar, media room, and even a wine tasting room.
The beach in front of the home can be accessed by two paths on the property and there is a conservatory.
It was while at the property that the couple first began to speak with senior members of the royal family about their desire to step back from their responsibilities.
The paid still managed to surprise the family however when they decided to publicly announce their plan this week, prompting Buckingham Palace to release a statement that read: “We understand their desire to take a different approach, but these are complicated issues that will take time to work through.”
No members of the royal family were told that the statement was being released, and the news came on the heels of the palace releasing a new line of succession photo that showed Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince George.
On Friday, the couple did return to social media after taking a brief break from posting on their accounts.
The two visited the women of The Hubb Community, a group that came together in the wake of the Grenfell tragedy.
Harry and his wife have come under fire multiple times in the past few years for their lavish spending.
They had been due to take up residence in a large apartment at Kensington Palace in one instance, but then decided to instead move into Frogmore Cottage – after the property had a taxpayer-funded renovation to the tune of $2 million.
That move precipitated the collapse of the “Fab Four,” who fell apart at the end of 2018 when Harry and Meghan quit the joint charitable foundation they were all part of amid rumors the two brothers were at war.
