Eric Trump, echoing similar sentiments as his father, former President Donald Trump, recently criticized Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in an interview with the British cable news network. GB News. Eric hinted that his father could deport the Duke and Duchess of Sussex if he wins the upcoming US presidential election. “They can happily have those two (Meghan and Harry) back,” Eric said, adding: “There can always be bad actors in everything. There can be bad apples in every orchard.”
“We will gladly ship them from the States. You can have them back here, but I’m not sure if you want them anymore,” Eric continued. “We may not want them anymore, it feels like they are on an island of their own.” He further mentioned, according to The New York Post, that both he and his father “had a lot of respect” for Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away in 2022 at the age of 96. Eric also shared that his late mother, Ivana Trump, “had a great relationship” with Harry’s mother, the late Princess Diana.
In his autobiography “Spare,” Prince Harry admitted to using illegal drugs such as cocaine, cannabis and hallucinogenic mushrooms. In March, GB News presenter Nigel Farage questioned Trump on this legal matter. Trump responded that if Harry is proven to have lied on his visa application, he should not be given “special privileges.”
“We’ll have to see if they know anything about the drugs, and if he lied, they’ll have to take appropriate action,” Trump said. Asked if “appropriate action” could include deportation, Trump replied: “Oh, I don’t know. They’ll have to tell me. They just have to tell me. You would have thought they would have known a long time ago.”
In 2020, Trump openly criticized the Sussexes after they endorsed President Joe Biden. “I’m not a fan of her,” he said, referring to Markle. “I would say this — and she’s probably heard this — I wish Harry the best of luck because he’s going to need it.” Sky News reported The Duke and Duchess of Sussex showed their support for Biden in an exclusive Time magazine video, urging Americans to vote against hate speech, misinformation and online negativity.
Markle stressed the importance of voting, stating: “When we vote, we put our values into action and our voices are heard. Your voice is a reminder that you matter. Because you do and you deserve to be heard.” Amid the controversy, Buckingham Palace distanced itself from the election comments made by the former royals. A palace spokesperson said: “We will not be commenting. The Duke is not a working member of the Royal Family and any comments he makes are made in his personal capacity.”
