Former President Donald Trump says Prince Harry is “embarrassed” for turning his back on Buckingham Palace – and predicted the runaway royal’s controversial marriage to Meghan Markle will have a “bad” ending.
Speaking about “Piers Morgan Uncensored” in an interview that aired Monday night, Trump claimed Harry was being “led by the nose” by his ex-actress.
“Harry will be flogged. Do you know the expression?” Trump asked Morgan during the session.
“I know the expression,” Morgan replied.
“I won’t use the full term, but Harry is flogged like no other person I’ve seen,” the former president said.
Morgan famously walked off the set of Good Morning Britain last year while refusing to apologize to Harry and Meghan for repeatedly trashing the couple.

Trump told the TV host he saw eye to eye with the disloyal royals, now based in California.
“I’m not a fan of Meghan,” he said. “I’m not a fan and I wasn’t right from the start. I think poor Harry is being led around by his nose. And I think he’s embarrassing. And I think she spoke badly about the royal family, but the Queen in particular.”
Trump, who met the Queen while he was at the White House, said the two hit it off “famously.”

“She liked me and I liked her,” he recalled.
Harry and Meghan – officially the Duke and Duchess of Sussex – married in 2018 but later spoiled life as king.
During an interview with Oprah Winfrey last year, the couple opened up about the stuffy environment at the palace and racist attacks on the Duchess, who also said it prompted her to consider suicide while pregnant.

Trump told Morgan he thought the couple should now be stripped of their royal titles.
“I would,” he said. “The only thing I can’t share with the Queen is probably one of the few things ever that I think she would have said, ‘If that’s your choice, fine. But you have no more titles now.’ You know?
“‘I think he was so disrespectful to the country and it’s a great country,'” Trump continued, referring to Harry. “I own many things there…”

The former president added that he believes the stresses of exile will eventually tear the couple apart and Harry will eventually tire of being plagued by chickens.
“Well, I want to know what’s going to happen when Harry decides he’s had enough of being bossed around,” he said. “Or maybe if she decides she likes another guy better. I want to know what will happen when it ends, okay?”
Morgan asked, “Do you think it will end?”

“I do,” Trump replied. “As you know, I was a very good predictor. I predicted almost everything. It will end and it will end badly.
“And I wonder if Harry will get on his hands and knees again, back to the beautiful city of London and say, ‘Please.’ You know, I think Harry was led down a path.”

Trump continues to insist that the election was rigged and that he rightly won, despite having no evidence.
Morgan’s new show, Piers Morgan Uncensored, starts Monday. The program is broadcast every weekday on networks around the world including Fox Nation, Talk TV in the UK and Sky News Australia in that country.
