Donald Trump reportedly couldn’t resist taking a cheeky swipe at Prince Harry while discussing the royal family during King Charles III’s recent visit to the United States.

The president has made it clear in the past that he is not exactly a fan of the Duke of Sussex, and his latest remark appears to have continued that frosty streak.

Harry, who has lived in the U.S. since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, did not meet with his father during the King’s now-concluded tour.

Donald Trump Allegedly Wanted Prince Harry Sent Back To Britain

Trump allegedly made his feelings about Prince Harry very clear during King Charles III’s recent state visit to the United States.

Charles and Queen Camilla arrived in America on April 27 for a rare royal visit, where they were warmly welcomed by Trump and took part in a series of official engagements.

However, during one moment tied to the visit, the president reportedly turned his attention to the King’s younger son, who has lived in the U.S. since stepping back from royal duties in 2020.

According to royal expert Richard Eden, Trump allegedly asked a British visitor, “Can you take him back?” in what appeared to be a pointed swipe at Harry’s continued presence in America.

It remains unclear who the British visitor was or whether Charles was within earshot of the remark. The King’s U.S. visit has since concluded, and he has continued with other royal engagements.

Trump Previously Criticized Harry Over His Ukraine Remarks

Trump’s alleged comment would not come as a complete surprise, as he has made no secret of his feelings toward Harry since the Duke of Sussex moved to the United States. Just days earlier, the president criticized Harry over remarks he made at an event in Ukraine in support of the country’s war effort against Russia.

The King’s second son had urged the U.S. to honor its treaty obligations to Ukraine after the country gave up its nuclear weapons following the Cold War.

Reacting to the remarks, Trump said, “I know one thing, Prince Harry is not speaking for the U.K., that’s for sure. I think I am speaking for the U.K. more than Prince Harry,” per CBS News.

Donald Trump Has Shelved Plans To Deport Harry

Ahead of Trump’s second presidential term, there was growing speculation over whether he would move to deport Prince Harry.

The chatter was fueled by questions surrounding Harry’s immigration status, with a think tank previously raising concerns over what the Duke may have disclosed when applying for his U.S. visa.

However, in February last year, Trump said he would not consider deporting Harry. In doing so, he also appeared to take a swipe at the Duke’s wife, Meghan Markle.

“I don’t want to do that,” Trump said when asked about deporting Harry, per the New York Post. “I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.”

The President Once Said Harry Is ‘Whipped’ By His Wife

Years earlier, Trump criticized Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in even harsher terms during an interview with British journalist Piers Morgan.

“Harry is whipped,” the president told Morgan. “I won’t use the full expression, but Harry is whipped like no person I think I’ve ever seen.”

“I’m not a fan of Meghan… and I wasn’t from the beginning,” Trump added of the former actress. “I think poor Harry is being led around by his nose.”

At the time, he also predicted that the couple would eventually divorce and suggested Harry might one day return to royal life “on his hands and knees.”

Donald Trump Is Delighted To Host Prince William

In contrast, Trump has spoken warmly about Harry’s older brother, Prince William, including once describing him as a “great young man” during the reopening ceremony of Notre-Dame Cathedral in December 2024.

That admiration for the heir to the throne is expected to be highlighted during a reported state visit planned for July this year.

Ahead of the potential visit, sources claimed Trump is especially pleased about the prospect of hosting William alongside his wife, Princess Catherine, whom First Lady Melania Trump is said to be particularly eager to meet.

“Melania wants Catherine, in particular, to come,” a source claimed. “She admires her greatly and would love her to visit.”
