“They left the royal family and still think they’re in charge. That’s adorable. Dumb, but adorable.” Donald Trump reportedly had little patience for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle after the couple made a quiet request to be included in an upcoming state-level meeting involving the British Royal Family and the U.S. government. According to insiders, the Sussexes hoped to play a symbolic “noble” role, presenting themselves as a bridge between the two nations despite their official departure from royal duties years ago.
Sources familiar with the situation claim the request did not go over well. Trump, known for his blunt and often provocative responses, was said to have been genuinely surprised by what he viewed as a misunderstanding of power and protocol. “You don’t quit the job and still expect the title,” one source paraphrased his reaction, suggesting that the former president saw the move as more theatrical than practical.
The exchange has once again reignited debate over the Sussexes’ post-royal identity. While Harry and Meghan continue to leverage their global profile through media deals, philanthropy, and public appearances, critics argue that moments like this highlight a lingering confusion between celebrity influence and constitutional authority. Whether admirable ambition or misplaced confidence, the incident adds yet another chapter to a story that refuses to fade quietly into private life.
