Trump laudes Prince William, as Prince Harry remains speechless
Donald Trump and Prince Harry shared the same room at Windsor Castle during a state dinner on September 17, 2022, but their relationship remains strained, as evidenced by Trump's speech that seemed to take a swipe at the Duke of Sussex.
The current US President and his wife Melania are in the UK for a second state visit, but their interaction with the royal family has been marked by past controversies. In the past, Trump has expressed disapproval of Prince Harry and his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, known as Meghan Markle.
Trump's disdain for the royal couple is well known, and he has even gone as far as to threaten to deport Harry from the US. However, during the state dinner, Trump did not mention Prince Harry by name, choosing instead to commend Prince Charles for helping wounded veterans "like no one else."
Trump also praised Prince William for raising a remarkable son, referring to Prince Charles, but made no mention of Harry's efforts to support veterans. In contrast, Harry founded the Invictus Games, an adaptive sports event for wounded veterans and service members, in 2014, aimed at supporting their recovery and rehabilitation through sport.
Harry's commitment to supporting veterans was recently on display during his visit to Ukraine last week, where he met with wounded veterans. Despite their shared interest in supporting those who have served their countries, the disconnect between Trump and Harry remains.
Prince Harry, who is 41 years old, and Prince William, who is 43, have had a tumultuous relationship in recent years, with Trump's past statements about the royal family causing a rift. In the past, Trump has stated that Harry and his wife broke the Queen's heart with their royal exit.
