A US journalist claimed that Donald Trump has ‘captured the public’s disgust’ with the Sussexes. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have driven Americans “over the edge” with their “entitlement”, a commentator has claimed. The couple have lived in Montecito, California since they both decided to leave the Royal Family in 2020.
Since then, they have undertaken numerous projects to try and win over the American audience, criticising the Royal Family repeatedly in the process. Harry’s memoir ‘Spare’ and the Sussexes’ Netflix series included damaging allegations about individual royals and also on how the institution functions. This has not had the desired effect of winning over people across the pond, according to a commentator.
Speaking to GB News America, US journalist Lee Cohen said: “People on both sides of the Atlantic are overwhelmingly and completely fed up with Harry and Meghan’s betrayals, disloyal hypocrisy and self-promotion. “Trump captures the public’s disgust with the poisonous couple boasting, such as the lofty claims in their new rebranding that depicts Meghan as one of the world’s most influential women.
“The thing that really drives us over the edge here now, and President Trump captured this too, is the eternal sense of hubris and entitlement for this poisonous pair.” Cohen’s comments come after Donald Trump told the Daily Express US that Harry would be “on his own” in his visa legal battle were he president. Trump said: “I wouldn’t protect him. He betrayed the Queen. That’s unforgivable. He would be on his own if it was down to me.”
Trump’s comments came after the US think tank, The Heritage Foundation, demanded that Harry’s visa application be made public. They say he may have lied about his previous drug use, to which he admits in his book Spare that he has previously taken cocaine and other substances. Lawyers for the federal government, however, argued that the Duke’s statements from the book “is not proof” he ever used illegal drugs before entering the US.
