As with any major news, the world and his wife have an opinion on the Duke and Duchess’s decision – including the 45th president of the United States.
In a recent Fox interview, Donald Trump was asked to share his thoughts on the news, calling it ‘sad’ for the Queen.
‘I think it’s sad. I do. I think it’s sad,’ the President said of the recent news. ‘[The Queen is] a great woman. She’s never made a mistake if you look. I mean, she’s had like a flawless time.’
Asked if Meghan and Harry should rethink their decision, Trump said: ‘I don’t want to get into the whole thing, but I just have such respect for the Queen. I don’t think this should be happening to her.’
