Here’s why Meghan Markle won’t meet Trump on his U.K. visit

Meghan Markle made her own feelings about Donald Trump clear. Her husband’s feelings about President Trump, however, may be less than favorable as well. Markle’s estranged father, Thomas, told the press in June 2018 that he loathed Trump, but that Prince Harry told him to give Trump a chance, noting, “I think Harry has probably changed his mind by now — I certainly hope he has.”

Trump also said some questionable things about the late Princess Diana (who Markle reportedly admires) in two separate interviews with Howard Stern. In 2000, Trump told the shock jock (via People), “I think she’s magnificent. Lady Di was truly a woman with great beauty. I’ve seen her a couple of times. She was really beautiful, and people didn’t realize that beautiful. She was supermodel beautiful. She had the height, she had the beauty, she had the skin, the whole thing.” Those were the nice things. Only a few months after Diana’s death in 1997, Trump made vulgar comments to Stern about wanting to bed the People’s Princess … but only if she got tested for HIV. What’s more, a friend of Diana wrote in The Sunday Times (via People) in 2015 that Trump pursued Prince Charles’ ex almost to the point of “stalking.”

Obviously, we can’t say for sure, but combined with his “nasty” remark about Markle, that seems like two clear strikes against Trump for Harry.
