Harry and Meghan Fear Trump’s Plans Amid His Admiration for Prince William
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly feel humiliated and uneasy following Prince William’s recent meeting with Donald Trump in Paris. According to a royal insider who spoke with Closer Magazine, Meghan believes Trump likely spoke negatively about her and Harry behind closed doors, given his history of public criticism toward the couple.
“Trump has made it clear he’s out to punish them, and Meghan and Harry fear that his admiration for William could make him more inclined to do so,” the insider revealed. “The whole thing has become terrifying.”
The source explained that while Harry and Meghan knew William would eventually meet Trump—given the expectations of international diplomacy—they were unsettled by the apparent warmth of the interaction. “Meghan has zero doubt that Trump spoke negatively about her and Harry at this meeting, and there’s clearly worse to come once he gets into office,” they added.
For the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Trump’s political resurgence has added an extra layer of stress, especially given his past remarks about their royal exit and Meghan’s advocacy work. The insider noted, “To say they’re furious and feeling like a laughing stock is a major understatement.
They’re already dealing with so much worry and anxiety about what will happen once Trump takes office next month, and this has just piled more stress on them.” The couple’s frustration reportedly extends to their strained relationship with Prince William.
Despite repeated efforts to repair their bond with the Prince of Wales, Harry and Meghan are feeling increasingly sidelined. “It does feel for her and for Harry like this is a line in the sand,” the source explained. “They’ve been trying so hard to mend fences with William, but it seems pretty clear that nothing they’ve done has made a bit of difference.”
Prince William’s diplomatic meeting with Trump underscores his role as a senior royal committed to maintaining international relationships. However, for Harry and Meghan, the encounter appears to symbolize their growing isolation and unease as they navigate their new life outside the royal fold.
As Trump prepares to take office next month, the Sussexes reportedly remain on edge, concerned about further scrutiny and feeling increasingly distant from the royal family they once called their own.
