Trump says Harry and Meghan treated royals with ‘great disrespect’: ‘I wouldn’t have taken them back’

President Donald Trump on Wednesday told reporters he was "happy" to see Prince Harry and Meghan Markle leaving the United States because he felt the couple had disrespected the royal family.

"I'm happy about it," Trump said in the Oval Office to laughter after a reporter asked for his reaction to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex moving their family back to Britain.

"No, I was not a fan." The president added that he "had a very good relationship with the queen.
