Eric Trump resembled Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to “spoiled apples” in a British television interview, adding that the US “may not want them anymore.”
The 40-year-old scion’s comments to GB News come months after his father, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, indicated Harry’s admission of past drug use could be considered in reviewing his US visa.
In the interview that aired Sunday, Eric Trump honored the British monarch while painting Harry and Markle as intruders who rejected tradition when they rejected their roles in the “sacred institution” of move to California year 2020.
“You can have the two,” he said. “Maybe we don’t want them anymore. It feels like they’re on their own island.”
According to Eric Trump, no company is without its outliers.
“You can have spoiled apples in every orchard,” he said, possibly referring to Markle’s lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard.
Donald Trump indicated in March that he would be open to investigating whether the 39-year-old Duke of Sussex lied about using drugs in his visa application, which could jeopardize his status in the United States. Harry admitted in his 2023 memoir “Spare” to having experimented with cocaine, cannabis and psychedelic mushrooms.
The former president boasts of having a long-term relationship with Britain’s royal family, but has been less than welcoming to Prince Harry’s family. He went out of his way in 2020 to say The US would not give them security during his presidency and challenged Markle to a ‘debate’ year 2023.
