Trump's Diplomatic Dance: Praise for William and Silent on Harry
The Gloves Are Off: Trump Takes Aim at Prince Harry in Scathing State Banquet Speech
In a shocking display of pettiness, Donald Trump seemingly took a veiled swipe at Prince Harry during his state banquet speech last night, lavishing praise on Prince William and King Charles III while completely snubbing the Duke of Sussex. The US President's jabs at Harry were subtle but unmistakable, leaving many to wonder what's really behind this royal feud.
As Trump spoke highly of the Prince of Wales, describing him as the King's "remarkable son" and "really amazing," he conveniently left out any mention of his brother Harry. But it's clear that the omission was no accident. Trump has a long history of publicly criticizing Harry and his wife Meghan Markle, accusing them of treating Queen Elizabeth II "very disrespectfully."
But what really got our attention was when Trump praised King Charles III for being a champion of wounded veterans - a category in which Prince Harry is actually a leading figure. The Duke of Sussex founded the Invictus Games, a sporting competition for wounded, injured and sick military personnel and veterans, back in 2014. And just last week, Harry made headlines with his visit to Ukraine to discuss support for serving personnel and veterans with life-changing injuries.
Meanwhile, Trump was busy laying praise at the feet of King Charles III, claiming that he's done more for wounded veterans than anyone else. But let's be real - it's clear that Trump is trying to one-up Harry in a game of royal one-upmanship. And judging by his past behavior, we wouldn't put it past him to try and deport the Duke of Sussex if given half the chance.
But despite their differences, Trump was keen to present himself as a loyal ally of the British monarchy. In his speech, he praised the "enduring bond between our two great nations" and declared that the UK is "one of the highest honours of my life." And judging by the pomp and ceremony that accompanied his visit, it's clear that Trump was on his best behavior.
The night began with a series of welcomes and poignant moments, including a ceremonial military display featuring 1,500 troops. The US President also laid a wreath at Queen Elizabeth II's tomb in St George's Chapel, joined by First Lady Melania Trump. And as he departed Windsor Castle this morning, Trump was met with a joint photograph with the King and Queen, complete with a warm handshake and a smile.
But beneath all the pomp and circumstance, it's clear that there's still a lot of tension between Trump and the royal family. And judging by his past behavior, we wouldn't be surprised if things get even more heated in the future. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story!
