Prince Harry has seemingly responded to Donald Trump’s latest attack on Meghan Markle after the former U.S. president called her “terrible” and claimed the Duke of Sussex has “enough problems” with her.
Trump’s remarks, made during an interview with The New York Post, sparked widespread backlash, with many questioning whether the ex-president was attempting to stir up further controversy surrounding the royal couple.
However, rather than engaging in a direct war of words, Prince Harry took a different approach. Speaking to a packed crowd of 40,000 at the BC Stadium in Vancouver for the opening ceremony of the 2025 Invictus Games, he appeared to issue a veiled response.
Without mentioning Trump by name, Harry delivered a powerful speech on global challenges, taking aim at “weak moral character” while praising the athletes for demonstrating true resilience.
“At this moment, when there is no shortage of crises, no absence of uncertainty, no lack of weak moral character in the world, the values you embody, the way you carry yourselves—not only at the Invictus Games but each and every day—your courage, your resilience, your humanity, illuminate a path forward for us all,” Harry said.
Many royal watchers interpreted his words as a subtle but pointed clapback at Trump, whose comments about Meghan had dominated headlines. Instead of directly addressing the insult, Harry focused on the values he believes truly matter—strength, dignity, and perseverance.
Trump’s attack on Meghan came amid mounting scrutiny over Prince Harry’s visa status in the U.S. The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, is currently engaged in a legal battle with the Department of Homeland Security, demanding the release of Harry’s immigration records.
The group argues that the Duke may have misled authorities about his past drug use, as detailed in his memoir Spare.
Despite pressure from conservative circles, Trump shockingly revealed that he had no intention of deporting Harry. “I don’t want to do that, I’ll leave him alone,” he said—before immediately pivoting to a brutal dig at Meghan. “He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.”

The former president’s words only fueled speculation about his long-standing disdain for Meghan, whom he has criticized multiple times in the past.
His latest comments also come shortly after he received a personal message from King Charles, congratulating him on his return to the White House.
While some expected Prince Harry to fire back at Trump with an equally scathing remark, his decision to take the high road has been praised by supporters.
Rather than engage in a political battle, he used the Invictus Games platform to highlight the resilience of wounded service members and veterans, shifting the focus back to the event’s core mission.
Still, many wonder if Harry’s indirect response is enough. Trump’s attacks on Meghan have been relentless, and his latest remark adds yet another layer of tension between the Sussexes and the conservative political establishment in the U.S.
For now, Prince Harry appears determined to stay above the fray, keeping his focus on the Invictus Games and the values they represent.
But with Trump’s history of taking repeated swipes at Meghan, it remains to be seen whether this latest feud will escalate—or if Harry and Meghan will choose to ignore it altogether.
