Prince Harry appears to have delivered a subtle yet powerful response to Donald Trump’s recent critical remarks about Meghan Markle. While there was no direct confrontation, his speech at the Invictus Games seemed to carry an underlying message addressing Trump’s comments.
Harry and Meghan recently attended the Invictus Games in Vancouver, an event Harry launched in 2014 to provide a competitive sports platform for injured veterans. This year, 500 athletes participated over nine days, but the attention shifted to a particular speech that many believe was aimed at Trump.
Trump was recently asked if he would consider deporting Prince Harry back to the UK, given that his immigration status has been questioned. The Heritage Foundation raised concerns that Harry might have misrepresented his history of drug use on his visa application. In his 2023 memoir Spare, Harry admitted to past drug use, including cocaine, cannabis, and psychedelic mushrooms. However, when asked about deportation, Trump dismissed the idea, saying he had no interest in sending Harry back.
During an interview with the New York Post, Trump took a direct jab at Meghan, stating, “I’ll leave him alone. He already has a few issues to deal with with his wife. She is a bad person.” This comment was widely viewed as an attack on Meghan’s character.
At the Invictus Games, Harry delivered a speech that many interpreted as a response. Speaking to the audience in Vancouver, he emphasized resilience and moral strength, stating, “At this moment, when there is no shortage of crises, no absence of uncertainty, and no lack of weak moral character in the world, the values you embody… your bravery, your resiliency, and your humanity illuminate a path forward for all of us.” The phrase “weak moral character” stood out, leading some to speculate that it was aimed at Trump.
This exchange is not new. In a 2019 interview, Trump called Meghan “nice” but later said she was “nasty” about him, clarifying that he was referring to her remarks and not her personality. However, given his latest comments calling her “bad,” it seems his opinion of her remains negative. This ongoing exchange continues to capture public attention, with Prince Harry choosing to respond in a manner that reflects dignity rather than direct confrontation.
