After Meghan Markle went on The Nightly Show With Larry Wilmore and talked about President Donald Trump being “misogynistic” (per Vanity Fair), Trump gave a response a few years later. A reporter from The Sun asked the president if he’d heard what Markle said about him and Trump responded in June 2019, “I didn’t know that. What can I say? I didn’t know that she was nasty.”
According to People, in a sit-down interview with Piers Morgan during a visit to the U.K. soon after, Trump was asked about his “nasty comments.” He claimed the remarks were taken out of context and tried to clarify things. “She was nasty to me, and that’s okay for her to be nasty,” he said to Morgan. “It’s not good for me to be nasty to her and I wasn’t.”
Markle was pregnant during Trump’s official visit to the royal family that same month, so the two didn’t meet face to face, according to People. He did, however, spend some time with Prince Harry, although they weren’t photographed together. Trump told Morgan of Harry, “I think he’s a terrific guy. The royal family is really nice.”
As for Markle, President Trump said at the time, “She’s doing a good job, I hope she enjoys her life… I think she’s very nice.” Well, that’s a change of tune, huh?
