The Duchess of Sussex is known for her forthright opinions on Donald Trump, having accused him of being “misogynistic” and “divisive” during his 2016 presidential campaign. The 37-year old Meghan also went on record to say that she would vote for Hilary Clinton and threatened to emigrate to Canada if Trump became the next President after Barack Obama. Last year, Trump visited the UK on two occasions and the Duchess of Sussex was conspicuous by her absence, as she appeared to be avoiding any meeting with the US President.

When informed by The Sun of Meghan’s previous comments, the US President claimed he was unaware of them.

He said: ““I didn’t know that. What can I say? I didn’t know that she was nasty.”

Commenting on the frosty relationship between Meghan Markle and Donald Trump, political chat show host John Cardillo dismissed Meghan Markle as a minor and insignificant celebrity.

He told the Express.co.uk that Meghan Markle’s antagonistic attitude to Trump was simply a way to curry favour with Hollywood’s elite, so as to further her own acting career.

The host of America Talks Live said: “She was like a ‘C’ list actress, a supporting actress on a cable network show for a few seasons.

“She got lucky and married a prince.

“Now I think Meghan Markle realises that she is never going to be truly embraced as a Royal.

“She wants to be back in the good graces of Hollywood.

The move could put her on a collision course with other royal family members.

The source explained: “The Duchess is said to be frustrated that she was forced to stay out of politics after getting engaged to Harry.

“She has strong political opinions and will now take advantage of the greater freedom she has to express them publicly.”

The source added that Meghan could make an intervention ahead of this year’s US Presidential election.

Harry and Meghan are known to have a close relationship with former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama.

There was controversy ahead of their 2018 wedding over whether the former President would be invited.

According to reports the UK Government was concerned this could be interpreted as a snub to President Trump if it took place.

In the event senior politicians stayed away from the Windsor ceremony.

Meghan and Harry employ Sara Latham, who used to work for Hillary Clinton, as their communications secretary.
