Neither mentioned Trump or Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential candidate, by name. Yet some, including Trump’s allies, interpreted his call on the people to “reject hate speech” as a veiled offensive against the US president.
During a briefing at the White House for journalists Wednesday night, the president was asked for his reaction.
The reporter who asked the question gave her own interpretation of the comments, saying that the couple had encouraged people to vote for Biden.
Trump replied: “I am not a fan of hers and I would say this, and she has probably heard it. But I wish Harry the best of luck, because he’s going to need it. “
The exact meaning of Trump’s comment on Prince Harry is unclear, but it seemed linked to his critical comment towards the Duchess.
It’s not the only throwback to Trump’s field intervention, with Corey Lewandowski, one of Trump’s campaign managers in the 2016 election race and a senior campaign adviser this cycle, voicing criticism.
“They made Britain great again by leaving, I hope they will do the same for us,” said Lewandowski, who appeared to urge the couple to leave the United States. They currently live in Los Angeles after leaving their royal duties.
The dispute runs the risk of straining the ‘special relationship’ between the United States and Britain, given Trump’s fondness for the Royal Family (he often speaks of his Scottish mother’s love for the Queen) and a tendency to watch foreign policy. through the prism of personal ties.
Buckingham Palace has distanced itself from the Duke’s comments, without directly commenting on his words, but making it clear that he was not speaking on behalf of the Monarchy.
