Donald Trump responded to Meghan Markle for her remarks about the elections: "I'm not a fan of hers."
The Duchess of Sussex called on her fellow Americans to vote: "Every four years, we are told, 'This is the most important election of our life." But this is it "
Donald Trump, apparently annoyed by Meghan Markle's recent remarks about the November US elections, lashed out at the actress on Wednesday, wishing very ironically "good luck" to her husband Prince Harry.
Markle, former "Suits" star and current Duchess of Sussex, called on fellow Americans to vote during a special broadcast on ABC on Tuesday. “Every four years, we are told, 'This is the most important choice of our life.' But this is it. "
Asked about the actress's comments, Trump told reporters: "I'm not a fan of hers." "I wish Harry good luck, because he will need it."
Harry, who appeared alongside Meghan on the television broadcast, stated: "As we approach November, it is vital that we reject hate speech, misinformation and attacks on the internet."
"When we vote, our values are put into action, and our voices are heard," Markle said on the show, which featured the 100 most influential people of 2020 according to Time magazine. Neither Meghan, 39, nor Harry, 36, directly mentioned Trump.
In August, the American star had been more outspoken and called for a "change" on the occasion of the US presidential elections in November, in which Trump seeks re-election.
"I think that if they participate in that event with us it is because they are mobilized and motivated to see the change that we all need and deserve," said Markle during a meeting organized by the NGO "When we all vote" (When we all vote), co-founded by former first lady Michelle Obama, who tries to encourage Americans to go to the polls.
Harry, who is not a US citizen, noted that he will not be able to vote this year and acknowledged that he has never voted in the UK as royalty is expected to remain politically neutral. But he urged Americans to be aware of the type of information being consumed on social media right now. “As we approach November, it is vital that we reject the hate speech, misinformation and negativity that comes online. What we consume, what we expose ourselves to and what we engage with online has a real effect on us, ”said the prince.
“But when the bad outweighs the good, for many, whether we realize it or not, it erodes our ability to have compassion and our ability to put ourselves in the other person's shoes,” Harry continued, with his wife adding: "So as we work to reimagine the world around us, let's challenge ourselves to build communities of compassion."
Although it is against protocol for members of the royal family to become involved in politics, since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex renounced their roles as royals and moved to the United States earlier this year, the couple have been has become increasingly active on social causes.
After the video was released, British presenter Piers Morgan tweeted: "Prince Harry poking his nose in the US elections and telling Americans to vote against President Trump is completely unacceptable behavior for a member of the royal family."
The couple resigned from British royal family duties earlier this year and recently moved to California with their one-year-old son Archie.
