Prince Harry Prepares for Legal Battle to Defend Meghan Markle Against Trump’s Criticism
Prince Harry is reportedly gearing up for another high-stakes legal battle, this time to defend his wife, Meghan Markle, against harsh comments made by former US President Donald Trump. The Duke of Sussex is said to be considering joining forces with Trump in what could become one of his most significant court cases yet. This development follows Trump’s recent remarks, where he labeled Meghan as "terrible" and accused Harry of being "whipped."
According to *RadarOnline*, Meghan is deeply upset by Trump’s comments, and royal experts are advising the couple to explore the possibility of filing a defamation lawsuit. Renowned royal author Ingrid Seward commented on the situation, stating, “It was an incredibly hurtful thing to say, terrible. I know what he meant, and we possibly all agree with him, but to say it publicly like that is very hurtful.” Seward also suggested that the couple’s residence in California—a predominantly Democratic state—could make Trump’s remarks even more damaging, given his Republican ties.
Trump has been vocal in his criticism of Meghan in the past, describing her as "divisive" and "misogynistic." During a private meeting in Paris, he praised Prince William while dismissing Harry, claiming the Duke was being “led around by the nose.” Trump also added, “I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.” These comments have not only heightened tensions between the Sussexes and Trump but have also ignited a firestorm of debate across social media.
The couple’s legal team is reportedly weighing their options. An intellectual property attorney noted, “It could be argued that his comments are harmful to their brand, but any litigation against Donald Trump would be thorny, to say the least.” Despite the potential challenges, Harry and Meghan are no strangers to standing their ground. They have previously taken legal action against media outlets and emerged victorious, showcasing their determination to protect their reputation.
Meanwhile, Meghan’s decision to leave the Invictus Games early has fueled speculation that she may be avoiding another potential public relations crisis. This comes at a time when the couple is already facing scrutiny, including questions about Harry’s immigration status in the US. The Heritage Foundation has raised concerns over allegations of past drug use, adding another layer of complexity to their ongoing challenges.
Since stepping down as senior royals in 2020, Harry and Meghan have faced relentless public and media scrutiny. Recently, *Vanity Fair* described their life in the US as an “American Hustle,” calling them “the most entitled, disingenuous people on the planet.” The publication also speculated about the possibility of Meghan securing a post-divorce book deal, further fueling rumors about the state of their relationship.
As the Sussexes navigate these turbulent waters, their potential legal battle with Trump could mark another chapter in their ongoing struggle to protect their image and brand. Whether they choose to pursue litigation or address the matter privately, one thing is clear: Harry and Meghan remain determined to stand up for themselves in the face of criticism.
