Donald Trump sat down for a world-exclusive interview with GB News host Nigel Farage

Donald Trump has slammed Prince Harry's "great disrespect" towards the late Queen Elizabeth and claimed that he "broke her heart."

The former president of the United States spoke to Nigel Farage in an exclusive interview where he revealed his feelings towards the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.


The late Queen and Trump had a close relationship, and in the past the Republican has spoken about how much he cherished the bond that he shared with the former British monarch.

The Duke of Sussex moved to America with his wife Meghan Markle in January 2020. He has since done varying interviews where he criticised the Royal Family heavily and released his memoir Spare, in which he admitted to having taken psychedelic drugs and cocaine.

This has caused an uproar in the US and could threaten Harry's US immigration status.

Speaking to Nigel Farage, Donald Trump said: "I think there was great disrespect, done to a person that I got to know and like very well.

"The Queen, she was unbelievable. Remember, I was supposed to be with her for 10 to 15 minutes and we ended up being together for two hours.

He explained: "I thought she was treated very disrespectfully by them. Although, she wouldn't show it because she was strong and smart.

"I would imagine they broke her heart. The things that they were saying were so bad and so horrible. She was in her 90s and hearing this stuff, I think they broke her heart. I think they really hurt her."

The former president added: "I thought they [Harry and Meghan] were very disrespectful to the family.

"I'm a big fan of the concept of the Royal Family, I'm a little prejudiced because I thought the Queen was incredible.

"I mean, think of it all those years, 75 years. She's almost never made a mistake."

"It was a very interesting thing. So when I was with her it turned out to be a real relationship, somehow we just got along .

"She said it to people and I say it to people. I asked her 'who is your favorite Prime Minister?' [she would respond] Oh, I liked them all. They were all wonderful weren't they? .

"I said, yes but did you like Winston Churchill the best? [She said] Oh, he was lovely. But no, I liked every one of them. I liked them all.

"I couldn't get her to say her favourite, I tried but I couldn't. Then I said who was your favorite president? [she said] Honestly, I liked them all so much. They were also wonderful. I said but didn't you like Ronald Reagan the best?

"No, I thought he was wonderful. But I liked them all. I got along with everyone.

"I then realised this was genius. Because I didn't walk out saying she liked this one, she liked that one. She liked them all. She was unbelievable.

"Then you see the people, the lightweights, that we have to watch today. She went through years and years, decades and decades without making a mistake."
