MEGHAN Markle could seek revenge after Donald Trump slammed her as “terrible”, an expert has warned.
Ingrid Seward described the US President’s remarks about the duchess as “incredibly hurtful”, despite admitting many would agree with him.
It comes as Meghan and husband Prince Harry have been snapped in attendance at the Invictus Games in Vancouver this week – with the duchess accused of show stealing.
Trump – who returned to the White House last month – ruled out deporting Prince Harry as he believes “he’s got enough problems with his wife”.
Harry’s immigration status is the subject of litigation.
The Heritage Foundation allege he may have a hidden past illegal drug use that would usually disqualify someone from obtaining a US visa.
Meghan and Harry moved to California after stepping down as working royals in 2020.
The president told The New York Post, however, that he had no intention of chucking Harry out the country – because he’s got enough on his plate with Meghan.
Slamming the Duchess of Sussex, Trump said: “I don’t want to do that.
“I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.”
Speaking to The Sun, royal author Ms Seward admitted: “I think that a huge number of people were probably smirking and agreeing with Donald Trump.”
She explained that the Sussexes “operate” from California, which is “very Democratic”, meaning Republican Trump’s remarks will have had an extra sting.
“It was an incredibly hurtful thing to say, terrible,” she continued.
“I know what he meant and we possibly all agree with him, but to say it publicly like that is very hurtful.
“I wonder if Meghan and Harry might have some come back for that, legally.”
Ms Seward added: “Hopefully, they don’t bother and take it on the chin or make it a joke.
“But it was hurtful, but for those of us who aren’t so crazy about Meghan, it was funny. But it was a bit sad, I think.”
Ms Seward also described her “interferences” in Vancouver as simply not needed, considering the tournament is founder Harry’s event.
She said: “I thought it was unnecessary of Meghan to interfere with what is essentially Harry’s baby. She knows that.
“He really doesn’t need her. When Harry first launched the Invictus Games in London, he was launching it in front of his dad, his stepmum, and his brother.
“He doesn’t need Meghan there to introduce him. I thought it was really wrong and kind of detracted from what he was trying to do.”
MEGHAN’S AVERSION TO TRUMP
Meghan has not hid her aversion for Trump in the past, having dubbed him “divisive” and “misogynistic”.
The president also called Harry “whipped,” and believes the Prince is “being led around by the nose”.
Trump went on to praise Harry’s estranged brother Prince William, who he held a private meeting with in Paris in December during the reopening ceremony of the Notre-Dame Cathedral.
The Duke of Sussex’s US visa application fight returned to court last week for the first time since Trump returned to power.
US judge Carl Nichols previously ruled in September last year that the public did not have strong interest in the sharing of the prince’s immigration records.
Judge Nichols agreed to re-open the case and ordered lawyers for all parties to appear in court for a “motion for relief from judgement” hearing in the US capital last Wednesday.
The Sun has approached the Sussexes’ representative for comment.
