Eric Trump likened Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to “spoiled apples” in a British television interview, where he added the US “might not want them anymore.”
The 40-year-old scion’s comments to GB News come months after his father, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, indicated Harry’s admissions of past drug use could be considered in reviewing his US visa.
In the interview broadcast Sunday, Eric Trump honored the British monarch while painting Harry and Meghan as ingrates who rebuffed tradition when they rejected their roles in that “sacred institution” by moving to California in 2020.
“You can happily have those two,” he said. “We might not want them anymore. It feels like they’re on an island of their own.”
According to Eric Trump, no enterprise is without its outliers.

He compared them to 'spoiled apples.'
“You can have spoiled apples in every orchard,” he said, possibly referencing Meghan’s lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard.
Donald Trump hinted in March that he’d be open to looking into whether the 39-year-old Duke of Sussex lied about having used drugs on his visa application, which could compromise his status in the US. Harry confessed in his 2023 memoir Spare to having experimented with cocaine, cannabis, and psychedelic mushrooms.
Donald Trump doesn't appear to be a fan of the couple.
The former president boasts of having a long-running relationship with Great Britain’s royal family but has been less than welcoming toward Prince Harry’s family. He went out of his way in 2020 to say the US wouldn’t provide them with security under his presidency and challenged Meghan to a “debate” in 2023.
