On May 1, 2026, President Donald Trump candidly shared his thoughts on the British royal family. As King Charles and Queen Camilla concluded their four-day visit to the United States, the former reality TV star offered his opinions on several senior royals, including William, Prince of Wales, and his wife, Catherine, as well as Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, who have since stepped away from their royal duties to start anew in the U.S.
In a conversation with Robert Hardman of the Daily Mail, President Trump reiterated his admiration for King Charles. He remarked, “He’s a great guy, he really is,” underscoring his favorable view of the monarch.

Further expressing his thoughts on the royal family, Trump commented on William, the heir apparent to the throne. He noted, “William, he’ll be a good King, won’t he? He’s very nice. A great guy. I like him.” This indicates Trump’s positive perception of the Prince of Wales and his potential future as a monarch.
During an interview with Robert Hardman for the Daily Mail newspaper, President Trump doubled down on his previously expressed admiration for King Charles, saying: “He’s a great guy, he really is.”
He went on to add of William, Prince of Wales, who is heir to the throne, saying: “William, he’ll be a good King, won’t he? He’s very nice. A great guy. I like him.’”
Trump added of Catherine, who is recovering after a battle with cancer: “How’s she doing? She’s so great. She was sick, people said crazy things about her and she was so brave.”
However, Trump was less flattering about William’s younger brother Harry, Duke of Sussex and his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, asking the reporter: “So can Harry make a comeback?”
When told it would be highly unlikely for Harry to return to royal duties, Trump added: “Too many things, I guess. That wife of his. Boy, what she’s done to that guy … I guess she got blocked out by William’s wife.”
President Trump was full of praise for King Charles and Queen Camilla after hosting them during their trip to the US this week.

After concluding the trip, King Charles and Queen Camilla shared their thanks in a statement posted on social media which read: “Farewell and thank you for the warmth of your welcome and the kind support you gave us throughout our first visit to the US as King and Queen, in this, your special anniversary year.
“We leave a piece of our [heart] behind and take a little of yours back home with us. Until the next time … God Bless America.”
