King Charles and Queen Camilla were in Washington, D.C. in late April for their state visit to the U.S. And now it’s being reported that while that was going on, someone more than 2,000 miles away from the White House was disgusted watching the king and President Donald Trump smiling and laughing together in videos and photo ops.

Prince Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle, was said to be upset over the whole thing. That’s because President Trump has taken public shots at the Sussexes, and even though they are estranged from the royal family, Harry is still the king’s son, so it’s difficult for them to see the monarch act so chummy with someone who made cruel jibes about them.

A source told Closer, “Of course, it’s tough for Harry to sit on the sidelines while his dad breaks bread with someone who seems to want to have him and his wife thrown out of the country. And the fact that he’s not getting the same level of attention from Charles that Trump is only makes it worse. Harry is biting his tongue because he knows reacting will only stir up more trouble, but it’s been very difficult, especially because Meghan does not want to give Charles a pass on this.”

The source added that in [Meghan’s] view “this is exactly the kind of situation where Harry should be standing his ground, not making excuses for his father. Meghan is fuming and saying it sends the wrong message.

“She’s taking it very personally and doesn’t understand how Harry can simply sit back and try to explain this away. But his stance is that they need to keep their eyes on the prize and not do anything that could jeopardize their long-term goal of rebuilding their relationship with his family.”
