“Well, I still hope they’re happy.”

Actress and soon-to-be-royal Meghan had publicly backed democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. She had even gone on to suggest that she would be leaving the country if Trump won. Well, she’s set to do that all right. Meghan had made the comment on TheNightly Show with Larry Wilmore in May, 2016.
“It’s really the moment that I go, we film Suits in Toronto and I might just stay in Canada.
“Yes of course Trump is divisive. Think about just female voters alone.
“I think it was in 2012, the Republican Party lost the female vote by 12 points. That’s a huge number and with as misogynistic as Trump is and so vocal about it, that’s a huge chunk of it.”
Prince Harry is also understood to be critical of Trump, but hasn’t made his comments public. The royal is well known to have a cordial relationship with President Obama. Prince Harry and Markle are afraid of the political consequences that could come along with inviting the Obamas, but not the Trumps to their wedding, Us Weekly Magazine reports.
The couple were asked this question back in December. Prince Harry avoided the question, where as Markle said that they hadn’t yet decided on the invitations list.
“We haven’t put the invites or the guest list together yet, so who knows whether he’s going to be invited or not. I wouldn’t want to ruin that surprise.”
