Unsure of an invite, Trump wishes Prince Harry, Meghan Markle in advance

January 28, 2018 08:49

US President Donald Trump has said he is not aware of any invitation for him to attend Prince Harry's wedding to Meghan Markle.

In a wide-ranging interview with Piers Morgan, Trump replied 'not that I know of' when asked if he was given an invite.

Harry's nuptials with the American actress have captured the imagination of her compatriots and will be seen to strengthen the bond between the UK and the US.

But Markle has been a vocal critic of former reality star Trump, backing his rival Hillary Clinton and suggesting before the 2016 election she would leave the US if he won.

Asked if he would like to go to the royal wedding in May at Windsor Castle's St George's Chapel, Trump simply said: "I want them to be happy. I really want them to be happy.

"They look like a lovely couple."

When Morgan pointed out she had labelled the billionaire 'divisive' and a 'misogynist', he said: "Well, I still hope they're happy."
