Former US president Donald Trump has called for the Queen to strip the Duke and Duchess of Sussex of their titles. In an explosive interview with Piers Morgan to be screened tonight, Mr Trump thinks Meghan might ditch her husband 'for some other guy.'
He told the presenter's new TalkTV show Piers Morgan Uncensored that he thinks Harry and Meghan's relationship would 'end badly.' Mr Trump also said it was "terrible" that Harry missed the Duke of Edinburgh's memorial service, reports the Press Association.
Harry was absent when the royal family gathered in remembrance of Philip in March. But he travelled with Meghan to see his grandmother the Queen for the first time in two years this month on his way to the Invictus Games in The Hague.

Mr Trump, who first met the Queen for tea at Windsor in 2018, said of Harry and Meghan's 'Megxit' saga: "The only thing I disagree with the Queen on probably one of the only things ever is that I think she should have said, 'if that's your choice, fine. But you no longer have titles', you know."
The American billionaire added: "I want to know what's going to happen when Harry decides he's had enough of being bossed around. Or maybe when she decides that she likes some other guy better. I want to know what's going to happen when it ends, okay."
He suggested: "I predicted almost everything. It'll end and it'll end bad." The Queen awarded her grandson the dukedom of Sussex on the morning of his wedding. Peerages can only be removed by an act of Parliament, although there are also limited circumstances in which hereditary peerages can be renounced by the holder.
Sixth in line to the throne Harry and former Suits actress Meghan could be asked by the monarch to stop using their Sussex titles, although they would still technically retain them. Harry, a prince from birth, would become Prince Henry (Harry) of Wales.
Meghan would be Princess Henry (Harry) of Wales as she is not a princess in her own right. After they quit the working monarchy, Harry and Meghan agreed to stop using their HRH styles.
Mr Trump's comments came in a pre-recorded interview with Mr Morgan at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida. Piers sensationally quit Good Morning Britain just over a year ago.
The 57-year-old presenter teased that it is the 'most explosive interview of the year' as he gave his followers a brief glimpse at what is to come. A 30-second advert showed Piers and Mr Trump’s clash over claims that the last US election was rigged.
The brief clip then appeared to show his guest storming off camera, turning the tables on Piers whose own walk-out on GMB back in March 2021 over a heated row about Meghan went viral before ultimately leading to his permanent exit.
Piers was Mr Trump's first Celebrity Apprentice winner on the 2008 series. But the usual cheery greeting he was used to was suddenly replaced with "What the f*** IS this?’," according to Piers.
Mr Trump has denied that he walked out of the interview in a statement, claiming the clip was "deceptively edited." Piers quickly hitting back on Twitter, writing: "Morning, Mr President! It was a great interview, thanks for all your time.
"Sorry you got so annoyed that I don’t believe the 2020 election was rigged or stolen from you, but as I said, where’s your proof? If you have it, show us - or accept the result and move on." Piers Morgan Uncensored is on TalkTV at 8pm Monday to Friday (Sky 526, Virgin Media 627, Freeview 237, and Freesat 217).
