Even as Meghan Markle elected to sit out the Trump family’s impending state visit to the United Kingdom, leave it to Donald Trump to stir things up regardless. Our infamously attention-seeking president couldn’t resist hitting back at the Duchess of Sussex’s 2016 criticism, adding “I didn’t know that she was nasty.”

It was prior to the election in 2016 that the former Suits star appeared on The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore, saying, “Yes, of course, Trump is divisive. Think about female voters alone, right? I think it was in 2012 the Republican Party lost the female vote by 12 points … That is a huge number, and with as misogynistic as Trump is, and so vocal about it, that is a huge chunk of it.”

Trump apparently hadn’t heard the now-royal Markle’s words before now, when an interview with The Sun brought them up. “I didn’t know that,” Trump reportedly stated. “What can I say? I didn’t know that she was nasty.”

All the same, Trump was apparently unaware Markle would sit out the upcoming three-day visit, owing to maternity leave with new baby, Archie Harrison. “I didn’t know that. I hope she is O.K.,” the president added, simplistically noting that Markle has become “a very good” American princess. “It is nice, and I am sure she will do excellently. She will be very good. I hope she does [succeed].”

The visit will begin Monday, June 3 and end on Wednesday, June 5. It is said to feature Trump and First Lady Melania Trump getting a Buckingham Palace welcome in London by Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles, and his wife, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, before the Queen hosts a private lunch. The first day will also feature Markle’s husband, Prince Harry, joining lunch with Trump and Melania.

It’s unlikely we’ll hear Markle or any royals acknowledging Trump’s comment, given the crown’s policy on political etiquette. If and when Trump ever does meet the Duchess of Sussex however, the inevitable foot-in-mouth countdown must begin.
