Meghan Markle’s blunt reaction to Donald Trump question after bitter war of words

After a year-long argument between the US leader and the Sussexes, Meghan Markle has since been asked about President Donald Trump’s rampage against America.

Meghan Markle has refused to speak out on President Donald Trump’s latest actions, after a years-long war of words between the US leader and the Sussexes.

In an interview on The Circuit YouTube show, host Emily Chang quizzed Meghan, who comes from Los Angeles, about the recent riots between locals and ICE agents, after tough immigration laws came into effect.

Chang recalled Meghan’s interview on The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore in 2016, when the Duchess was still working as an actress before she met Prince Harry, and spoke about her “choice words” she had for Trump at the time.

During the 2016 interview, Meghan called Trump “divisive and misogynistic”, before she explained: “You don’t really want that kind of world.” Emily asked Meghan about the comments, saying: “Are there things you’re dying to say or do right now but you feel like you can’t?”

Meghan responded, “No, I just make a choice based on what I care about and what I care about.” And certainly at a different time in 2016, that year. I believe I would say something if I felt the need to do it, but that’s not where I am at at the moment. Since 2016, which is before I met my husband, I haven’t said anything [political].”

The podcast host continued to push as she continued, “We are living in such a heated time, and it seems like no one is speaking up, because it’s scary to speak up.” What do you think the country is taking now?

Meghan conceded and responded, “I believe the world is currently in a really interesting time.” I just hope that people will be able to keep the values that they consider most important, feel secure, and remember that through it all, we are human.

You simply go back to the fact that we are all human beings and try to connect rather than divide, no matter how divided the world may feel.

The war of words between President Trump and the Sussexes has been going on for several years. When Harry and Meghan moved from Canada to California in 2020 after they fled the UK, there was mounting speculation over who would foot the bill for their private security.

Trump was adamant it would not be the US government. He tweeted in March 2020: “I am a great friend and admirer of the Queen & the United Kingdom. It was reported that Harry and Meghan, who left the Kingdom, would reside permanently in Canada. Now they have left Canada for the U.S. however, the U.S. will not pay for their security protection. They must pay!” It was later clarified that the couple had no intention of asking for security from the government and would foot the bill themselves.

At the conclusion of his first term in office, Trump and Joe Biden squared off in front of a potential reelection challenge. The Sussexes pleaded with Americans to “vote against hate speech” in a video released during the campaign.

Some people claimed it was a violation of the Sandringham Summit agreement, which was written up when the couple left their royal duties in 2020, but the remarks were interpreted as referring to Trump and as an endorsement of Biden. Later, Trump stated that he was “no fan” of Meghan and that he would be grateful for it.

Harry has recently been at the center of a dispute over his visa, which allows him to live in California. A lawsuit brought by the conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation claimed that the US government should release information about the Duke’s US visa application to determine whether his drug use was disclosed after he admitted using marijuana, cocaine, and psychedelic mushrooms in his divisive memoir Spare.

Trump criticized the Biden administration for keeping Harry’s immigration application private in order to “protect Harry” before a decision was reached in the case.

Days later Trump was also challenged on Harry during an interview with Nigel Farage on GB News. Farage asked if there would be any “special privileges” for the prince, and the Republican candidate said: “No. We’ll have to see if they know something about the drugs, and if he lied they’ll have to take appropriate action.”

Trump, however, stated in February that he would not be pursuing Harry because he had “enough problems with his wife” and called her terrible.

In the last few weeks, Trump spoke out about the Royal Family on a trip to Scotland,, with King Charles set to host him on a state visit in the coming weeks.

He added, “Being with Charles, Camilla, and everyone in between, I’ve got to know a lot of the family.” They are excellent individuals. They are incredibly talented people.

He continued, “And in that regard, I think the UK is very lucky, you could have people who weren’t great people.” You might have people who weren’t there, but I’m not sure if I can say that. And some people on social media saw his words as “calling out” Harry and Meghan.

Aussie rocker Sam Wellings, aka Kim Dracula, narrowly avoided death on Monday after their tour bus went up in flames in the US. The singer, 26, endured the terrifying ordeal in Texas after being woken up by their crew, who were “screaming and banging on the door”.

Recalling the heartstopping incident after being forced to cancel their gigs in Texas and Arkansas, Wellings took to Instagram, explaining: “At 6am this morning our bus caught fire while we were sleeping. I was in the back behind a locked door and was woken up by my crew screaming and banging on the door telling me to get off the bus.

We all departed right away, and within 30 seconds, the entire bus was engulfed in flames, starting where I was lying down.

The vehicle had a charred and soot-strewn interior and two fire engines en route to the fire, according to a video that came with the post.

Miraculously, no one on the bus was hurt, but Wellings continued, “Most of us lost all our possessions, including things we needed for the show,” despite the crew’s injuries. We were unable to perform tonight and won’t be able to do so tomorrow.

They explained that the Texas and Arkansas shows had been postponed, adding, “We hope to be back on the road supporting Ice Nine Kills starting in Madison.”

Wellings concluded that they had planned to release the news sooner but were unable to do so because they had lost their phone in the fire.

“My phone went up in the fire, so I was unable to make this post any earlier.” However, everyone on the crew is safe, including myself. We anticipate returning soon.

Wellings from Tasmania in Australia, shot to fame during the pandemic with viral metal remakes on TikTok.

Their uber popular cover of Lady Gaga’s Paparazzi made them the fourth most-followed Australian music artist on the platform in 2020.

The actor has since released their album A Gradual Decline in Morale (2023), appeared on Lin-Manuel Miranda’s concept album Warriors, and previously toured the United States with Hanabie, a Japanese metalcore group.

Exact date Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte returns and how to make them at home from 53p

Here’s how to save money by reproducing a PSL at home. Starbucks has announced the precise date it will be returning its well-known seasonal pumpkin spice lattes for 2025.

Nothing more denotes the return of this season than Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Lattes, even though it may only be August.

The colossal coffee shop has announced that its Pumpkin Spice Lattes (previously known as PSLs) will be available to order starting today, August 26th, for around the £4 mark. These are milky, sweet coffees with added flavors of pumpkin, nutmeg, and cinnamon. However, making your own coffee can make a lot of difference if you want to save money. Here’s how…

A flavored coffee pod is the simplest way to experience this autumnal flavor at home. We adore Grind’s Pumpkin Spice coffee pods, priced at £15.75 for 30 pods, because they are completely compostable at home. You’ll need the best coffee pod machine, of course, because they work with either Grind’s own very stylish-looking model (we reviewed here), but at 53p per pod, it’s a lot less expensive than Starbucks.

If you instead have a Nescafé Dolce Gusto machine at home, you can try something nearer in taste to the original thing with Starbucks’ own Pumpkin Spice Latte Coffee Pods, £4.75 for six at Sainsbury’s, or currently £3.50 if you have a Nectar card – so costing from 58p a drink. Sainsbury’s shoppers are describing these as “perfect for those colder nights, pumpkin and a hint of spice” and “tasty, not too sweet, just the right amount of spices”.

Another simple way to experience PSL at home is by adding a flavored syrup to your regular coffee if you don’t have a coffee pod machine. On Amazon, you can purchase both the well-known brand MONIN Pumpkin Spice Syrup, which costs $ 7.99, and the low-calorie Skinny Food Co Pumpkin Spice Coffee Syrup, which has thousands of five-star reviews.

In your own kitchen, make creamy lattes and cappuccinos with milk frothers if you want to up your barista game even more. The Nespresso Aeroccino3 Milk Frother, which costs $79, has been around for years, and if it still works, this tiny handheld battery-powered milk whisk, costing $58.09, does the same thing.

Podcaster Sam Thompson has announced that he is ‘done’ with reality TV as he switches his focus to other projects.

The former Made in Chelsea star, 33, said that he had reached an age where he felt it was time to stop and concentrate on podcasts and documentaries.

Sam, who won the 2023 edition of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! has been building up a following through the podcast he co-hosts with friend Pete Wicks called ‘Staying Relevant’.

Sam said, “You get to an age when you go, “I’m done,” when it comes to reality TV. You can’t beat that, and the jungle was the perfect place for me to end my time there.

I haven’t taken a vacation in two years. I’d like to take some vacation next year. “Possibly there will be a second documentary coming out soon.”

Whilst documentaries may be on the horizon, for the moment Sam is best known for the podcast he co-hosts with former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Pete Wicks, who has been a supportive friend since Sam’s split from fellow Made in Chelsea star Zara McDermott in January.

In a lie detector test, Pete, 36, admitted he preferred Sam being single over Zara, whom he dated for five years. The lie detector’s operator established that Pete was telling the truth.

Pete has been supportive of Sam, but he has also made fun of him by calling him a “single man with cats”—felines who Sam refers to as “like my sons.”

Speaking to The Standard about his relationship with his podcasting co-host, Sam is honest about their surprise at their success as they prepare for a live recording in front of 20,000 people at London’s O2.

We’re so proud of ourselves for getting there, he said. We can’t believe it’s happening, but it’s crazy. We realized that we were just cracking up when we looked back and saw all the things we had accomplished. We have actually accomplished some things.

Speaking to The Sun about his future plans, Sam doubled down on his desire to slow the pace to ‘consolidate’ what he has at the moment. He said: “Next year, I want to really consolidate and figure out what it is that I want to do, and not just be a yes man.

Kim Kardashian blasted as North, 12, steps out in corset and mini skirt

Fans have criticized Kim Kardashian for allowing her daughter North, 12, to wear a corset and a mini skirt on a day out together.

Kim Kardashian has been criticised for allowing her daughter North, 12, to wear a corset and mini skirt. The family are currently on holiday in Rome, Italy but fans took issue with the not-yet teenager’s outfit.

North was taller than her mother, who wore a stunning black silk dress, and had pigtail-styled blue hair. North was also sporting some chunky boots, a corset, and a very short skirt.

However, enraged fans took to social media to vent their outrage. Why does North appear so grown-up, one wrote? What 12-year-old wears a corset, adds another phrase. Kim is a truly unknowing parent.

This is literally a child, according to a third commentator, who also claimed, “Her and Beyoncé are the same when it comes to how they dress their [children] in public.” She typically wears oversized baggy clothing. A fifth phrase comes to mind: “It’s insane for me to be 12 years old in North.”

North previously opened up about being in the spotlight – and the daughter of former power couple Kim Kardashian and rapper Kanye West. Kim and Kanye are now divorced, and the latter is with Bianca Censori.

When questioned about her preference for being on camera, she responded, “I prefer taking pictures of myself, but I dislike it when paparazzi do.” When I just woke up, I thought, “Yo, I’m going to sue you because there are so many paparazzi.”

I’m like, “Okay, I could take a picture if I’m ready, if I’m not tired, and if my outfit is good. She continued, “I always wanted to pause time when her mother asked if she had a superpower.”

When I was in class last year, I said, “I want to pause time and finish my work, and then I run out of class and go to Starbucks, and then I go around to Japan and then I go everywhere!”

North and Kim shared a joint account on TikTok, where she also showed off her appearance. The rest of the family is spending time in Italy, with North and Kim. With her ex-kanye, Kim also has Saint, nine, and Psalm, six, and Chicago, seven.

She said, “Every time I go to the Met, I love bringing my oldest daughter with me just to see me get ready. All of her aunties are in the hotel, and we’re all getting ready together, so it’s just a fun few days.

She continued, “She’s a big critic, but it’s pretty good, you know, her critiquing,” explaining what her daughter had taught her about fashion. You can be yourself, after all, right?

She’s in a really positive mood, like vibe right now, where it’s just like, “Eye, even if that’s not my style, I’m not going to criticize that because just be you and if you like that then that’s what you should be into. ” She was such a positive force tonight, and I love that energy. “I love that energy.
