Donald Trump may not have named names, but many royal watchers believe he took a thinly veiled swipe at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle during a press conference in Scotland.Speaking warmly about his connection to the British Royal Family, Trump said, “Being with Charles, Camilla and everybody… I’ve got to know a lot of the family members. They are great people. They are really great people.” But then came a pointed add-on: “In that sense, I think the UK is very lucky. You could have people that weren’t great people… I don’t know if I can say that, but you could have people that weren’t.”Trump didn’t mention Harry or Meghan by name, but the implication was clear to many online. One social media user wrote, “I love the shade President Trump throws at Prince Harry & Meghan Markle,” while another said they were “sure he was calling them out.”
