The President of the United States started his speech at Windsor Castle by praising the British royal family.

According to The Sun, things took a turn when he commended Charles for raising a “remarkable son”, only referring to Prince William.

“He is going to have an unbelievable success in the future,” he said about the King’s first son.

He also praised the Princess of Wales.

“Melania and I are delighted to visit again with Prince William and to see Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine so radiant and so healthy, so beautiful,” he said.

“It’s really a great honour.”

With no mention of Harry, it seemed to be a subtle swipe at the royal, who is living in the United States with his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children.

In the past, the American leader has expressed his distaste for the Duke of Sussex.

Earlier this year, he told the New York Post he decided not to deport the Prince, after he referenced his illegal drug use in his memoir, Spare.

“I don’t want to do that,” the President said at the time.

“I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.”
