Donald Trump reveals meeting with ‘tough cookie’ Prince Philip and says he can’t believe Harry snubbed memorial service
DONALD Trump revealed he enjoyed an incredible meeting with Prince Philip while slamming Prince Harry for missing his grandfather’s memorial service.
In his world exclusive interview with Piers Morgan, the ex-President told of his encounter with the late Duke of Edinburgh who he called a “tough cookie.”
And the brash billionaire said it was “terrible” that Harry had been the only senior Royal to swerve the poignant ceremony to mark first anniversary of his grandad’s death.
Piers Morgan: When I heard he wasn’t going to Prince Philip’s memorial…
Donald Trump: Terrible…
PM: I couldn’t believe that he would not go to that. He was at the Super Bowl. He was at a Texas rodeo. But he couldn’t find time to get on a plane.

DT: It was a terrible thing, many terrible things that might have been, as you mentioned, that, that might have been the worst of all, because he was, you know, like her.
He was a tough cookie, too. I remember years ago, Prince Philip came to New York, and we were in the Plaza Hotel. And there were many people wanting to meet him.
And we were all taking a picture with him. Many people and the photographers said, I’ll never forget this. He was tough.
The photographer said, please move back there were like 30 of us.
And he said, ‘No, you move back’. And that was simple. I said, that’s pretty good. You know, this guy’s tough.

PM: When he died. I think it was a devastating moment for the Queen.
DT: I think they had a great relationship. But he was a strong guy and never forget a little moment, right? And he just said, ‘No, you move back’. And he didn’t say it in a nice way. Because the photographer was pushing everybody around a little bit foolishly.
But I thought it was terrible when Harry didn’t go to the memorial of Prince Philip. Yeah, I think the Harry situation is going to unfold in a much different way.

PM: If you were the Queen, is it at the stage now, would you remove their royal titles?
DT: I would. 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, and frankly, don’t come around where you’re just, because her loyalty is to the country. She said that many times.

Her loyalty is to the country. And I think that he has been so disrespectful to the country, and it’s a great country. I own a lot of things there. I own a place called Turnberry and in Aberdeen I own and, I mean we have Aberdeen is beautiful the oil capital of Europe and I own things there and I love that country.
It’s incredible, in Scotland, I love Turnberry, I love what I did there. I built things there.
