Donald Trump says he's 'happy' Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the US in brutal admission
Donald Trump has given his verdict on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle returning to the UK after they announced they were going to leave the US.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced their move back to the UK recently where they plan to be non-working royals and live in a private residence rather than one of the family homes.
They're coming back for an 'extended period' and their children Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, have been enrolled in school to start the new academic year this month.
King Charles is meant to be happy to see more of his son and have the chance to see his grandchildren more, while US President Donald Trump made it clear he's glad they're going.

Asked about it while at the White House, Trump said he was 'happy' to see them gone and said he 'would not have taken them back' if he was in charge of the royal family.
"I’m happy about it. I was not a fan," Trump said in response to a question about the couple, before going on to talk about how much he liked Harry's dad and stepmum.
"I had a very good relationship with the Queen. Really good. I got to know her very well. A really good relationship with King Charles. I knew him as Prince Charles and King Charles.
"I’ve known him for a long time. He’s great, great guy.
"And I thought they treated the royal family with great disrespect. I didn’t like it. I didn’t like the way she acted. I thought she was terribly disrespectful to the Queen, to King Charles.
"I wouldn’t have taken them back. If I were in the royal family I would not have taken him back."
Last year Harry had said he was worried it wouldn't be safe for him to bring his family over to the UK and he couldn't 'see a world' where that could happen.
He also said that while he'd moved to the US for several years the UK was still his home and he loves it.
Since they announced their return various rumours have swirled around the family over what they'll do while back in Britain, as Meghan has been linked with a return to acting but there's been nothing concrete just yet.
There have been many theories posited as to why they've decided to move back to the UK now, with it being suggested Harry missed the UK and wanted his kids to spend some of their time growing up in his home country.
