FEATURED STORIES

The Duchess of Sussex’s absence from events during Trump’s visit is because she is still on maternity leave, royal expert Victoria Arbiter told Inside Edition on Wednesday, May 28. Meghan gave birth to her first child with Harry early May.

She previously expressed her disapproval of the American head of state. In 2016, she was critical of Trump when he was then a presidential candidate. At the time, Meghan was based in Toronto as she starred on the TV series “Suits.”

On “The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore,” she said, “As misogynistic as Trump is with his world view and is so vocal about it, you are not just voting for Hillary because she is a woman. You are voting because Trump has made it easy to see you don’t want that kind of world he is painting.”
