Meghan Markle criticized Trump during his 2016 election campaign as divisive and misogynistic.

Last year, Trump, responded on Meghan’s criticism, said: “I didn’t know that. What can I say? I didn’t know that she was nasty.” Trump also wished her well in her new life as a British royal.

The royal couple surprised everyone in early January with an announcement they would be stepping down from their roles as senior royals, in order to gain freedom from the intense media scrutiny that has followed them for several years.
