During the gathering at Windsor Castle, Donald Trump gushed over King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Prince William and Kate Middleton while making no mention of Prince Harry.
"This is truly one of the highest honors of my life. I have such respect for you and such respect for your country for many decades," the Republican leader said about visiting with The Firm.
Donald noted what a "remarkable son" the current Prince of Wales is, adding how the leader of England "uplifted the poor, cared for rural farmers and tended to wounded veterans like nobody else."
The Apprentice alum raved that William is "going to have an unbelievable success in the future" when he takes over for his father as king.
"Melania [Trump] 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. It's really a great honor," Donald added of the Princess of Wales, who is now cancer-free. "We had a very sick country one year ago. And today I believe we're the hottest country anywhere in the world. Together we've done more good for humanity than any two countries in all of history."

King Charles III also made zero mention of Prince Harry. Instead, he touched upon England's long-standing relationship with the United States.
"In two world wars, we fought together to defeat the forces of tyranny," the 76-year-old said. "Today, as tyranny once again threatens Europe, we and our allies stand together in support of Ukraine, to deter aggression and secure peace."
While Charles steered away from mentioning his children in his latest state dinner speech when hosting French President
Emmanuel Macron in July, he made an effort to
gush over Prince William.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump has always made it clear he's not a fan of Prince Harry and his spouse,
Meghan Markle, after they left their royal duties and moved to America in 2020. When questioned on whether or not he would consider deporting the
Spare author back to the U.K., he told the press, "I don't want to do that."
"I'll leave him alone. He's got enough problems with his wife. She's terrible," he
continued. "I think poor Harry is being led around by the nose."
