POTUS Donald Trump had some interesting words of advice to give to the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle on how to deal with the media and negative press. 

While doing a radio interview on LBC Radio on Thursday, October 31, Trump revealed that he had watched the recent ITV documentary 'Harry & Meghan: An African Journey' about Meghan and her husband Prince Harry.

Trump shared that he thought that Meghan was taking criticism from the press very seriously. 

"I guess you've got to be a little bit different than that but she takes it very personally and I can understand it. But I don’t know her," Trump shared.

He also reflected on his visit to the UK and called it "wonderful". He praised the Duke of Sussex and said, "He's a great young man. The whole family is terrific, it's a great family."

Trump also recalled his meeting with Queen Elizabeth II and called her an "incredible woman". While referring to the state dinner he had attended at the Buckingham Palace, he shared, "I sat next to her, and she was smiling and having a good time and I was smiling and having a good time". 

"It was really a great evening, and I was told that she enjoyed it and I can tell you I enjoyed it," he added.

In ITV's documentary, Meghan was seen fighting back tears when she said, "Look, any woman especially when they are pregnant you’re really vulnerable and so that was made really challenging, and then when you have a newborn..."

"And especially as a woman, it's a lot. So you add this on top of just trying to be a new mom or trying to be a newlywed it’s, well…", she continued.

"And, also thank you for asking, because not many people have asked if I'm OK. But it's a very real thing to be going through behind the scenes," Meghan added.
