Prince Harry called for Donald Trump to be “given a chance” his father-in-law has revealed in his first broadcast interview. Thomas Markle told ITV’s Good Morning Britain that he was angry about something Trump had done when he spoke by phone to Harry for the first time last year.

“I’ve always have a bad attitude about Donald Trump and that’s never going to change,” he said. “My God, I’ve got to apologise to the rest of the world for my president. All Harry actually did was say because Trump was new, he said: ‘Give him a chance.’” Markle speculated that his son-in-law may have since changed his attitude to the president. “I think Harry has probably changed his mind by now – I certainly hope he has,” he said.

Markle’s remarks underline the controversy of Trump’s visit to the UK next month. The prospect of an awkward meeting between Trump and the Queen was delayed after an invitation for an official state visit was postponed. Asked what Harry thought about Brexit, Markle said: “He said he was open to it. He didn’t know one way or another, he was just saying he had to be open to it, and see how it went. That’s pretty much what’s his attitude. This is just conversation between two guys about politics nothing cast in stone, just the way you talk.”(theguardian)…[+]
