Prince Harry appeared to make yet another subtle dig at President Donald Trump during a recent public appearance.
The Duke of Sussex isn't one to shy away from making his feelings clear on the newly sworn-in president, with him having made a passive comment at the Invictus Games earlier this month.
For those in need of a quick recap, it wasn’t too long ago that President Trump took a swipe at Meghan Markle when telling the press he wasn’t interested in sending the Duke of Sussex back to the UK after being asked about deporting the former royals.
After The Heritage Foundation brought Prince Harry's immigration into question - with him now residing in California with his wife and their two children - claiming that he may have lied on his visa application about his past with illegal drugs, it led to some people to ask for his immigration files to be made public.

Speaking to the New York Post, Trump said: “I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.”
This comes after Harry admitted he that he had previously taken drugs in his 2023 memoir Spare, in which he revealed that he had taken cocaine, cannabis and psychedelic mushrooms.
Well, at the Invictus Games, Harry said in a seeming clap back at Vancouver's BC Stadium: “At this moment, when there is no shortage of crises, no absence of uncertainty, no lack of weak moral character in the world, the values you embody, the way you carry yourselves – not only at the Invictus Games, but each and every day – your courage, your resilience, your humanity, illuminate a path forward for us all.”

Many were quick to assume that the 'weak moral character' quote was a jibe at Trump, and now, Harry has gone and done it again.
The former royal attended the Upfront Summit in Los Angeles on Thursday (27 February), and during his appearance he revealed he had been investing for the last five years in business that served the community to promote positive changes.
He seemed to use his speech to hint at an ongoing criticism of Trump and his administration, referencing the ‘detrimental effect’ on billions of people when 'basic morals and empathy are abandoned in favour of power and control'.

He said: "Now this would be a great time to talk about how a sickness in leadership across sectors—from politics to tech—can have a detrimental effect on millions, if not billions, of people.
"When service to others is sacrificed for personal gain. When basic morals and empathy are abandoned in favor of power and control. But I’m not gonna get into all that now!"
In the first six weeks of Trump’s second term, more than 20,000 federal workers, including military veterans, lost their jobs and foreign aid payments were frozen.

The President also shut down all the offices for diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programmes within the federal government, which were set up to help women, workers with disabilities and members of the LGBTQIA+ community find more jobs.
Harry’s comments come after his father, King Charles, offered Trump an ‘unprecedented’ second invite for a UK state visit. Second-term presidents don’t usually receive such offers and Trump already visited the UK for a state visit in 2019.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer presented Trump with the invitation during a meeting in the Oval Office this week.
