Meghan Markle has been forced to content with a huge amount of media scrutiny since her marriage to Prince Harry, and now the former Suits actress has been slammed by President Trump.
After she urged people to vote in the upcoming presidential election, Donald Trump said that he's "not a fan" of the 39-year-old.
"I'm not a fan of hers," Trump told reporters at a White House press briefing, per Sky News.
"I would say this - and she has probably has heard that - I wish a lot of luck to Harry because he's going to need it," he added.

Trump's comments come after Markle and Harry appeared to effectively endorse Trump's rival, Joe Biden, in a recent video clip for Time magazine. In the United Kingdom, the Royal Family typically does not vote so as to be shown as demonstrably neutral.
Harry, 36, said: "It's time to not only reflect but act."
"This election I'm not going to be able to vote here in the US, but many of you may not know that I haven't been able to vote in the UK my entire life. As we approach this November, it's vital that we reject hate speech, misinformation, and online negativity."

The Duchess of Sussex also described the November election as "the most important election of our lifetime".
"When we vote, our values are put into action, and our voices are heard," she said.
"Your voice is a reminder that you matter. Because you do and you deserve to be heard."
While neither Harry nor Meghan named Trump or Biden in their video, their comments have been deemed by some as critical toward the current president.
The couple, who married in 2018, recently moved to Los Angeles after stepping down as senior members of the Royal Family, citing unbearable press intrusion and racist attitudes in the UK.
Per Sky News, Buckingham Palace appeared to distance itself from the recent comments made by Prince Harry and Meghan. A spokesman said:
"We would not comment.
"The duke is not a working member of the royal family and any comments he makes are made in a personal capacity."
