Trump Backs Off Canada, Pulls King Charles Into Politics PLUS Meghan’s “Creepy” Easter Video

Trump Backs Off Canada, Pulls King Charles Into Politics PLUS Meghan’s “Creepy” Easter Video

Author: Caloroga Shark Media / The Daily Royal Family Podcast April 8, 2026 Duration: 10:28
On today’s Palace Intrigue, Donald Trump says he is apparently no longer planning to annex Canada, while still managing to drag King Charles into the conversation. We unpack Trump’s latest comments about Canada as the “51st state,” his warm words for Charles, and why the King keeps getting used as a diplomatic prop in very awkward moments. We also look at a Telegraph piece urging Charles to use his Washington appearance as a strategic intervention, plus Deep Crown’s sharp take on why this trip may be one of the most delicate balancing acts of Charles’s reign.

After the break, Meghan Markle’s Easter Instagram post sparks fresh backlash after one clip of Princess Lilibet leaves some viewers calling it “creepy,” while People notes that both Sussex children appear to have inherited Harry’s very strong Spencer ginger gene.
