“I never called Meghan Markle ‘nasty’,” he tweeted on Sunday, adding: “Made up by the Fake News Media, and they got caught cold!”
Mr Trump made his remarks about the duchess in a Sun newspaper interview ahead of his state visit to the UK.
The US former actress has been a vocal critic of Mr Trump. She supported his Democratic challenger, Hillary Clinton, in the 2016 election and has referred to him as “divisive” and a “misogynist”.
Told of her comments during his interview with the Sun, President Trump said it was the first time he had heard them.
“I didn’t know that. What can I say? I didn’t know that she was nasty,” he said.
He went on to say that he was glad she had joined the royal family and he believed she would make a “very good” princess.
“It is nice, and I am sure she will do excellently,” he said. (BBC)
