Harry Potter author JK Rowling trolled United States President Donald Trump by comparing his 2017 presidential inauguration crowd size to aerial photographs of people gathered to watch the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in London on Saturday.
On Saturday, during the highly-anticipated wedding, Rowling tweeted a picture of the Windsor wedding crowd and placed it beside a photo of the crowd at Donald Trump’s inauguration in Washington D.C.
Rowling tweeted the image and wrote: ‘Love > Hate.’

The insinuation behind her tweet was that far more people gathered to watch the royal couple wed than see Trump take the Oath of Office.
The diamond tiara and a sleek dress
Prince Harry and his actress bride Meghan Markle married on Saturday in a dazzling ceremony that blended ancient English ritual with African American culture, infusing the 1,000-year-old British monarchy with a blast of modernity.
In a medieval chapel at Windsor Castle that 39 English kings and queens have called home since 1066, Harry and Meghan exchanged vows watched up close by royals and celebrities, and from afar by a global TV audience of many millions.
Wearing a veil, diamond tiara and a sleek dress with a long train, the American actress was accompanied up the aisle of St George's Chapel by Harry's father, Prince Charles, before she and Harry exchanged vows and were proclaimed husband and wife.
The couple kissed on the steps of the 15th Century chapel, before delighting the sea of well-wishers, some of whom had camped for days to witness the spectacular show of British pomp and pageantry, by touring Windsor in a horse-drawn carriage.
The union of Harry, 33, a former royal wild child and sixth-in-line to the British throne, and 36-year-old Meghan, a divorcee whose mother is African-American and father is white, was like no other the royal family has seen before.
"We can break the barriers down, it can be done," said 40-year-old black Briton Yvonne Emanuel, one of the 100,000-strong crowd that thronged Windsor's streets.
The ceremony was typical of royal weddings in many ways. The service was conducted by the Dean of Windsor while Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, declared the couple man and wife, beneath the banners of the knights of the Order of the Garter, the world's oldest chivalric group dating back to 1348.
The newlyweds will also be officially known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex after Queen Elizabeth bestowed those titles on them.
