We can all agree that one bright spot in an otherwise, um, challenging year was the engagement of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. When, after many months of speculation, news of their impending wedding broke in late November, a wave of people took to Twitter to send the lovebirds their happiest well-wishes. A second wave came this past week, when they announced their wedding date (May 19, 2018; set an alert now).

First Daughter and “assistant to the President” Ivanka Trump was among those who wanted to tweet their congratulations. In the first part of a two-part tweet, Trump wrote that she was “Wishing Meghan and Prince Harry a lifetime of love, laughter and happiness together.” Then she followed it up with, “I have no doubt that this couple will do extraordinary things, both individually and collectively. Congratulations!”

Love or not-so-much-love Ivanka, her message to Meghan and Harry is pretty innocuous. Thoughtful even. And she’s right: Both Meghan and Harry will likely rack up a few accomplishments as a married couple. They already have, after all, and show no signs of stopping now that they’re getting hitched.

But when Twitter spotted her message, it went off.

It appears that many people read what Trump wrote and inferred that something more was going on. Mostly, they wondered whether her kind words were just a savvy way to angle for an invite to the royal wedding. As you might have guessed, they were not kind with their accusations.

(In case you don’t remember, Trump and her husband Jared Kushner once made a cameo on Gossip Girl back in the day, hence the relevance of the above GIF.)

We don’t know if Ivanka will get an invitation, but it’s kind of hasty of Twitter to jump all over her and surmise some nefarious intent from an otherwise nice message—even if you’re not her biggest fan. What we do know, however is how Price Harry proposed to Markle; that the cake is going to be banana flavored; and that Markle is planning to focus on charity work after the wedding. We’re just counting down the days now until the actual wedding.
