Former U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that he will not pursue the deportation of Prince Harry, despite ongoing debates about the Duke of Sussex’s immigration status. Trump remarked that Harry is already facing significant personal challenges, particularly in his marriage to Meghan Markle. He described Meghan as “terrible” and expressed sympathy for Harry’s situation.
This development comes as the conservative Heritage Foundation continues its legal efforts to access Prince Harry’s U.S. visa records. The foundation aims to determine whether Harry was forthcoming about his past drug use, as detailed in his memoir “Spare,” when applying for residency in the United States. They argue that if Harry was not truthful, it could be grounds for deportation.
In his memoir, Harry admitted to experimenting with substances like cocaine, marijuana, and psychedelic mushrooms. These admissions have led to questions about whether he disclosed this information during his visa application process. The Heritage Foundation contends that there is significant public interest in understanding if Harry received any preferential treatment during his immigration process.
Despite these concerns, Trump has stated that he does not intend to take action against Harry. He emphasized that the Duke has “enough problems with his wife” and that he would “leave him alone.” This stance marks a departure from Trump’s previous criticisms of the couple, where he accused them of disrespecting the late Queen Elizabeth II and the Royal Family.
The legal battle over Prince Harry’s immigration status is ongoing. A federal judge is currently considering the release of Harry’s visa records to determine if there were any discrepancies in his application. The outcome of this case could have significant implications for Harry’s residency in the U.S.
As the situation develops, it remains to be seen how these legal challenges will impact Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s life in the United States. For now, Trump’s decision not to pursue deportation provides some respite for the couple amid their ongoing personal and legal battles.
