Donald Trump Reveals Unusual Reason for Not Deporting Prince Harry
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has disclosed the surprising reason behind his decision not to deport Prince Harry from the United States.
Prince Harry, 40, moved to California with his wife, Meghan Markle, 43, in 2020, following growing tensions with the British royal family. The couple, parents to Archie and Lilibet, cited concerns over security and privacy as their primary reasons for leaving the UK.
However, Harry’s immigration status has been under scrutiny in Washington, D.C. The Heritage Foundation has argued that he should be ineligible for a U.S. visa due to his past admissions of ille;gal d;ru;g use, as detailed in his memoir Spare. The conservative think tank claims that Harry may have received preferential treatment from the Biden administration.
Despite the controversy, Trump recently told the New York Post that he has no intention of deporting Prince Harry. “I don’t want to do that, I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible,” Trump remarked.
The former president also took the opportunity to praise Prince Harry’s older brother, Prince William, following their private meeting in Paris last December during the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral. “I think William is a great young man,” Trump stated.
The decision to allow Harry to stay in the U.S. is notable, given that both he and Meghan have been vocal critics of Trump’s leadership. Meghan previously labeled Trump as “divisive” and “misogynistic,” while Trump has dismissed Harry as being “whipped” by Meghan, saying, “I think poor Harry is being led around by the nose.”
The debate over Harry’s visa escalated after Heritage sued the Department of Homeland Security, demanding the release of his immigration records. Nile Gardiner, a director at Heritage, emphasized the need for transparency, stating, “Anyone who applies to the United States has to be truthful on their application, and it is not clear that is the case with Prince Harry.”
For now, despite ongoing legal challenges, it appears that Prince Harry’s life in Montecito remains secure.
