What Trump’s presidency could mean for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

A royal risk.

Long before Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election, he was vocal about Prince Harry’s move to the US.

Trump, 78, has gone on record saying he’d consider deporting Harry, 40, because of drama over the Duke of Sussex’s US visa.

Harry is currently in a legal battle involving his immigration status. He admitted he took illegal drugs (cocaine, cannabis and psychedelic mushrooms) in his memoir “Spare,” which would be grounds for his visa application to be rejected.

The father of two and his wife, Meghan Markle, have been living in California since they quit their royal duties in the UK in 2020. Meghan, 43, is a US citizen, while Harry has been fighting to become one.

The Heritage Foundation conservative think tank has sought Harry’s visa records, arguing that the second son of King Charles III and the late Princess Diana could not have legally entered the US due to his drug use.

In “Spare,” Harry wrote that cocaine “didn’t do anything for me,” but “marijuana is different, that actually really did help me.”

A judge has since ruled that Harry’s visa application is to remain private — making Trump’s mission to deport the duke a harder feat.

Trump first threatened to throw Harry out of the country in February while speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Oxon Hill, Md.

“I wouldn’t protect him. He betrayed the Queen. That’s unforgivable. He would be on his own,” the 45th president said.

Trump always spoke fondly of the late monarch, calling her an “incredible woman” in 2018. “If you think of it, for so many years she has represented her country, she has really never made a mistake. You don’t see, like, anything embarrassing,” he told UK’s The Sun before meeting her at the time. “My wife [Melania Trump] is a tremendous fan of hers. She has got a great and beautiful grace about her.”

Trump has also criticized Joe Biden’s administration for being “too gracious” to the Sussexes ever since Harry and Meghan fled to America.

In March, Trump told GB News presenter Nigel Farage that Harry should not have “special privileges” if it’s discovered he lied on his visa application.

“We’ll have to see if they know something about the drugs, and if he lied, they’ll have to take appropriate action,” the Republican said.

When pressed on whether “appropriate action” might mean deportation, Trump responded: “Oh, I don’t know. You’ll have to tell me. You just have to tell me. You would have thought they would have known this a long time ago.”

Trump’s son, Eric Trump, weighed in on the drama with Harry in August, saying he’d be happy to see the Sussexes be sent out of America.

“You can have them back over here, but I’m not sure if you want them anymore,” added Eric, 40. “We might not want them anymore, it feels like they’re on an island of their own.”

Last month, Eric told the Daily Mail the US doesn’t “give a damn” about Harry and Meghan.

However, Eric claimed his dad wouldn’t deport Harry because of the visa discrepancies.

“I don’t give a damn if he did drugs. It means nothing,” he explained. “I can tell you that our father and our entire family has tremendous respect for the monarchy.”

Trump has also had beef with the former “Suits” actress.

He said in May 2023 that Meghan was “very disrespectful” to the late Queen Elizabeth II, who died in November 2022 at age 96.
