President Donald Trump has ruled out deporting Prince Harry from the US, saying the royal already has ‘enough problems’ with his wife, Meghan.
The Duke of Sussex, who has been battling questions over his US visa application and past drug use, has been let off the hook after Trump dismissed the idea of deporting him.
Speaking to the New York Post, President Trump made his stance crystal clear:
“I don’t want to do that. I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.”
OUCH! That’s a brutal blow for Meghan – straight from The Donald himself!
A DRAMATIC U-TURN?
Trump’s comments mark a major shift from his earlier stance, when he warned that Harry would get no support from the White House if he returned to power.
Previously, Trump had said:
“I wouldn’t protect him. He betrayed the Queen. That’s unforgivable. He would be on his own if it was down to me.”
But it seems the President now thinks Harry has enough to deal with at home – and Meghan’s name wasn’t exactly on his favourites list.
HARRY’S VISA NIGHTMARE
Prince Harry has been locked in a legal battle over whether he lied on his US visa application after admitting to cocaine, cannabis, and magic mushroom use in his book Spare.
The Heritage Foundation, a powerful US conservative think tank, has been fighting to get his immigration records released, arguing that he may have been given special treatment.
The US Department for Homeland Security rejected their Freedom of Information request, but a judge has reopened the case, meaning Harry’s visa drama is far from over!
A FROSTY HISTORY WITH MEGHAN
There’s no love lost between Trump and the Sussexes. Before she married Harry, Meghan slammed Trump as “misogynistic” and “divisive”. Ahead of the 2020 US election, she and Harry released a video urging Americans to reject “hate speech and misinformation”, widely seen as a swipe at Trump. But Trump hit back, saying he was “no fan” of Meghan – and he’s made his feelings even clearer now!
While Harry’s visa troubles rumble on, the Sussexes have landed in Vancouver for the Invictus Games, staying in one of the city’s most expensive hotels.
At a behind-closed-doors reception, Meghan gushed over her husband, calling the wounded veterans at the event “his family”.
“You are his family, just as we are his family, and I hope you recognise how much of his heart he has poured into every single thing that has gotten all of you to this week.”
TRUMP AND THE ROYALS: A SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP?
Trump may have no time for Harry and Meghan, but his admiration for the rest of the Royal Family is no secret.
- He’s tipped to become the first elected US politician to enjoy two state visits to Britain and his recent private meeting with Prince William in Paris was hailed as a diplomatic coup.
With Keir Starmer now in No.10 and President Trump no fan of him, diplomatic ties with the Royal Family might just be Britain’s best bet for maintaining a strong relationship with the White House. Trump has never hidden his admiration for the monarchy, and with William and Charles both seen as key allies, their influence could be crucial in keeping US-UK relations on solid ground.
Trump’s fondness for Britain was on full display recently when he proudly showed reporters photos of his last state visit, gushing over his warm reception by the late Queen and the grandeur of Buckingham Palace. He reminisced about his meetings with the Royal Family, calling them “really great people” and reaffirming his deep respect for Britain.
While Trump may have little patience for Starmer, his love for the UK remains as strong as ever. And if the Labour leader wants to stay in Trump’s good books, perhaps a little more Royal charm wouldn’t go amiss!
