Former President Donald Trump raised the possibility of deporting Prince Harry if he failed to disclose his substance abuse during his US visa application.
In an interview with British GB News, Trump warned that the prince’s future in the US could be shaky if he were re-elected.
“We’ll have to see if they know something about the drugs, and if he lied, they’ll have to take appropriate action,” said Trump.
Nigel Farage, a long-time Trump ally, was interviewing the former president under GB News. The former Brexit party leader clarified to Trump if he meant “deportation,” to which the GOP leader replied, “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.”
The former president also blasted that a visa application should not give anyone special treatment, even if it was the Duke of Sussex.
In his memoir, “Spare,” Prince Harry shared his experience with using drugs, including cocaine, marijuana, and magic mushrooms, to which the conservative think tank Heritage Foundation demanded the Department of Homeland Security give access to his immigration records.
When applying for a visa in the US, individuals must admit their histories of drug use, and this could affect their application.
A federal judge ruled in favor of the Heritage Foundation and said that the DHS must turn over Prince Harry’s visa documents so they can be reviewed. DHS lawyers asked for more time to track down the records.
The Duke of Sussex, who recently expressed interest in obtaining American citizenship, has been severely criticized by Trump. The Republican presidential nominee, in an interview with Piers Morgan in 2022, described that the prince was “whipped like no person had ever seen.
Trump also criticized Meghan Markle, Harry’s wife. In 2016, the Duchess of Sussex called out Trump and described him as “divisive” and “misogynistic.” Then-president Trump reacted to Markle’s remarks and called her “nasty.”
Trump also shared his views regarding the recent controversy involving Kate Middleton and Prince William, whose absence from public duty had led to the spread of various rumors. Kate was also in hot water recently after posting a Photoshopped image of her family.
The former president said, “That shouldn’t be a big deal because everyone doctors” images and that “it was a very minor doctoring.”
Meanwhile, if Harry would pursue his plans of applying as a US citizen, US Citizen Immigration Services might require him to give up his royal titles.
