President Donald Trump said in an interview with The New York Post, that he will not deport Prince Harry from the US, citing that the royal has "enough problems" with his wife, Meghan Markle, and that she is "terrible."
Harry’s immigration status is the subject of litigation in Washington DC, with the Heritage Foundation alleging that he may have concealed past illegal drug use that should have disqualified him from obtaining a US visa.
Heritage cited Harry’s autobiography “Spare” — in which he admitted to using cocaine, cannabis and psychedelics — when it sued the Department of Homeland Security last year to force the release of his US visa records.
“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,” Heritage’s Nile Gardiner reportedly said.
The conservative think tank suggests Harry was given preferential treatment by the Joe Biden administration after he and Meghan moved to California in 2020 following their acrimonious “Megxit” split from the royal family.
“I don’t want to do that,” he said in The New York Post interview. “I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.”
The Duke of Sussex and his left-wing American wife have voiced disapproval of Trump over the years, including one outburst in which the Duchess called the president “divisive” and “misogynistic.”
Trump praised Harry's older brother, Prince William during the interview, calling him a "great young man."
“I think William is a great young man,” he said.
Trump in turn has described Harry as “whipped” by Meghan. “I think poor Harry is being led around by the nose.”
The US President who has been no fan of the Duchess of Sussex, has previously suggested that Harry could face deportation if it is proven he lied on his visa application.
