Prince Harry might be forced to return the United Kingdom if former President Donald Trump retakes the Oval Office in the upcoming election.
In an interview with the Daily Express US, Trump said that the Duke of Sussex would be “on his own” with immigration issues due to his treatment of the late Queen.
“I wouldn’t protect him. He betrayed the queen,” Trump remarked at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Saturday.
“That’s unforgivable. He would be on his own if it was down to me,” he added.
Thank you President Trump for speaking the truth about Prince Harry.
Trump was furious at Biden administration for “protecting Harry” by keeping his immigration application confidential.

Prince Harry appeared in court on Friday for a lawsuit conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation filed against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) over his visa application.
The legal battle came about after British royal admitted to using various drugs in his 2023 memoir “Spare.”
In the book, he confessed to taking cocaine, which he claimed “didn’t do anything for him,” marijuana, which he said “actually really did help” him, and psychedelic mushrooms.

The Heritage foundation requested that the DHS publicly release the Prince’s immigration documents to determine if he declared his drug use on the application form.
Their request was denied in June. “To the extent records exist, this office does not find a public interest in disclosure sufficient to override the subject’s privacy interests,” DHS senior director Jimmy Wolfrey replied in a letter.
“The Department of Homeland Security’s efforts to stonewall the Heritage Foundation’s Freedom of Information request are unacceptable, and we will be contesting their position,” Heritage Foundation’s Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom Nile Gardiner said at the time.
The Heritage Foundation made good on their threat of a lawsuit, and federal lawyers had to defend that his memoir admission “isn’t sworn testimony or proof.”
“Saying something in a book doesn’t necessarily make it true,” argued DHS attorney John Bardo.
DHS lawyers also claimed that releasing Prince Harry’s visa application would be “an unwarranted invasion” of his privacy.
“The records are particularly sensitive because releasing them, even in part, would reveal Prince Harry’s status in the United States, which Prince Harry has not disclosed,” they said according to The Telegraph.
“Courts consistently hold that a person’s visa or immigration status is private, personal information exempt from disclosure.”
Gardiner pointed out that the Duke of Sussex’s visa application “really matters to Americans,” because it will clarify if certain people “are given any special treatment” when coming into the country and “whether or not the rule of law is applied equally” to all.
“The issue of migration in the United States has become the number one issue in the presidential election,” Gardiner added.
“The American people expect their leader to enforce immigration law strictly and this should apply to anyone entering the US including royals like Prince Harry.”
Trump certainly believes that Prince Harry has received special treatment from the Biden administration, since he and wife Meghan Markle stepped down as working royals and moved to California permanently in 2020.
“I think they have been too gracious to him after what he has done,” he commented.
This isn’t the first time Trump has expressed his distaste for the royal couple over their treatment of the late Queen.
“I became very friendly with the Queen. She was an incredible woman,” he remarked during a radio interview with Hugh Hewitt in September.
“At 95, she was so sharp. She was 100%,” he said, sneaking in a jab at Biden. “When you watch Biden, you say this is a different planet.”
“They treated her with great disrespect and I didn’t like it,” he added about the Sussex’s.
Trump also didn’t like “the idea” that they were given U.S. security details when they came to the country.
In the same interview, he said he would “love” to debate the Duchess of Sussex, who had referred to him as “divisive” and “misogynistic” during his 2016 campaign.
“If you want to set it up, let’s set it up,” he told Hewitt. “Let’s go do something, I’d love to debate her. I would love it.”
