During an interview with Nigel Farage on GB News, Donald Trump made headlines by threatening to deport Prince Harry from the United States if he were to win the presidential election later this year.
The discussion stemmed from Harry's ongoing court battle concerning his US Visa application. This legal saga was triggered after Harry disclosed in his memoir, "Spare," that he had used drugs in the past. The conservative think tank Heritage Foundation sued the Department of Homeland Security for access to Harry's visa application, citing concerns that his previous drug use might have jeopardized his application status under US visa laws.
Allegations surfaced that Harry received preferential treatment due to his royal status. A recent ruling mandated the submission of documents related to his immigration status and visa application for court review, adding to Harry's legal troubles.
Trump's comments fueled the debate, particularly regarding whether Harry would receive any special privileges if he lost his court battle. Trump's response was blunt: no special treatment would be given, and if there were concerns about Harry's drug use and possible deception, appropriate actions would be taken. However, Trump remained ambiguous about what those actions would entail, leaving speculation about potential consequences under his presidency.
Support for Trump's stance on Harry's situation emerged from various quarters. Several personalities from the reality show "90 Day Fiancé" echoed sentiments that Harry shouldn't receive preferential treatment.
Jesse Meer, a former cast member, emphasized his adherence to the law as the reason for his trouble-free residency in the US and voiced support for Trump's border policies. Similarly, Lissa Lemur, another alumna of the show, emphasized the privilege of living in the US and opposed special treatment for Harry, citing her own struggles and lack of exemptions despite past issues.
Others, like Ro Berger Angela Lan, criticized Harry for mentioning his past drug use in his memoir, arguing that it worsened his legal battle and his chances of remaining in the US with Meghan Markle. Lan suggested that Harry's decision to disclose such details was unwise and questioned why it wasn't edited out of the book, speculating on potential persuasion behind Harry's revelation.
As Harry awaits both the judge's ruling on the disclosure of his immigration documents and the outcome of the presidential election, speculation and opinions continue to swirl around his immigration status and the potential repercussions of his past revelations.
