In a recent media appearance, former U.S. President Donald Trump hinted that he might deport Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, from the United States following allegations that he lied in his visa application regarding drug use. When asked by British journalist Nigel Farage during an interview what he would do if elected president and it turned out that Prince Harry lied on his visa forms, Trump did not hesitate to affirm that he would take appropriate action. He stated, "We’ll have to see if they know something about the drugs, and if he lied they’ll have to take appropriate action," referring to the Department of Homeland Security.
The Duke of Sussex, along with his wife Meghan Markle, moved permanently to the United States in June 2020 after numerous family disputes with the British royal family. U.S. immigration authorities typically require visa applicants to confirm that they have not used drugs; however, the Duke admitted in his memoirs last year to using cocaine, marijuana, and psychedelics.
It is noteworthy that Trump has previously criticized the young couple after their decision to leave the royal family. In a statement last month, he said that he "would not protect the couple" if he returned to the presidency, deeming that Prince Harry "betrayed the late Queen Elizabeth II." He also directly criticized Meghan, emphasizing that he was dissatisfied with how she treated the Queen.
