Prince Harry could find himself in a precarious situation if Donald Trump returns to the White House, according to royal experts.
The Duke of Sussex, who moved to the United States in 2020 with his wife Meghan Markle after stepping back from royal duties,
may face challenges regarding his visa status if the former president wins the 2024 election.
Trump, who has previously been critical of Prince Harry and Meghan, has hinted at taking action against the Duke’s immigration status.
The issue gained traction after reports suggested that Harry admitted to past drug use in his memoir Spare, which could potentially be a violation of U.S. visa policies. Some political figures have already called for a review of his application process, raising questions about whether he received special treatment.
Former President Trump, known for his tough stance on immigration, has previously stated that he would not offer any exceptions to Prince Harry. In an interview last year, he remarked, “If he’s done something that others wouldn’t get away with, there should be consequences.”
Royal commentators believe Harry should be “very worried” about the potential implications of Trump’s return. Speaking to GB News, royal expert Angela Levin warned that the Duke’s future in the U.S. could be at risk if the issue gains momentum. “If Trump wins, he has made it clear he does not have sympathy for Harry and Meghan,” she said. “That should make him very nervous.”
While Prince Harry and Meghan have built their lives in California, including securing multi-million dollar deals with Netflix and Spotify, their legal residency status remains a point of discussion. So far, the Biden administration has not taken any action against the Duke. However, if Trump regains power, he could instruct his administration to reexamine Harry’s visa application.
The couple has yet to publicly respond to the speculation surrounding Harry’s immigration status. Meanwhile, Trump’s campaign has continued to gain momentum, with recent polls showing him as a strong contender against President Joe Biden in the 2024 election.
As the political landscape in the U.S. shifts, Prince Harry may soon find himself facing unexpected legal challenges—ones that could force him to reconsider his future in America.
