President Donald Trump has finally spoken out about Prince Harry’s immigration status, putting an end to months of speculation about whether the Duke of Sussex could face deportation if Trump returns to the White House.
The president’s remarks come amid an ongoing legal battle over Harry’s visa records, with The Heritage Foundation pressing for the release of documents that could reveal whether he misrepresented his past drug use when applying to live in the USA.
The conservative think tank has been urging authorities to disclose whether Harry’s admission of drug use in his memoir Spare contradicts his visa application.
Despite mounting pressure from his allies, Trump shocked many by declaring that he has no intention of deporting Harry. “I don’t want to do that, I’ll leave him alone,” Trump stated, according to GB News.
However, Trump did not hold back when discussing Meghan Markle, delivering a scathing remark about Harry’s wife. “He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible,” Trump added, taking a brutal dig at the Duchess of Sussex.
Trump’s comments have sent shockwaves through royal circles and U.S. political discussions, as many expected him to take a harder stance on the issue. His refusal to act against Harry signals that the Duke may be safe from any political retaliation, despite the ongoing scrutiny of his immigration status.
The legal battle over Harry’s visa remains a hot topic, with The Heritage Foundation fighting the Department of Homeland Security in court. The foundation argues that the American public has a right to know whether Harry received special treatment and if he was truthful in his visa application.
The controversy stems from Harry’s own revelations in Spare, where he admitted to using cocaine, marijuana, and psychedelic drugs. Under U.S. immigration law, lying about drug use on a visa application can lead to serious consequences, including deportation. However, the U.S. government has so far refused to release his records, citing privacy concerns.

Trump’s decision to let Harry stay in the country could be seen as an attempt to avoid unnecessary drama, as he focuses on his political comeback. With the 2024 election cycle in full swing, Trump may be prioritizing larger political battles over royal controversies.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle recently made headlines by kicking off the Invictus Games 2025 in Vancouver, Canada. The couple’s high-profile appearance comes amid ongoing tensions between them and the British royal family, as well as persistent speculation about their future in the U.S.
While Trump’s stance on Harry seems surprisingly lenient, his remarks about Meghan suggest that tensions remain high between the president and the Sussexes. Trump has been a longtime critic of Meghan, previously accusing her of being disrespectful to the Queen and calling her “nasty” during his presidency.
Many royal watchers believe that Harry and Meghan’s relationship with U.S. politics could become even more complicated in the years ahead, especially if Trump regains power. Although Harry may not face deportation, his visa status will likely remain under scrutiny, keeping the Sussexes entangled in controversy.
As Trump continues his Presideny his remarks about Harry and Meghan are sure to fuel further debate. Whether the president’s words will put the visa controversy to rest or escalate tensions remains to be seen.
For now, Prince Harry appears safe in the U.S., but with legal battles still ongoing and political landscapes shifting, his American dream may not be entirely secure just yet.
