Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, has found himself under the glaring spotlight of both royal gossip and U.S. immigration law. For years, rumors have swirled that the would-be American royal fibbed about his past drug use on his visa application—an act that puts him teetering on the edge of being an illegal immigrant. This revelation is just the latest twist in the ongoing saga of the British royal family’s infamous cross-Atlantic drama.
Enter former President Donald Trump, who recently declared he has no intention of rounding up Prince Harry and sending him back to the UK. Sounding much like someone who’s exhausted by others’ baggage, Trump quipped that he already has “enough problems” to deal with concerning Meghan Markle, Harry’s wife. The playful jab shows that humor and politics often intertwine in the wild world of celebrity culture.
Trump’s reply on deporting Prince Harry:
“I don’t want to do that. I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible,”

As the media devotes column inches to Harry’s relationship with his controversial wife, it’s worth noting the subtle truth behind the absurdity: Trump’s previous encounters with both Harry and William highlight a preference for the elder brother. While Meghan seems to have driven a wedge deeper between Harry and the royal family, Trump clearly feels a kinship with William, labeling him a “great young man.” It’s almost as if the former president is passing judgment on royal family dynamics from afar, all while managing his own fair share of political challenges back home.
The immigration controversy surrounding Harry has resurfaced thanks to legal moves by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. With a federal judge reopening litigation regarding Harry’s visa status, Americans are chomping at the bit to discover if the Duke’s memoir spills any truths about his prior tobacco—er, drug—use. The critical question looms whether the prince was forthright on his visa application, a potential misstep that, according to U.S. immigration law, could lead to the prince being booted back across the pond.
Despite the complexities of the case, Trump previously stated that he wouldn’t offer Harry any special privileges should he find himself in hot water. He made it clear that anyone with dubious claims to royalty should be held to the same standards as regular Americans. Betraying the Queen (and, by extension, tradition) certainly doesn’t win one any favors in the historical and often humorously archaic realm of royalty. As a result, Harry’s immigration status isn’t simply about personal choices; it’s a reflection of a deeper quandary involving celebrity privilege and accountability.
So, will Prince Harry’s questionable immigration status ultimately lead to a dramatic deportation, or will he manage to navigate the turbulent waters of U.S. immigration law unscathed, thanks to his high-profile connections? Only time will tell if this saga resolves itself with a quiet exit or a pageantry-filled return to Britain. For now, it appears the murky world of royal drama will keep delivering entertainment fit for a throne.
