With the U.S. election campaign ongoing, one person who is likely awaiting the voting day and the results of the elections is Prince Harry. At the time being, he’s not an American citizen, although he said he considered applying for citizenship in the future.
In case Donald Trump takes the Oval Office again, the prince’s future in the States will be uncertain as Trump has already stated that he won’t protect the Duke and would ask for his visa to be revoked in case it’s determined that he lied when he applied for it.
“I wouldn’t protect him. He betrayed the Queen. That’s unforgivable. He would be on his own if it was down to me,” Trump told the Express, adding that according to him the Royal Family was “too gracious” to the Duke after “what he has done.”
In his book Spare, Harry discussed his past with using substances such as cocaine, marijuana, and magic mushrooms, stating that he tried it as a teenager when he felt insecure and still sad because of his mother’s passing.
“Of course…I had been doing cocaine around this time…I’d been offered a line, and I’d done a few more since. I was a deeply unhappy 17-year-old boy willing to try almost anything that would alter the status quo. That was what I told myself anyway,” Harry wrote in Spare.
“All the great seers and philosophers say our daily life is an illusion. I always felt the truth in that. But how reassuring it was, after nibbling a mushroom, or ingesting ayahuasca, to experience it for myself,” he continued.
According to royal experts, the Duke regrets opening up about his history with drugs in his all-tell memoir, but he was unaware at the time of writing it that the information he disclosed in it could put him in trouble.
Tom Quinn spoke to the Mirror about it, saying that Harry hopes to be spared over the revelations.
“Harry initially thought this couldn’t possibly happen to him as the normal rules don’t apply to a Royal Prince, but he is increasingly realizing that in the United States being a prince doesn’t actually count for very much. But one thing is for sure Harry deeply regrets ever making his drug-taking public. It never occurred to him that this might end up threatening his whole life plan,” Quinn said.
“He finds the day long and lonely,” he added. “Meghan does her best to support Harry, but she is in her natural environment, and he is in a strange unfamiliar world which grows increasingly unfriendly.”
Last year, The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank in the U.S., sued the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for accessing Prince Harry’s immigration records. When applying for certain U.S. visas, applicants must disclose any history of drug use, which can lead to their application being denied.
“We’ll have to see if they know something about the drugs, and if he lied they’ll have to take appropriate action,” Trump told GB News in March.
Back in 2019, Donald Trump visited the UK, and as part of the trip, he met with the various senior members of the British Royal Family, including then-Prince Charles – the two apparently spoke on climate change – and, of course, the late Queen Elizabeth II.
At around the same time, there were some tensions that involved Meghan Markle.
Namely, during an appearance on The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore, Markle spoke of Trump, who was running for a president at the time, as of “misogynistic” and “divisive.” What’s most, she shared she would give her vote to his opponent, Hillary Clinton.
Fast forward to Donald’s UK visit, Meghan had just given birth to Archie and was on maternity leave, so she didn’t appear during the state visit. Other reports suggested that she and Trump were intentionally kept apart to avoid an embarrassing clash, especially due to comments the then-president made before arriving in the UK.
Speaking with The Sun at the Oval Office, Trump said he had never heard Meghan’s words about him.
“I didn’t know that. What can I say? I didn’t know that she was nasty,” he told the magazine.
Of course, neither Meghan nor Harry were happy with Trump calling her nasty. Later on, Harry was actually scheduled to attend a lunch at which Trump was also supposed to be present. As the Duke was expected to remain politically neutral, he was supposed to “toe the line” around the US President.
According to Hugo Vickers, the Sussexes have a “backup plan” in case Trump wins the elections.
“Knowing the character of Trump, he’s quite likely to want to do something which sort of bangs the fist on the table and establishes his authority. And also something which would get a lot of publicity,” Vickers told The Sun.
“So I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he suddenly said ‘Right, I’m sending Prince Harry out of this country.’ And the reasons that he would use would be the drug issue, because Prince Harry has admitted to taking marijuana, cocaine, magic mushrooms – and may not have filled that in on his visa form.”
Trump’s possible decision may also have with his “feud” with Meghan Markle.
“And Trump has stated publicly he won’t forgive Harry. Trump probably thinks ‘I got on well with the Queen’, which he definitely did, and ‘I would like to respect her memory by booting him out.’”
Vickers concluded: “He doesn’t really abide by the rules. To get Harry out, he would stump the table and tell somebody to look into the way you do these things and just fix it. You know that’s the way he is.”
