Trump’s Stance on Prince Harry’s Immigration Status
President Donald Trump has made it clear that he has no intention of deporting Prince Harry, despite the ongoing deportations under his administration and questions surrounding the prince’s immigration status. In a recent statement, Trump addressed the speculation about Prince Harry’s potential deportation, drawing a clear distinction between the royal and other individuals targeted for removal from the United States.
Trump’s comments come amid a legal battle in Washington, D.C., concerning Prince Harry’s immigration status. The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, has cited Harry’s memoir “Spare” as evidence of prior drug use, raising questions about the truthfulness of his visa application. Despite these concerns, Trump emphasized that his focus remains on removing violent offenders and criminals who are in the country unlawfully.
Meanwhile, advisors are suggesting that Harry keep a low profile.
Criticism of Meghan Markle and Royal Family Dynamics
While sparing Prince Harry from deportation threats, Trump did not hold back in his criticism of Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex. The President’s comments reflect a complex relationship with the royal couple, particularly with Markle, whom he has previously clashed with publicly.
“I don’t want to do that. I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible,” President Trump said.
Trump’s remarks highlight the ongoing tension between him and the Duchess, which dates back to before his presidency. Markle has previously referred to Trump as “divisive” and “misogynistic,” prompting Trump to label her comments as “nasty.” This exchange set the tone for their continued public disagreements.
Contrasting Views on Royal Brothers
In his recent statements, Trump drew a sharp contrast between Prince Harry and his brother, Prince William. The President praised William, calling him “a great man,” which further emphasized his critical stance towards Harry and Meghan.
“He betrayed the queen. That’s unforgivable,” President Trump said.
This comparison underscores Trump’s perception of the two princes and their roles within the royal family. By lauding William while criticizing Harry, Trump aligns himself with those who disapprove of Harry and Meghan’s decision to step back from royal duties and relocate to the United States.
Trump’s comments on Prince Harry’s immigration status also serve as a platform for criticizing the current administration. The President has accused the Biden administration of “protecting Harry,” suggesting preferential treatment for the prince.
