Donald Trump WON'T deport Prince Harry from the US as he says: 'I'll leave him alone. He's got enough problems with his wife. She's terrible'

Donald Trump, the President of the United States, has confirmed that there are no intentions to force Prince Harry out of the country amidst a legal dispute concerning his immigration status. This statement came alongside a subtle jab aimed at Meghan Markle, his wife.

‘I don’t want to do that,’ Trump said on Friday.

‘I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.’

Currently, Harry is embroiled in a legal battle over his immigration status in Washington DC. The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, has raised concerns suggesting that Harry may have hidden information about illicit drug usage that could have led to a denial of his US visa.

In his memoir, Spare, he detailed how he took cocaine several times as a teenager and experimented with cannabis and mushrooms.

Heritage cited his own admissions in its filing against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as it sought to have Harry’s visa records released.

The Heritage Foundation has implied that Joe Biden, the former President and a Democrat, may have provided Harry with special treatment during his move to California following the ‘Megxit’ – when Harry and Meghan decided to step back from their royal roles entirely.

The think tank previously tried to seek the disclosure of Harry’s visa papers via US Customs and Border protection, which said it needed the Duke of Sussex’s permission to release them.

It appears to be a change of heart for Trump, who had previously suggested last March that he could deport the Duke.

He had told GB News: ‘We’ll have to see if they know something about the drugs, and if he lied they’ll have to take appropriate action.’

The US Department of State says that convictions for drug offences can make visa applicants ineligible.

Heritage had sought to obtain the information from the DHS via freedom of information requests before bringing its case to court. Harry is not a party in the lawsuit.

This week, judge Carl Nichols asked the DHS to provide details of redactions it could make in Harry’s visa records in what has been interpreted as a strong suggestion the documents could be made public, to a degree.

Judge Nichols had previously ruled on September 9 that the secret records should remain private. 

Harry’s immigration status – whether he is on a regular or diplomatic visa, or a green card signifying permanent residency – is not known. 

In February last year, the Duke said he had ‘considered’ applying to become a US citizen.

Asked on ABC’s Good Morning America what was stopping him, he said: ‘I have no idea. It’s a thought that has crossed my mind but it’s not a high priority for me right now.’

Two months later the Duke indicated that he is ‘usually resident’ in the U.S.

The classification was made in a business filing at U.K. Companies House for British-based Travalyst Ltd, which he owns 75 percent of. The company advises travel brands on sustainable tourism.

Harry’s memoir Spare featured descriptions of drug use, including an admission by the Duke that cocaine ‘didn’t do anything for me’. 

‘It wasn’t much fun, and it didn’t make me particularly happy, as it seemed to make everyone around me,’ he wrote. 

‘But it did make me feel different, and that was the main goal.’ 

Sources close to the Duke have previously indicated that he was truthful as he completed his visa application. 

The DHS said of last year’s information request: ‘Much like health, financial, or employment information, a person’s immigration information is private personal information.’ 

Trump had previously suggested last March that he could deport the Duke, telling GB News: ‘We’ll have to see if they know something about the drugs, and if he lied they’ll have to take appropriate action.’

Speaking outside court earlier this week, Nile Gardiner of the Heritage Foundation said: ‘We are pushing for the Trump administration to release the records, and we have urged President Trump to release the records.

‘We hope that with a new president there will be full transparency.’

US visa applicants are asked by the DHS whether they are or have ever been ‘a drug abuser or addict?, and whether they have ever ‘violated any law relating to controlled substances’.

If they answer ‘yes’ they can still receive a waiver. However, it has not been confirmed which type of visa the royal applied for.

Last year, Dailymail.com revealed that Harry could be on a rare diplomatic visa known as an A-1 Head of State visa.

That would have meant he was not vetted by U.S. authorities for past use of drugs. If this is the case, the State Department under Trump could withdraw the status.

Trump added in his interview with the New York Post that he thought Harry’s brother William, the Prince of Wales, as a ‘great young man’.

The pair had met for a behind-closed-doors meeting following the reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris in December.

The President has previously said he is ‘not a fan’ of Meghan – while she has labelled him ‘divisive’ and ‘misogynistic’. Trump labelled her ‘nasty’ in return in 2019 – before labelling her a ‘very good American Princess’.

He has also previously described the Duke as being ‘whipped’ by the former Suits star.

The Trumps and the Sussexes have been civil in the past, prior to Megxit – with Harry seen shaking hands with Melania Trump in 2017 as the third Invictus Games got underway in Canada a year before he and Meghan tied the knot.

Trump was not invited to the wedding despite being US President in 2018 – due to, it was reported, the size of the church. 

Theresa May, then Prime Minister, and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn were also not invited – nor were the Obamas, friends of the couple.

Harry was also seen speaking with Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka as the President undertook his state visit to the UK in 2019, and is reported to have sat in a private lunch with the President during the visit.

Meanwhile, Meghan Markle gave an impromptu speech at a private Invictus Games event on Saturday to say how she feels ‘at home’ in Canada – praising her husband for his dedication to the sporting event for disabled military veterans.

The pair first moved to Vancouver Island after stepping back from royal duties – before relocating to California, where they remain. 

She said to participants in the event: ‘He’s in it with you, and you’ll see him through all of those moments. He’ll be there with you.’

Meghan also made a touching confession about her family’s preparations for the Games, mentioning her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

‘What you won’t have seen is all of the moments that have happened in the lead-up to these Games, all of the moments where, as you know, with families, the big rush in the morning – getting ready for school, packing the lunch boxes, making breakfast.

‘My husband’s in all of that with us, and then he’ll be on his phone, and Archie will say: ‘Papa, why are you on your phone?’ And he’s like: ‘That’s Invictus. I’m getting ready for Invictus’.

‘It means so much to him. You are his family, just as we are his family, and I hope you recognise how much of his heart he has poured into every single thing that has gotten all of you to this week, which is going to be spectacular. I just need you to know that.’
