Former president Donald Trump suggested during a Tuesday interview with British outlet GB News that Prince Harry could face deportation over past illegal drug use. After Prince Harry acknowledged in his memoir "Spare" that he had used illicit substances in the past, right-leaning think tank the Heritage Foundation sued the Department of Homeland Security to gain access to his immigration records, per NBC.
During a discussion about Harry's U.S. visa eligibility, Trump was asked if the royal would see any "special privileges" if it were determined that he had not been truthful on his visa application. "No," the ex-president replied. "We’ll have to see if they know something about the drugs, and if he lied they’ll have to take appropriate action." When asked to expound upon what he meant, and whether Harry could potentially be deported, Trump said, "Oh, I don’t know. You’ll have to tell me. You just have to tell me. You would have thought they would have known this a long time ago."
The former president has previously jabbed at Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle. In a 2022 interview with Piers Morgan — a notorious critic of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex — Trump claimed that Harry "is whipped like no person I think I've ever seen," adding, "I'm not a fan of Meghan, I'm not a fan, and I wasn't, right from the beginning. I think poor Harry is being led around by his nose."
