Meghan and Harry should be VERY worried – Donald Trump is unpredictable & WON’T hold back in visa row
Harry’s controversial admission of drug use in Spare opened up an intense debate into whether he should be allowed to stay in the country.
A requirement of the visa is a tick box on whether he’d taken drugs, with many suggesting he may have lied.
Yesterday morning Trump won a crushing election victory to seal his spot in the White House for another term.
The newly elected president previously vowed if he was voted back into office that “Harry is on his own”.
Now, The Sun’s Bronte Coy has spoken to two royal experts on our Royal Exclusive show on what Trump’s victory could mean for the Duke of Sussex.
Filling in for Matt Wilkinson, Bronte quizzed Sarah Hewson and Chris Ship on their thoughts about the nature of Harry’s visa row.
Royal expert Chris said: “I think they should be worried about Trump’s unpredictability.
“He can say one thing and doesn’t do it or he ends up doing something completely different.
“When Trump gets into the White House he may have an entirely different view on the visa row than what he said before.
“We know what Meghan’s political views are like and she won’t be happy Trump has won.
“At some point of his presidency, he will be asked about it and we just don’t know what that will be.”
Broadcaster and royal correspondent Sarah added: “He won’t hold back though will he.
“Trump will surely have bigger fish to fry but he’s made no secret of his feelings towards Meghan and Harry and the damage they’ve done to the royal family.
“The big issue is that we don’t know the status of Harry’s visa.
“However, it’s something that is not going to go away and that makes things difficult for both Harry and Meghan.”
Chris added that Harry had made a problem for himself by writing everything down in a book for everyone to read.
The returning president addressed Harry’s visa row earlier this year, saying: “I wouldn’t protect him. He betrayed the Queen. That’s unforgivable. He would be on his own if it was down to me.”
It is not known what was stated on Harry’s visa form.
American think-tank The Heritage Fund previously appealed the decision made by the Biden administration to keep Harry’s visa details private.
Among the shocking claims made in Harry’s memoir Spare, he referenced the times he did lines of cocaine at 17 before experimenting with psychedelic mushrooms and smoking marijuana.
It prompted a Washington DC think tank to question why he was allowed into the US in 2020.
It filed a 13-page motion to the court to try to reopen the case, arguing “iron-clad guardrails” were broken.
Ahead of the 2020 election which he lost to Joe Biden, the Sussexes called on the public to vote and “reject hate speech, misinformation and online negativity” in what was interpreted as a swipe at Trump.
The Duchess of Sussex added that the election was “the most important election of our lifetime” but the pair have been quiet during this year’s vote.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s representatives have been contacted for comment.
