Donald Trump seems determined to continue his crusade against Prince Harry. If a few weeks ago he already announced that he was no longer going to “protect” the son of King Charles III in some harsh statements, ensuring that he considered that the prince had “betrayed Queen” Elizabeth II; The businessman and politician goes a step further and warns that he would not hesitate to deport him if necessary.
Trump is clear that he wants to be re-elected again and, to do so, he is making as much noise as possible with his opinions. The former president sat down for an interview from his Mar-a-Lago residence with Nigel Farage on GB News, and did not hesitate to suggest that the prince would not get “special privileges” if he was found to have falsified information on his form to obtain the residence visa.
The Duke of Sussex has lived in the United States since 2020 with his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children, Archie (4) and Lilibet (2); obtaining residency thanks to a visa. However, in his autobiography, In the Shadow, he revealed that he had used drugs in the past – something that affects obtaining these documents, since anyone who applies for a visa to reside and work in the country must answer the question: ” Are you or have you ever been a drug addict or addict?”
The prince admitted to having used substances such as cocaine, cannabis, ayahuasca and psychedelic mushrooms; something that Donald Trump assures that he would not ignore under any circumstances. “We will have to see if they know anything about drugs, Trump declared in the interview, which will air this Tuesday, March 19. “If he lied, appropriate measures will have to be taken.”
Some “appropriate measures” that the former president did not specify, at least for the moment. What the candidate for re-election has mentioned is that if he wins next November, Prince Henry “would be alone.”
For the moment, The Heritage Foundation has requested through court that more information be provided regarding the prince’s application and visa process, to demonstrate whether or not he lied in such important documentation. The Department of Homeland Security said it needed a few weeks to search for Prince Harry’s immigration documents. Only a judge will decide whether they will be made public or not.
Nile Gardiner, a representative of the organization, explained that the lawsuit tries to ensure that no one obtains any “special treatment” in immigration matters. “The Department of Homeland Security looked the other way if the Prince answered truthfully, or looked the other way if Prince Harry lied on his visa application,” Gardiner insists. “Either action would be wrong.”
Questions about drugs on visas are not unusual, and more than one celebrity has been turned upside down, denied entry into the country. Famous is the case of the singer Amy Winehouse, whose visa application to enter the United States was rejected in 2008 by the American embassy in London. The singer performed via satellite, was up for six awards and won her first Grammy.
