In an interview with GB News, former President Donald Trump discussed potential repercussions for Prince Harry‘s residency in the United States, should it be discovered that he lied on his visa application regarding drug use.
Trump’s remarks came in response to questions from Nigel Farage, a presenter known for his criticism of Prince Harry.
U.S. visa applicants are required to disclose any history of drug use, with falsification potentially leading to penalties, including deportation. Prince Harry, who has resided in California since 2020, admitted to past illegal drug use in his memoir “Spare.”
Following this disclosure, the Heritage Foundation pursued legal action to obtain Harry’s immigration records, resulting in a court ruling that these details should be made available.
When asked about the possibility of Prince Harry receiving special privileges if it’s revealed that he lied on his application, Trump emphasized that appropriate action should be taken if falsehoods are uncovered. However, he remained ambiguous about the specific consequences, stating, “You’ll have to tell me.”
Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have been vocal about their dissatisfaction with the British royal family, citing a lack of protection from negative media coverage.
This discontent has been expressed through various platforms, including interviews and documentaries, following their decision to step back from royal duties and relocate to the United States.
Despite their assertions about the treatment they received from the royal family, the couple has faced scrutiny over their actions, particularly regarding their residency status in the U.S.
The ongoing legal proceedings surrounding Prince Harry’s visa application have added uncertainty to their situation, with the potential for significant implications depending on the outcome.
Throughout the interview, Trump’s comments underscored the importance of adhering to visa application requirements and the potential consequences of providing false information.
