Where Harry and Meghan could end up living
US President Donald Trump has publicly attacked Meghan Markle as he addressed the possible deportation of Prince Harry back to the UK.
New details have emerged about why Donald Trump won’t deport Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from the US.
Last week, the US President told the New York Post he wasn’t interested in throwing Harry out of the country.
“I don’t want to do that,” he told the outlet.
“I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.”
However, that is not the real reason.
The Sun reports Mr Trump ruled out deporting the Duke of Sussex due to his ‘warm relationship’ with King Charles and his ‘respect’ for the Royal Family
According to the outlet, the President knows that if he were to kick out Harry from California and his $20.9 million mansion the 40-year-old royal would have nowhere to go, causing a headache for the King.
“Having him back in the UK is actually harder than having him kept away in the USA,” a source told The Sun.
Mr Trump previously called the Duke “whipped” and said he “betrayed the Queen” with his tell-all memoir and Netflix show.
He has also said “I’m not a fan” of Meghan and called her “nasty”.

Meanwhile, Harry was caught saying Mr Trump had “blood on his hands” over environment policies and Meghan has previously called him “misogynistic” and “divisive”.
The Duke’s right to live in the US is the focus of a court case over whether or not he lied about taking cocaine, marijuana and hallucinogens on his visa application.
The King, 76, is in regular communication with The Donald after they struck up a rapport during his first term in office, including during his State Visit to the UK in June 2019.
They are said to share much in common and the King is known to write many letters to America, while Mr Trump values his friendship with the monarch.
Mr Trump has always spoken of his respect for the late Queen Elizabeth II and it seems he is keen to maintain a close relationship with the rest of her family.
In December, he boasted of meeting Prince William in Paris, where he claimed they had a “great, great talk” and declared the heir to the throne a “good looking guy”.
It is an ironic twist that after spending years blasting his brother and father it is their relationship with Mr Trump that is keeping Harry safe.

Relations between William, Charles and Harry are still frosty, with Harry only given a 30 minute audience when he flew back to the UK in February 2024 following his father’s cancer diagnosis.
When he returned to London in May, Harry reportedly turned down the chance to stay at Buckingham Palace – and was told his father was too busy to see him.
After insults from the Sussex camp aimed at Kate and Camilla, only a public apology from outspoken Harry would begin mending any fences.
But the Charles and Trump friendship is now key in Harry’s right to remain in California with Meghan and their two children Archie, 5. and Lilibet, 3.
The day after Mr Trump’s scathing remark, Harry appeared to take a veiled swipe at the US President.
During his opening speech at the Invictus Games, the Duke told competitors’ “courage, values, and humanity” deserved special acknowledgment at a time “when there is no shortage of crises, no absence of uncertainty, no lack of weak moral character in the world”.

Conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation is still fighting in court for the US government to release Harry’s visa application.
The organisation is demanding to know whether Harry declared his drug taking during his application to live in the US in 2020.
Applicants are usually rejected if they have a history of drug taking – which raises questions over Harry, who revealed his use of cocaine, marijuana and hallucinogens in his memoir “Spare” and promotional interviews.
Harry has blasted the UK in the five years since he and Meghan fled to the US and is embroiled in an ongoing legal row against the Home Office over a decision to downgrade his taxpayer funded security.
He has not brought his children to the UK since the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022, meaning the King has only met Lilibet once in person.
While Harry is said to have hoped Charles would intervene on his behalf, sources close to the King say it would be “wholly inappropriate” for him to get involved.

Meanwhile Harry told Oprah Winfrey during a mental health series for Apple TV in 2021 that he felt “tense” and “triggered” whenever he flew back to the UK.
And their $100m Netflix show ‘Harry & Meghan’ caused controversy when it branded the Commonwealth, much loved by the late Queen, as ‘Empire 2.0’.
Academic Afua Hirsch gave the association of nations the label, while author Kehinde Andrews claimed ‘nothing has changed’ from the UK’s colonial past, apart from the Royal Family’s ‘better PR’.
Many saw the comments as an attack on the Queen’s legacy by the Sussexes, who had previously served as President and Vice President of the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust, which supports youth empowerment in Commonwealth countries until they lost their patronages during Megxit.
It seems that Harry and Meghan don’t want to be back in Britain – and many Brits don’t want them back either.
So it’s good news for everyone that the King and President Trump have such a special relationship.
