Donald Trump’s election win could put Prince Harry’s future in the US at risk

Donald Trump’s hatred for Prince Harry puts the royal’s future in the US at risk now that the former president is back in office.

Donald Trump claims victory in US Presidential election

Donald Trump’s hatred for Prince Harry puts his future in the US at risk, experts have warned.

Greg Swenson, Chairman of Republicans Overseas UK, blasted “stupid” Harry for writing about taking drugs in his memoir Spare.

The admission opened up an intense row 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.

Mr Trump previously vowed if he was elected back into office “Harry is on his own.”

This morning Mr Trump won a crushing election victory to seal his spot in the White House for another term.

And it’s put Harry’s future at risk, according to experts.

Mr Swenson told The Sun: “Donald Trump doesn’t like Harry and Meghan. He loves the King but doesn’t care for Harry at all.

“They indicted Trump for misrepresenting a book keeping entry, you could argue misrepresenting drug use on a visa form is more serious.”

It is not known what was stated on Harry’s visa form.

Mr Trump was found guilty on 34 charges of falsifying business records to disguise a hush-money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election.

Meanwhile, Mr Trump 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.”

American think-tank The Heritage Fund previously appealed the decision made by the Biden administration to keep Harry’s visa details private.

Fund’s director Nile Gardener tweeted: “An extremely bad night for Harry and Meghan.”

And Mr Trump’s 40-year-old son Eric has lashed out at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, claiming the only reason Prince Harry’s US Visa is safe is because “no one cares” about him but said “we’ll happily send them back” to the UK.

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.

Today, royal expert Ingrid Seward has warned Harry will need to tread carefully now Mr Trump is back in office.

She told The Sun: “Trump is pretty mad isn’t he? So maybe he will pick on them. I don’t think Harry and Meghan will be too worried about what Trump might say, it’s what he might do that’s the issue.

“If he suddenly wanted to make an impact, it would definitely do that. He knows better than anyone that would get worldwide coverage. There is that danger.”

Harry and Meghan are not believed to be fans of the new US President.

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.

In an astonishing outburst Harry claimed Mr Trump has “blood on his hands” during a hoax call with a fake Greta Thunburg in 2020.

The Sussexes moved to Montecito four years ago and have been evicted from their UK home at Frogmore Cottage.
