"He's got enough problems with his wife": Trump on not deporting Prince Harry
US President Donald Trump has ruled out deporting Prince Harry, despite ongoing legal challenges regarding the Duke of Sussex's immigration status, according to the New York Post.
In an interview with The New York Post on Friday, Trump emphasized that he does not want to take any action against Harry. "I don't want to do that," Trump said. "I'll leave him alone. He's got enough problems with his wife. She's terrible," he added.
The Heritage Foundation has raised concerns over whether Harry failed to disclose past illegal drug use on his visa application.
The group is pressuring a federal judge to investigate if Harry lied on his immigration paperwork or received special treatment when entering the US in 2020 with his wife, Meghan Markle.
The foundation’s lawsuit follows the Department of Homeland Security’s refusal to release Harry's records under the Freedom of Information Act.
While Harry is not a party to the lawsuit, the Heritage Foundation argues that there is significant public interest in whether he was truthful about his past drug use and whether he was treated differently during the application process.
In his 2023 memoir Spare, Harry revealed using cocaine, cannabis, and psychedelic mushrooms, particularly during his late teens.
Trump praised Harry’s estranged brother, Prince William, calling him "a great young man." The two had met privately in December 2024 during the reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, contrasting sharply with Trump’s tense relationship with Harry and Meghan.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have frequently criticized Trump. Meghan Markle has labeled him "divisive" and "misogynistic," while Trump has mocked Harry, claiming that the prince is "whipped" by Meghan. "I think poor Harry is being led around by the nose," Trump remarked in a previous interview, according to the New York Post.
