Former U.S. President Donald Trump hinted that he might deport Prince Harry from the U.S. if he gets re-elected as President. According to reports, this is because the Duke of Sussex, Harry, admitted to using drugs in his tell-all interview.

During an interview with Nigel Farage, a British broadcaster, former President Donald Trump made it crystal clear that Prince Harry, the son of King Charles, wouldn’t be getting any special treatment when it comes to his residency in the United States.

However, the government lawyers argued Prince Harry’s account could have been embellished to “sell books.” They noted that “saying something in a book doesn’t necessarily make it true.” John Bardo, a lawyer for the Biden administration, told the court that “the book isn’t sworn testimony or proof.” He added, “Saying something in a book doesn’t necessarily make it true.”
Bardo added, “Prince Harry is one foreign national out of many who enter the US legally.”
