In an unexpected twist of a royal battle, Prince Harry’s fate in the United States is in the hands of none other than freshly elected President Donald Trump.
However, it appears that he is considering making an unusual gesture that has sparked much speculation: sparing the Duke of Sussex from deportation. And it’s all about royal favors: Trump’s choice is a goodwill gesture to the British monarch. Read on to know more!
According to a lawyer, Donald Trump may not deport Prince Harry as a “favor to King Charles”. This comes after worries were raised about the estranged royal’s efforts to keep his immigration documents confidential.
The entire dispute centers on Harry’s dr:ug use in his early years, which he publicly admits to in his autobiography, Spare. Experts are now questioning whether the Duke mentioned this knowledge on his US visa application when he went to America four years ago.
Furthermore, some legal experts feel this may jeopardize Harry’s US residency.
Following Trump’s election triumph, legal experts questioned whether the Duke of Sussex had lost the “upper hand” in his fight to keep his immigration paperwork confidential. The Heritage Foundation has told GB News that acquiring Harry’s visa records through the courts will be easier now that Trump is in power.
Nile Gardiner, director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at The Heritage Foundation, told the outlet that President Trump prioritizes border security. Given the findings in Harry’s book, his immigration documents should be made public. They also hope to see the record soon!
However, New York lawyer Michael Wildes, who has previously worked with the Trump family, expressed a different viewpoint, saying, “He could allow Harry to stay as a favor for King Charles.” He cited Trump’s “sophisticated view” of high-profile immigration issues and said that the President may pardon Charles for any domestic crimes.
