Now this is just hilarious!
Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, is facing increasing scrutiny as several royal experts suggest he should focus on charitable endeavors and distance himself from ongoing public controversies. This advice comes amid remarks from former President Donald Trump regarding Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, who left the UK in 2020 and now reside in California.
In a recent interview, Trump was asked if he would deport Prince Harry, following a lawsuit filed by the conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation. The lawsuit seeks to release Harry’s immigration records after he admitted to past drug use in his memoir, Spare, published in 2023. Trump, however, stated he would “leave him alone,” adding, “He’s got enough problems with his wife… She’s terrible.”
Despite Trump’s words, the former president’s comments highlight the tensions surrounding the Sussexes. Trump, who has openly criticized Meghan in the past, expressed admiration for the British royal family, particularly for King Charles III and Prince William. While Trump holds strong opinions on border control and immigration, he does not seem inclined to pursue deportation, at least for now. However, he could change his stance if Harry’s visa application is found to be fraudulent.
Royal experts believe Harry, especially, could benefit from focusing on the Invictus Games, a cause dear to him. As a former British Army captain, Harry founded the Invictus Games in 2014 to support injured and wounded service members. His work with veterans has been widely praised and offers an opportunity for Harry to rebuild his public image. Royal commentator Hilary Fordwich suggested that the Sussexes need to limit their public grievances and let their charitable work speak for itself.
For Harry, the Invictus Games represent his most respected work. However, experts like British broadcaster Helena Chard argue that the couple’s ongoing personal drama, including their public feuds with the royal family, continue to overshadow their good intentions. “If they had been quieter about royal matters and focused more on their charitable endeavors, their image would have been far more favorable,” said Chard.
It’s clear that for Harry and Meghan, the road to redemption may lie in steering away from the negative press and using their platform for positive change. Whether they can break free from the whirlwind of public scrutiny remains to be seen. In the meantime, Harry’s future in America may depend not just on his personal struggles, but also on the political climate and the scrutiny of his immigration status.
