Donald Trump is right to pity Prince Harry

Say what you like about President Trump – and people very much do – but there is little doubt that, at the outset of his second term, The Donald has behaved like a man in a hurry. Not a day seems to go past without a blizzard of executive orders closing this and shuttering that, and generally attempting to Make America Great Again. Yet amidst all the threatened deportations of the undesirable, there is one particular high-profile resident alien whom the President has decided to allow to remain in the country: none other than everyone’s favourite Montecito dweller, Prince Harry.

There had been a great deal of speculation, whipped up by various forces in the Republican party, including the think tank the Heritage Foundation, that a resurgent Trump would deport Harry from the States. This was on the grounds that the drug-taking stories in the Duke of Sussex’s memoir Spare sat uneasily with a country that has always frowned on its visitors having any kind of narcotic past.
