Dear oh dear. Donald Trump’s presidential victory has not thrilled everyone – and, Mr S suspects, least of all Prince Harry. The president-elect has suggested the royal could be, er, deported from the States.
The suggestion came after the publication of Harry’s book Spare, in which the prince claimed he once dabbled with drugs like cocaine, cannabis and magic mushrooms. Under US law, a visa can be rejected if the person making the application has taken drugs – and Trump has suggested that Harry should not receive ‘special privileges’ if he was found to have lied on his visa form. During a visit to Scotland in August, Trump’s son Eric called Harry and Meghan ‘spoiled apples’ while one insider told the Mail that that the Sussexes were making ‘desperate’ efforts to return to the UK. How curious. And, to add insult to injury, last month an American think-tank even tried to reopen a court case with the Department for Homeland Security to disclose Harry’s immigration records.
