Will Trump deport Prince Harry?

To the US, where President Trump is busy making the most of his return to the top job. At his inauguration on Monday, the Republican president was keen to hammer home just how much he wants to change during his time in office – even signing a number of executive orders during the event, to the delight of adoring crowds. From leaving the World Health Organisation to renaming the Gulf of Mexico, President Trump has made it clear he’s here to shake things up. And this could spell trouble for one particular Prince.

The monarch of Montecito could end up Trump’s next target – after the US President vowed to take ‘appropriate action’ if it transpires that Prince Harry has lied about drug use in his visa application. Trump’s intervention follows campaigning by the Heritage Foundation think tank, which began to look into the Duke of Sussex after he confessed in his memoir Spare that he had previously dabbled with drugs – from cannabis to cocaine and even hallucinogenic magic mushrooms.
