Prince Harry was told the case for Donald Trump deporting him “just got a lot more compelling” by a right-wing think tank following a lawsuit over his visa.
The Heritage Foundation sued the Biden administration to try to access Harry’s visa application to determine whether he lied about his past use of drugs.
The prince wrote in his memoir Spare that he had used cannabis, magic mushrooms, ayahuasca and cocaine.
The think tank lost the case after the judge partially redacted a memorandum that suggested Harry’s privacy trumped the public’s right to know.
Heritage’s Oversight Project has suggested that the redactions are “suspicious” and that Trump could deport Harry if he becomes president again.
Trump has never said he will deport Harry but certainly allowed speculation that he might after suggesting he could intervene in the dispute.
In a March interview with GB News, Trump was asked about the issue and said: “We’ll have to see if they know something about the drugs, and if he lied they’ll have to take appropriate action.”
Asked whether that meant Harry “not staying in America,” he said: “Oh I don’t know. You’ll have to tell me. You just have to tell me. You would have thought they would have known this a long time ago.”
