Donald Trump has appeared to threaten Prince Harry with deportation and has declared he "will not protect him" like Joe Biden.
Shortly before addressing a crowded house of conservatives who had been waiting for him for hours at the CPAC conference in Washington, DC, the former President made hints that, should he be re-elected, he might deport the Duke of Sussex.
His remarks were made 24 hours after Prince Harry appeared in court to answer questions over whether or not he had misrepresented his drug use, which he had admitted to in his book Spare, on his immigration documents to the US. The Heritage Foundation has filed a lawsuit against Biden's Department of Homeland Security.

Speaking to the Daily Express US, Trump expressed his rage at the Joe Biden administration for maintaining the privacy of Harry's immigration application in order to "protect Harry."

“I wouldn’t protect him. He betrayed the Queen. That’s unforgivable. He would be on his own if it was down to me," he said. Trump also feels that, in light of Harry's actions, the Royal Family has been "too gracious" to Harry after "what he has done". Harry revealed on ABC's Good Morning America that he has "considered" submitting an application to become a citizen of the United States.

"The fact that I was able to get on a plane and go to see him, and spend any time with him, I'm grateful for that," he said.
He made the case that these kinds of demands could serve to strengthen family ties by citing the example of the Invictus Games competitors. "Throughout all these families, I see it on a day-to-day basis, the strength of the family unit coming together," he said. "Any illness, any sickness, brings families together."

Harry admitted to drug use in his memoir Spare (Getty Images)In his book, which was published in January 2023, the Duke of Sussex stated that he started using cocaine when he was 17 years old and has only occasionally done so since.
The US government has argued in court that Prince Harry's confessions in his memoir that he took drugs are not 'evidence' that he actually did and may have been a ploy to 'sell books'. As a Washington, DC think tank requested access to Harry's visa application in order to determine whether or not he had lied about using drugs, the Biden administration made the accusation.
During the trial, a transcript of the GMA interview from February 16, 2024, "in which the Duke of Sussex discusses potentially seeking United States citizenship," was presented by Heritage's attorneys. They claimed it strengthened their argument for getting his immigration records released.
"Widespread and continuous media coverage has surfaced the question of whether DHS properly admitted the Duke of Sussex in light of the fact that he has publicly admitted to the essential elements of a number of drug offences," Heritage wrote in a court filing.
