(Express) Former President Donald Trump has hinted that he could deport Prince Harry if he is re-elected, warning the Duke of Sussex that he “will not protect him” like Joe Biden.
The former president spoke exclusively to the Daily Express US at the CPAC conference in Washington DC, moments before appearing before a packed audience of conservatives who had waited hours for him.
His comments came 24 hours after Prince Harry had appeared in court over whether he had lied on his immigration papers to the US about his drug use which he confessed to in his book Spare.
The legal challenge has been pursued by the Heritage Foundation against Biden’s Department of Homeland Security.
They claim that, under US immigration law, evidence of past drug use can be used as grounds to reject a visa application.
Prince Harry has come under fire
Trump said he was furious at the Joe Biden administration for “protecting Harry” by keeping his immigration application confidential.
He told Daily Express US: “I wouldn’t protect him. He betrayed the Queen. That’s unforgivable. He would be on his own if it was down to me.”
Trump also believes the Royal Family had been “too gracious” to Harry after “what he has done”.
It comes after Harry told ABC’s Good Morning America that he had also “considered” applying to become a US citizen.
During the same interview, the duke revealed he “jumped on a plane” as soon as possible to see King Charles after his father was diagnosed with cancer.
