Trump Won't 'Look Favorably' On Prince Harry, His US Visa Issue If Reelected: Insider
Donald Trump is unlikely to back Prince Harry in his ongoing U.S. visa issue if the former president is reelected because he is not a fan of him and his wife Meghan Markle, according to a royal commentator.
Speaking to Sky News Australia, writer and broadcaster Esther Krakue said the GOP 2024 presidential candidate -- who was convicted last week in his hush money trial -- has made it clear that he dislikes the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
"Donald Trump ... has been very vocal about his stance on the Sussexes. In particular, he is not a fan of Meghan," Krakue said.
While President Joe Biden's administration has fought to keep Prince Harry's visa application under wraps, the commentator suggested this will likely not be the case if Trump secures a second term in the White House.
"His administration, should he come back to the White House, will not look favorably on Prince Harry," Krakue predicted.
Prince Harry's immigration status is at the center of a legal battle following his revelation in his memoir, "Spare," that he took cocaine, cannabis, and psychedelic mushrooms in the past.

Drug use can be grounds for non-immigrant and immigrant visa applications to be rejected.
The Heritage Foundation filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to obtain Prince Harry's immigration records.
The conservative think tank is seeking to determine whether or not the royal disclosed his drug use when he moved to California in 2020 alongside Markle.
However, DHS lawyers have argued in court that Prince Harry's book wasn't "sworn testimony or proof."
Krakue noted that some British celebrities, such as Nigella Lawson, were barred from entering the U.S. after admitting to past drug use.
The royal commentator suggested that this case could turn "very nasty" for Prince Harry.
"It could also potentially mean he could lose his mansion in Montecito. If his visa was revoked, he would have no choice but to return to the U.K., where he and his wife don't have an official residence anymore," Krakue told Sky News Australia.
In March, Trump hinted that he could have Prince Harry deported if he's reelected.
During an interview with GB News host Nigel Farage, Trump said that Prince Harry would not have "special privileges" under his administration and that "appropriate action" would be taken if the royal is found to have lied on his U.S. visa application.
When asked if "appropriate action" might mean deportation, Trump responded, "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."
