King Charles Reached Out To Donald Trump After Assassination Attempt Amid Prince Harry's Visa Concerns
King Charles sent Donald Trump a letter after the shooting incident in Philadelphia on Saturday.
The British monarch reached out to the former U.S. president after he learned that Trump was targeted in an assassination attempt during his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. He wrote a private later on Sunday, and it was delivered by the United Kingdom's embassy in Washington, Fox News reported.
However, the content of the letter remains unknown. The outlet noted that the Palace declined to comment when asked about it.
The British monarch and ex-POTUS met several times over the years. They first met in 2005 when His Majesty and Queen Camilla visited the United States. They met again at President George H.W. Bush's funeral in 2018.
In 2019, the two leaders reunited when Trump flew to the United Kingdom for a three-day visit with his wife, Melania Trump. The late Queen hosted a state banquet for the former first couple at Buckingham Palace, Business Insider reported. Trump and Melania also posed for photos with Queen Elizabeth, then-Prince Charles and Camilla.
King Charles' youngest son, Prince Harry, is rumored to be at odds with Trump. The Duke of Sussex admitted to using psychedelic drugs, including cannabis and cocaine, in his memoir "Spare." Following his admission, many wanted to know how his drug history would affect his U.S. visa.
Joe Biden's administration was accused of "protecting Harry" by keeping his visa application confidential. However, Trump said he wouldn't do the same if reelected.
"No," Trump said when asked if Prince Harry would get special privileges.
"We'll have to see if they know something about the drugs, and if he lied, they'll have to take appropriate action," he added.
Trump also shared the same sentiment when asked about the issue at the CPAC. According to him, he would not protect Prince Harry after what he did to his family.
"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 said.
The businessman-turned-politician also said that the royal family has been "too gracious" to the Duke of Sussex after "what he has done."
Michael Cole, a former BBC royal correspondent, claimed Prince Harry could be kicked out of America if he did not tell the truth about his drug history in his visa application. If this happens, the Sussexes might move to Canada.
"With Donald Trump, you're either in or out, you're either friend or foe," Cole said, seemingly warning the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. "If he regards you as a foe, he will do his best to act against you, there's no doubt about it. It's as clear as night from day. It's very serious matter."
