Prince Harry could be in trouble with his US visa if Donald Trump becomes the US President again, after the businessman warned that he would 'deport' the Duke of Sussex.
Following Harry's claims in his memoir Spare, he revealed he has experimented with drugs including marijuana, magic mushrooms, ayahuasca, and cocaine to try and deal with the death of his mum, Princess Diana. There was speculation that the Duke of Sussex, who resides in California with his family, could be denied US citizenship if he ever applied, as the variety of drugs he admitted to taking are banned or under strict control.
His revelations led to calls for his visa application to be released, so the American taxpayer could understand whether he declared his drug use. It also led to further questions about why he's been allowed to come and reside in the States as drug use is prohibited. The Heritage Foundation, a US think tank, is behind the probe into the Duke's application as it alleges he was given "preferential treatment" to be allowed to enter and reside in the US.

Prince Harry's claims over his previous drug use in his memoir 'Spare' could see him stopped if he ever tries to apply for US citizenshipDiscussing the Prince's visa, President of The Heritage Foundation Kevin Roberts told GB News: "In the United States, we believe that everyone must be treated equally. It has nothing to do with someone's title. One of two things is true, and either of these would be a problem. Either he lied, and the American government let him get away with that and didn't turn him around, or he told the truth and he would be turned around, or at least delayed long enough to figure out about the drug use."

He continued: "There is no doubt in my mind that if in fact he told the truth, that he was given preferential treatment because of who he is, and also because of who the American administration happens to be."
Previously 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." He said: "I wouldn’t protect him. He betrayed the Queen. That’s unforgivable. He would be on his own if it was down to me."

The star's plans to become a permanent US resident wouldn't come without drawbacks though as it's been indicated that if he did plan to take up citizenship then he would potentially need to give up his royal titles.
In order for Harry to secure a US passport, he would have to take the Oath of Allegiance, which requires him to "renounce all allegiance to any foreign prince, state or sovereign." The full oath says: "I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have here to fore been a subject or citizen."
