There’s no secret that President Donald Trump and the roaming royal, Prince Harry, aren’t exactly on friendly terms.
However, in a strange twist of fate, Trump’s evident annoyance with the Sussexes could inadvertently benefit the prince. A recent YouGov poll revealed that Catherine, Princess of Wales, is the nation’s favorite royal, securing 68 percent of the votes, followed by Prince William at 62 percent.
Harry and Meghan found themselves further down the list, ranking 11th and 15th respectively. It seems we’re not pining for their presence. On a brighter note, they did manage to outdo Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. In 2020, we witnessed ‘Megxit’, as the couple made a dramatic exit to California, seemingly intent on having it all.
The pair seemed to view Royal protocol and tradition as an affront, constantly on the lookout for adversaries and racism. They decided to take on the roles of working royals amidst the glitz and glamour of America’s west coast, reports the Express.
However, the late Queen didn’t share their vision, leading to their decision to step back after announcing their desire for financial independence. The duo, who tied the knot in 2018, retained their Duke and Duchess titles but are no longer referred to as His or Her Royal Highness (HRH). Harry also relinquished his military titles.
They relocated to California in June 2020, expressing their wish for privacy to raise Archie. Their daughter, Lilibet, was born there in 2021. The couple no longer maintains an official UK residence after being asked to leave Frogmore Cottage, a Grade-II listed property on the Windsor estate. At first, they were cashing in handsomely, with books and documentaries exposing private conversations and criticizing family members while the Royal Family remained dignified yet hurt back in Britain.
During their controversial 2021 Oprah Winfrey interview, they implied there were concerns within the Royal Family about Archie’s skin color. The Queen responded with a carefully measured statement, graciously noting that “recollections may vary”. When considering the worst aspects of ‘woke’ culture, that Harry and Meghan interview comes to mind. Two individuals living what many would consider a storybook existence – “you shall marry a prince!” – had the audacity to present themselves as society’s greatest victims. The spectacle remains nauseating.
However, two developments are now troubling the Sussexes more than anything else. First, several of their lucrative financial arrangements have fallen through. Their controversial £100 million Netflix contract has been terminated. Meghan has even returned to acting, though her upcoming film role involves playing herself in a cameo appearance. One wonders what drew her to such a challenging character?
More concerning for Prince Harry, his US immigration status has faced repeated scrutiny from conservatives across the Atlantic due to his previous admissions about drug use including cocaine and marijuana. He enjoyed protection during the Democratic administration, but Trump represents an entirely different situation. Harry holds ‘lawful resident’ status but lacks US citizenship or a green card (permanent resident status). Under a Trump administration, his position becomes precarious.
Trump’s recent State Banquet address at Windsor Castle remains memorable – he praised King Charles for raising a “remarkable son” in Prince William, with Harry notably absent from the tribute. Ouch! Harry’s second worry centers on William’s skillful management of Sarah Ferguson and Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, with the Epstein scandal providing an opportunity to remove the problematic royals permanently. They depart Royal Lodge in the New Year.
However, should the Sussexes face forced repatriation to the UK due to Harry’s visa situation, it would allow Harry to preserve his dignity and return to activities he’s passionate about. He could resume globe-trotting, engaging with Commonwealth representatives, veterans, and Armed Forces personnel – likely regaining his military honors as well. Perhaps he’d rediscover his smile.
Additionally, he could publicly criticize Trump – earning additional favor with progressive supporters – while the President sends them off from LAX’s tarmac. Harry simply needs to determine how to manipulate Donald Trump‘s decision-making, and he’ll reclaim the existence he obviously yearns for and deeply misses.
