The long-standing feud between the 45th (and potential future) President, Donald Trump, and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has just reached a boiling point. In a move that has sent shockwaves across both sides of the Atlantic, Trump has finally weighed in on the burning question: Would he deport Prince Harry?
His answer was as “Trumpian” as it gets—blunt, unfiltered, and laced with a heavy dose of shade directed at Meghan Markle.
The Quote That Set the Internet on Fire
During a recent sit-down, when questioned about Prince Harry’s legal status in the United States and the ongoing controversy surrounding his visa application, Trump didn’t hold back. While many expected a strictly political answer, Trump took a personal turn.
“I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible,” Trump remarked, effectively shifting the spotlight from immigration law to the Sussexes’ marriage.
For those following the saga, this isn’t just a random insult. It’s the latest chapter in a decade-long clash between the billionaire-politician and the former Suits actress.
Why Is Prince Harry’s Visa Under Fire?
To understand why this matters for NewsTigo readers, we have to look back at Harry’s memoir, Spare. In the book, the Duke of Sussex admitted to past drug use—a confession that usually makes getting a U.S. visa incredibly difficult, if not impossible, for regular citizens.
Conservative think tanks in Washington have been pushing for the release of Harry’s visa records, arguing that he may have received “special treatment.” Trump’s latest comments suggest that while he sees the legal opening to be tough on Harry, he’s choosing to “pity” him instead—blaming his current situation entirely on his relationship with Meghan.
“She’s Terrible”: A History of Friction
Why does Trump have such a strong opinion of Meghan Markle? The friction dates back to 2016 when Meghan called Trump “divisive” and “misogynistic” during his first presidential campaign.
Since then, Trump has never missed an opportunity to fire back. From calling her “no fan” to wishing Harry “good luck” (with a hint of sarcasm) after their royal exit, the former President has consistently painted Meghan as the “architect” of Harry’s downfall. By calling her “terrible” in this latest interview, Trump is doubling down on his narrative that Harry is more of a “victim” than a “villain.”
The 2026 Political Landscape: What Happens Next?
As we move further into 2026, the “Sussex Problem” is becoming a strange but significant talking point in U.S. politics. If Trump secures another term, Harry’s life in Montecito could become legally complicated.
However, by saying he would “leave him alone,” Trump might be signaling a shift. Is it a sign of mercy, or is it just a clever way to keep the headlines focused on the royal drama rather than dry immigration policy? One thing is for sure: the Sussexes’ “American Dream” is still very much tied to the shifting political winds of Washington, D.C.
The NewsTigo Verdict
Whether you’re Team Sussex or Team Trump, there’s no denying that this is the ultimate clash of two massive brands. Harry and Meghan have spent years trying to build a “brand of peace” in California, but as long as figures like Trump are in the picture, their past will always be just one interview away from becoming a national headline.
