Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s post-royal life has been full of twists and turns, as they continue to reveal intimate details about their time as members of the Royal Family. While this has earned them some loyal supporters, it’s also resulted in plenty of criticism and backlash.
Their ongoing media presence, including tell-all interviews, a Netflix documentary, and Harry’s memoir Spare, has left many feeling uncomfortable. Some fans believe they’ve aired too much of their private lives, which has led to negative reactions. But Harry’s admissions, especially about past drug use, may have even more serious implications.
In Spare, Harry openly discusses his experimentation with drugs like cocaine, marijuana, and magic mushrooms, and how these substances helped him escape reality. This openness about his drug use could cause problems, particularly since the Duke of Sussex needed to apply for a U.S. visa when he and Meghan relocated to America. One of the questions on the visa application asks about past drug use, which could lead to the denial of a visa.
Former President Donald Trump has made it clear that if Harry lied on his visa application, there could be consequences, including deportation. But Harry’s troubles don’t end there—there’s now a push to investigate his visa application. The Heritage Foundation has sued the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for access to his immigration records. The foundation argues that if Harry answered truthfully about his drug use, he received special treatment, and if he lied, it would be grounds for action.
Despite the legal issues, Harry has maintained that he deeply regrets publicizing his drug use. Royal expert Tom Quinn believes Harry never anticipated the potential fallout of his confessions. He now feels that being a prince doesn’t provide him with the special treatment he thought it would in the U.S., and he’s come to realize that his past actions could affect his future.
Adding fuel to the fire is Harry’s strained relationship with Donald Trump. Trump has been critical of Harry, saying that he betrayed the Queen, and has suggested that if Harry lied on his visa application, he would take “appropriate action.” If Trump were to take action, it could force Harry and Meghan to leave the U.S. even though they’ve built a life there.
As of now, Harry is not a U.S. citizen, though he’s considered applying for citizenship. However, according to royal expert Hugo Vickers, Harry may already be working on a backup plan in case Trump pushes for his removal from the country.
Harry and Meghan have already endured a great deal of uncertainty, with their relationship facing challenges and reports suggesting that Harry may miss his old life in the UK. Yet, experts believe Harry is committed to making a life for himself and his family in California, despite the challenges they face.
In the midst of all this drama, there’s even speculation that the couple could make a dramatic return to the UK. Some royal experts believe that after years of reflection, Harry may feel a longing for his homeland and could return, even if just for his children to experience their father’s roots.
So, what do you think? Will Harry and Meghan make a surprise return to the UK? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
