[TheMix] Donald Trump has officially won the 2024 presidential election over Kamala Harris. This could have major implications for British royals Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who are in the midst of a precarious visa battle.HARRY’S VISA BATTLE
Ever since he moved to Southern California back in 2020, Harry has been trying to become a U.S. citizen. Harry’s visa application has since come under scrutiny after the royal admitted in his memoir Spare to using cocaine, smoking marijuana, and experimenting with magic mushrooms as a teenager.
Back in February, Trump spoke out to say that President Joe Biden had been “too gracious” to Harry since his move to California.
Now that Trump is going to be president again, however, Harry’s dreams of U.S. citizenship may be dead in the water.
“I wouldn’t protect him,” Trump has said of Harry. “He betrayed the Queen. That’s unforgivable. He would be on his own if it was down to me.”
Before the election, Trump’s son Eric spoke out to say that Harry’s U.S. visa is only safe because “no one cares” about him. He added that his father “loved” Queen Elizabeth and was deeply disturbed by the stress that Harry and Meghan caused her in her final years.
“Truthfully I don’t give a damn about Prince Harry and I don’t think this country does either,” Eric said, going on to suggest that Harry had “gone off the deep end and it’s sad to watch.”
Eric Trump said that Americans, himself included, don’t give a damn what Prince Harry and Meghan Markle think.
TRUMP’S HISTORY WITH HARRY AND MEGHAN
There’s no love lost between Trump and the royal Sussexes. Indeed, before marrying Harry, Meghan was a Hollywood actress who was outspoken about her anti-Trump views.
“Yes, of course, Trump is divisive, think about female voters alone, right?” Meghan said in a 2016 interview with talk show host Larry Wilmore. “I think it was in 2012 the Republican Party lost the female vote by 12 points; that is a huge number and with as misogynistic as Trump is, and so vocal about it, that is a huge chunk of it.”
“You’re not just voting for a woman if it’s Hillary because she’s a woman, but certainly because Trump has made it easy to see that you don’t really want that kind of world that he’s painting,” she added
| *shrug* The Sussexes did just buy a house in Portugal on the ocean near his cousin, so that the royal-ish children could play together. (I’ve lost track of whose children are still princes and princesses, and which merely lord/lady or Honourables, not that it really matters) But that means if Duke Harry can’t stay in America, he and the fam have a place to go. |
