Heritage Foundation fuels speculation Trump may deport Prince Harry if he wins 2024 election

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Right-wing think tank Heritage Foundation claimed that the case for GOP nominee Donald Trump to deport Prince Harry "just got a lot more compelling", reported Newsweek on Sunday, September 29.

The statement came in the aftermath of the foundation suing the federal administration to access Harry's visa application. The attempt was to determine if the prince had lied about his past use of drugs.

In his memoir 'Spare', Harry opened up about partaking in cannabis, magic mushrooms, ayahuasca, and cocaine. However, the judge ruled against the foundation and partially redacted a memorandum that held Harry's privacy over the public's right to know.

The redactions have been labeled "suspicious" by Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project, as they claimed the former president could deport the prince if he is reinstated in the White House following the November election.

Heritage Foundation's statement on Prince Harry

Earlier this week, the executive director of the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project Mike Howell shared a statement with Newsweek that read, "The Prince Harry scandal just got a lot more suspicious."

"While our case is far from over as we explore appeal, I'd say that these very curious redactions point to something serious afoot. President Trump has already suggested that Prince Harry will be deported next year and the case for that just got a lot more compelling."

"Americans deserve an immigration system with both secure borders and also fairly applied rules for high-profile immigrants like Harry," it continued.

"It certainly appears that Harry was given special treatment and now we know it for something so serious that it involves extensive redactions."

"Americans will know the full story soon enough. Perhaps Mr and Mrs Markle will tell us what's beneath the redactions on their next Netflix special," added the statement.

What did Donald Trump say about Prince Harry?

While Donald Trump has never declared his intention of deporting Prince Harry, he had suggested considering intervening in the situation back in March.

Trump was asked to share his take on the issue during an interview with GB News, when he said, "We'll have to see if they know something about the drugs, and if he lied they'll have to take appropriate action."

As he was pressed to clarify if it meant Harry had to leave the United States, Trump added, "Oh I don't know. You'll have to tell me. You just have to tell me. You would have thought they would have known this a long time ago."

However, in light of recent developments, a Trump spokesperson told Newsweek, "The Heritage Foundation does not speak for President Trump."
