U.S. President Donald Trump said he would allow Britain’s Prince Harry to remain in the United States despite controversy over his visa status, suggesting the royal has enough trouble from his "terrible" wife, Meghan Markle.
In an interview with the New York Post published Saturday, Trump dismissed calls from conservative groups to deport Harry over allegations that he lied about past drug use on his immigration forms. “I don’t want to do that. I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible,” Trump said.
The remarks came as Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, made a public appearance at the Invictus Games in Canada, where they were seen displaying affection and sharing a kiss, countering ongoing speculation about marital strain.

Harry has been at the center of a legal battle led by the pro-Trump Heritage Foundation, which is suing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to disclose details about his visa application. The group argues that Harry may have received preferential treatment from the Biden administration after he publicly admitted to past drug use—something that could typically disqualify an applicant. DHS has refused to release the records, citing privacy laws.

Meanwhile, British tabloids have reported that Harry is struggling with life in the U.S., feeling isolated and missing his family back home. Meghan, by contrast, has faced renewed scrutiny, with some former staffers calling her a “dictator in high heels” and alleging a toxic work environment. Vanity Fair cited ex-employees who said they had to take extended breaks or undergo therapy after working with her.
While Harry and Meghan have not publicly responded to Trump’s comments, the couple continues to push back against media speculation about their relationship and professional lives.
