Former President Donald Trump is reportedly prepared to back legal action against Prince Harry if it is found that the Duke of Sussex misrepresented his past drug use on his U.S. visa application, according to GB News.

While sources close to Trump indicate he has no plans to call for Harry’s deportation, they claim he is committed to ensuring “transparency” in the case and would support prosecution if any wrongdoing is uncovered.

This latest development comes amid an ongoing legal battle led by a Washington-based think tank, which is pushing for the release of Prince Harry’s visa records. The group argues that the public has a right to know whether the British royal received preferential treatment when applying for U.S. residency.

Adding to the scrutiny, U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols has ruled that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) must disclose details of a private legal discussion related to Harry’s immigration status. The ruling marks a significant step in the case, potentially bringing more details of the prince’s visa application into public view.

Under U.S. immigration law, providing false information about drug use on a visa application can carry serious consequences, including fines, deportation, or even imprisonment. The controversy stems from Prince Harry’s own admissions in his 2023 memoir, Spare, where he openly discussed using cocaine, marijuana, and psychedelic mushrooms in his younger years.

His revelations have raised questions about whether he was fully transparent about his drug history when applying to live in the United States. Although the Biden administration has not pursued any action against Harry, conservative figures and legal experts have argued that any discrepancies in his application should be addressed.

Trump’s reported willingness to support legal consequences for the Duke of Sussex further fuels speculation about how the case could unfold, particularly if Trump returns to office in 2025. The debate over Harry’s immigration status has also reignited discussions about fairness in the U.S. visa system.

Critics argue that wealthy and high-profile individuals often receive leniency in their applications, while ordinary applicants face stricter scrutiny. For now, Prince Harry has remained silent on the legal battle surrounding his visa status.

Meanwhile, supporters of the Duke argue that the investigation is politically motivated and part of a broader campaign against him and his wife, Meghan Markle. As pressure mounts for DHS to reveal more details, all eyes will be on whether the agency’s disclosures lead to further legal challenges—or if the controversy will eventually fade away.
