Prince Harry and Meghan Markle vow to 'fight deportation' and will 'never leave' US

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have no intention of relocating from their Californian base, prepared to contest any potential deportation bids, as disclosed by Express.co.uk. A source with close connections indicated the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have firmly entrenched California as their residence and are resolved to stay despite any risk of expulsion from the United States.

"There are no plans [for the Sussexes] to move from the US," asserted one insider. Another source commented: "Harry and Meghan feel at home in California, and they won't be leaving there without a fight."

Adding that, "They have a very good legal team, and they have a lot of support behind them to ensure that they will be able to remain in the United States."

Currently, Prince Harry, aged 40, is embroiled in legal action regarding his immigration status in the US.

In his autobiography 'Spare', he confessed to previous substance use which includes cocaine, cannabis and psychedelic mushrooms; such admissions might lead to a rejection of his visa application. The Heritage Foundation, a right-wing policy institute, is demanding to see Harry's visa documents, insisting that his drug use should have prevented his entry into America, reports the Express.

Although a court has recently decided Harry's visa files are to remain private, this aspect could undergo change were Donald Trump to assume the presidency once again. President-elect Trump, who is 78, previously hinted this year he may contemplate deporting Harry should visa-related complications arise.

"I wouldn't protect him. He betrayed the Queen. That's unforgivable. He would be on his own," the president-elect remarked at the Conservative Political Action Conference in February. Following Donald Trump's victory, reports have come out suggesting that his past comments about deporting Harry might have worried the Sussexes.

However, insiders claim that "Harry and Meghan are not fazed by the comments Trump made because they believe they have done everything correctly," adding, "Meghan is a US citizen, and Archie has just started a new school, so to leave the place they call home isn't even an option."

Settled in Montecito since stepping down from Royal duties, the couple has allegedly bought a lavish £3.6 million villa in Portugal, not far from Princess Eugenie's holiday spot. But sources say, "The villa in Portugal is more an investment than anything else and construction hasn't even been completed yet," clarifying that the property is intended as a second home, a haven for vacations, and a wise fiscal endeavour rather than a main residence.
