Harry's 'extremely foolish' move could see him and Meghan Markle booted out of US

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are said to have "a back up plan" in place if they are kicked out of the US by Donald Trump, who today won the nation's presidential election

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could be kicked out of the US by Donald Trump following an "extremely foolish" move some years ago.

Duke of Sussex has in the past detailed his experiences with psychedelic drugs, a confession which could rule havoc for his Visa. The father of two spoke, in his memoir Spare, about taking magic mushrooms at a party in Hollywood, Los Angeles and marijuana on other occasions.

Royal experts have blasted the admission, as it could now prove very cosrtly for Harry and Meghan. Richard Fitzwilliams, a royal commentator, said: "Harry was extremely foolish to discuss his drug taking in Spare both in interviews and in the memoir, available in paperback. However, the Sussexes have kept a relatively low profile during the election, urging Americans to vote but not being explicit as to whom for.

"At one time it was thought that Meghan might enter politics but we have seen no sign of this. It is most unlikely that Trump would risk an embarrassing episode involving the royal family by expelling Harry, if it was discovered that he had not revealed his drug taking on his Visa application.”

During an interview with GB News earlier this year, Trump was quizzed by Nigel Farage as to whether there would be any "special privileges" for Harry. Trump, who was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records back in May, replied: "No. We’ll have to see if they know something about the drugs, and if he lied they’ll have to take appropriate action."

Farage then pressed: “Appropriate action? Which might mean…not staying in America?” Considering this, Trump responded: “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."

But it is understood the royal couple, who moved to the US in 2020, have a "back up plan" in place, with preparations already in place should the worst come to pass. This is thought to be finding residency in Portugal, where they have a new holiday home. It is close to one owned by Harry's beloved younger cousin, Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank.

In one memorable passage of Spare, released in January 2023, Harry recounted an experience with magic mushrooms at a Hollywood party, remembering: "I stared at the bin. It stared back. 'What-staring? ' Then it became... a head. I stepped on the pedal and the head opened its mouth. A huge open grin."

With a candidness rarely seen among senior members of the royal family, the father of two also confessed that, while cocaine 'didn't do anything' for him, "Marijuana is different, that actually really did help me."
