Prince Harry is being warned by several royal experts to keep his head down and focus on charitable efforts after President Trump’s remarks about the royal and his wife.
Trump said on Friday that he isn’t interested in deporting the Duke of Sussex, who famously left Britain with Meghan Markle in 2020 and moved to California. The statements came on the same day the Duke and Duchess of Sussex touched down in Vancouver to kick off the Invictus Games.
Harry, 40, is in hot water after conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation filed a lawsuit last year against the Department of Homeland Security to have his immigration records released, following his admission to past illegal drug use in his 2023 memoir “Spare.”

When asked by the New York Post if he would deport the royal, Trump replied, “I’ll leave him alone.”
“He’s got enough problems with his wife,” said the 78-year-old. “She’s terrible.”

Royal expert Hilary Fordwich told Digital that this would be the perfect time for the Sussexes, particularly Harry, to focus on creating “consistent, transparent, and impactful work” to revamp their image as royals in America.Â
Since their move to California, the couple has aired their struggles with royal life.
“Limiting public discussions regarding personal grievances would be advised to shift the narrative back onto their charitable endeavors,” said Fordwich. “Letting the work speak for itself could rebuild public trust.”

A British broadcaster and photographer also noted that Trump is known to admire the British royal family and “won’t unnecessarily jeopardize” his relationship with working members.
