What Happens to Harry & Meghan if Trump Wins Again? A Legal Perspective
The question on everyone's mind: what happens to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle if Donald Trump is elected again? Well, it just happened, and it’s time to dive into the implications. Let’s break it down with expert insights, starting with a conversation between Andy Signore and legal analyst John Witherspoon.
The big news —Trump has won. It’s a major moment, especially for the Royals. Now, we don’t typically dive into politics on this channel, but it's hard to ignore the impact this might have on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. So, John, I wanted your legal perspective.
Let’s start by talking about the absence of an endorsement from Harry and Meghan during this election. It was definitely surprising that we didn’t see a massive public support for Kamala Harris or any other candidate from them, especially after they’ve been vocal in the past about left-leaning causes.
That’s right. They’ve gotten involved in politics before. Remember when they encouraged voter registration? There was also that incident with California Governor Gavin Newsom defending them regarding some paperwork issues, as well as the online links they shared, which were connected to left-wing organizations. So, not seeing an endorsement from them this time is a bit out of character.
What do you think? Were they being strategic by staying quiet? Did they learn to stay out of this type of drama?
It's interesting, too, because Donald Trump has been vocal about his dislike for Harry, especially in relation to his public disagreements with the late Queen Elizabeth. And while Trump’s feelings are clear, one of his sons—either Don Jr. or Eric—recently commented about Harry and Meghan, implying that Trump doesn’t care about them and won’t waste time on them. But here’s the question: should Harry be worried?
Honestly, I think Harry should be more worried now that Trump has won. Trump’s awareness of Harry’s actions makes him a bit of a target. And, even though Trump likely won’t interfere with any pending legal matters, the situation could change if the Heritage Foundation or other entities push for further investigation into Harry’s immigration status.
If the case does go to an appeals panel and Heritage Foundation is allowed to review the documents related to Harry’s visa application, we could see the Trump administration’s approach to these matters shift. A Trump-era Homeland Security or State Department might not be as sympathetic toward Harry as previous administrations were, which could make his legal situation more complicated.
It’s likely that any new Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests related to Harry’s visa would be treated differently under a Trump administration, which could put pressure on the process.
It’s true that Harry’s visa issue might not be a top priority for Trump. After all, there are other pressing concerns, but it’s not something that should be entirely overlooked. While it may not be high on Trump’s list, the situation could escalate if Harry and Meghan continue to face challenges with their public and legal standing.
If push comes to shove, will Trump step in? I think we’ll have to wait and see. But it’s clear that a Trump victory doesn’t help their cause, especially with his known stance on the Royals.
Now, let's dive into a bit of speculation. If Trump were to take action, would Harry and Meghan be forced to leave the US? Would they choose to relocate to another country like Portugal, or could they split up, with Harry leaving and Meghan staying behind? There’s been plenty of talk about that, and it's certainly an interesting angle.
While we don’t know for sure what they’d do, it’s possible that Meghan, who has faced plenty of scrutiny in the U.S., might prefer to stay in California, while Harry could consider moving elsewhere.
In the end, I think it’s important to care about Harry’s visa situation, even if it doesn’t seem like a top priority for everyone. The implications could be significant, and it’s worth considering how this will unfold in the next few years, especially with Trump back in power.
