Let’s dive into the real reason Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are afraid of newly reelected President Donald Trump.
If you’ve been paying attention, you’ll have heard the news that Donald Trump has been reelected as president of the United States. Now, let’s talk about the complicated history between Trump, Meghan Markle, and Prince Harry, and I’ll explain why they might be seriously afraid of his return to power.
Let’s rewind to May 2016, when Meghan Markle appeared on The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore. In this interview, she made some pretty bold comments about Donald Trump, calling him divisive and misogynistic. She specifically pointed out how Trump’s attitude toward women could impact female voters, referencing the Republican Party’s loss of the female vote in 2012. Meghan’s harsh words were clear: she didn’t support Trump.
Well, fast forward to 2019, and President Trump responded to these comments, admitting he hadn’t heard them before, but he was not pleased. He called Meghan "nasty" and made it clear that he wasn’t a fan. Now, let’s face it: antagonizing the most powerful man in the world, especially when you’re a member of the British royal family, isn’t exactly the best move.
In January 2020, when Meghan and Harry announced they were stepping down from royal duties, Trump didn’t hold back. In an interview, he expressed that he thought their decision was "sad" but also accused them of blindsiding the Queen, saying it was a bad move. Trump’s disapproval of their royal exit wasn’t subtle.
But it didn’t stop there. Meghan had been warned that Trump would respond to any criticism, and when she publicly criticized him, he made it clear that she would be "fair game" for his wrath. This is where the real fear begins, especially now that Trump has been reelected.
One of the biggest reasons Meghan and Harry might be worried is the ongoing visa saga. As we know, Trump has made it clear that he will not offer the same protection to the couple as the Biden administration has. In fact, he’s already said that if he were in charge, he wouldn’t have protected them during their time in the U.S. It’s not hard to imagine that with Trump’s return to power, there could be serious consequences for their visa status.
In 2020, when asked about Harry and Meghan encouraging people to vote for Joe Biden, Trump didn’t mince words. He said he wasn’t a fan of Meghan and felt that Harry had been "used horribly." He also expressed concern that their actions had ruined Harry’s relationship with his family. His message was clear: Harry’s life had taken a bad turn, and Trump predicted it would end badly.
In 2021, during an interview with Nigel Farage, Trump didn’t hold back either. He said Meghan was disrespectful to the Queen, and he predicted Harry would eventually regret his decisions. He also claimed that Harry was being "led around by his nose" by Meghan. It’s pretty clear that Trump doesn’t have any love for the couple, and now, with his reelection, their fear of him has only grown.
Trump’s reaction to Meghan’s disrespect toward the Queen was strong. He expressed surprise that Meghan had even been invited to the Queen’s coronation, given how she had treated the monarch. This sets the stage for Trump’s attitude towards Meghan and Harry—one of disrespect and disdain.
Now, with Trump’s reelection, things are looking even worse for Meghan and Harry. Trump has been very vocal about the issues surrounding their visas and security. He’s even suggested that if he were president, Harry wouldn’t be protected by the U.S. government, unlike during Biden’s administration. In fact, he’s made it clear that he wouldn’t provide security for them and that he felt the situation surrounding their move to the U.S. wasn’t a good one.
The Heritage Foundation is pushing to obtain Prince Harry’s visa records, and with Trump’s comments, it seems likely that this request could be approved under his administration. Trump has already stated that if he had control, he would ensure that the couple’s visa situation was thoroughly investigated. This is one of the key reasons why Meghan and Harry should be worried—if Trump has his way, they could be facing a serious legal challenge regarding their U.S. residency.
Trump has been very vocal about his dislike for how Meghan and Harry have handled their royal duties, and it’s not hard to imagine that if any impropriety is found in Harry’s visa application, Trump might push for it to be revoked. This creates a real nightmare for the couple, as their future in the U.S. is now uncertain, and with Trump back in power, they may not have the same protections they once enjoyed.
So, the real reason Meghan and Harry are likely afraid of President Trump’s reelection is that their U.S. residency is now in jeopardy. With his history of outspoken comments about them and his determination to hold them accountable for their actions, it’s clear that Trump is not backing down. If the visa situation goes further, they could face serious consequences.
As things stand, it looks like their time in the U.S. may not be as secure as they once thought. And with Trump’s return to office, they might be facing some tough decisions ahead.
