Now, if you haven’t heard of Nile Gardiner, let me fill you in. He’s no random commentator. He’s a heavyweight with the Heritage Foundation, and he’s now calling for something that many of us have been wondering about for a while: the potential deportation of Prince Harry.
When I first heard this news, I was sitting at my kitchen table, sipping my morning coffee, and I had to do a double-take. Here’s the thing: we’ve all been talking about this visa issue for what feels like forever. And now, there’s serious talk that Harry might not have properly filled out his visa paperwork. Can you imagine? Just not filling it out as if the rules don’t apply to you because you're royal? It’s like the kid who thinks they can skip their homework because their parent is on the school board. Except, this isn’t homework—this is federal immigration law. And trust me, Uncle Sam doesn’t care if you’re a prince.
Remember when Harry and Meghan decided to take on Meta? The couple made it clear that they want to be the internet’s royal censors. Think about this: these two left the royal family for privacy and freedom, right? But now they’re out here trying to tell one of the biggest tech companies how to run its business. The audacity!
And this is where Nile Gardiner’s comments hit home. He points out something we all should see: you can’t claim to be above politics when you’re royal and then dive headfirst into political issues in America while still holding on to your royal titles. Just yesterday, I was explaining this to my neighbor—who isn’t even into royal news—and she immediately said, "So they want to be American royalty?" And that’s exactly it! They’ve been positioning themselves as an American alternative to the British royal family. But here’s the thing: America fought a whole revolution to get rid of royalty. We don’t do kings and queens here, especially not self-appointed ones who want to dictate online speech.
Now let’s talk timing, because this is key. Right when they’re under scrutiny for their visa issue, they decide to pick a fight with Meta. It’s like they’re using the oldest trick in the book: create a bigger scandal to distract from the original one. But we see right through it, and we’re not falling for it.
What’s fascinating about all this is how it shows their true nature. Remember when they first came to America? All those grand promises about content creation, about changing the world, about being forces for good. And what have we actually seen? Attack after attack, complaint after complaint. Now they’re trying to tell social media platforms how to run their business. The hypocrisy is stunning. They’re lecturing Meta about integrity when their own story changes more often than my neighbor changes her mind about her garden plans!
This whole situation is now about more than just Harry’s visa—it’s about setting a precedent. If someone can skip proper visa procedures just because of who their father is, and then try to influence major political issues, that’s not just wrong, it’s dangerous.
Let’s talk about Meghan’s role here, too. Do you really believe Harry came up with this Meta attack all by himself? This has Meghan’s fingerprints all over it. It’s like they think they’re playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers. But here’s the thing: we can all see the moves they’re making.
Now, what really gets me is how they’re trying to control the narrative, trying to silence voices they don’t agree with, and exerting influence where they have no business doing so. After covering royal news for years, I’ve never seen anything quite like this. They’re trying to build their empire here in America, but they’re starting with the roof instead of the foundation. And in America, the foundation is following the law—immigration law included.
The audacity of these two, trying to referee a game they’re not even qualified to play in. Remember when they first left the royal family and everyone was saying, “Let’s see what they do with their freedom”? Well, here we are. They’ve created their own little kingdom here in America, complete with their own rules about what people can say online.
If Nile Gardiner follows through and brings this to Trump’s attention—assuming he wins—we could be looking at the unprecedented situation of a British royal being deported from the U.S. Imagine the headlines! But maybe that’s exactly what needs to happen. Maybe we need to send a message that being royal doesn’t put you above the law—especially not in America.
The contrast couldn’t be more stark. While Catherine handles her personal health challenges with grace, Harry and Meghan are stirring up controversy. On one side, you have true nobility by actions, not just title. On the other side, well, we all know what’s going on there.
And you know what’s really interesting about all this? It’s exposing the contradictions at the heart of their American adventure. They want privacy when it suits them, but they also want to wield influence like they’re still working royals when that benefits them. Sorry, but it doesn’t work that way.
