Prince Harry was pointing the finger at the media for his visa issues. Now, by midday, he's apparently shifting the blame to William. This is classic Sussex behavior—always finding someone else to hold accountable. First, it's the press, then it's his brother, and next, it'll probably be the Queen’s corgis or her favorite teacup. Anything to avoid looking in the mirror!
Let’s be real—if Harry is facing visa problems, there’s only one person responsible: himself. It was Harry who chose to write Spare, where he openly admitted to drug use. What kind of royal—even a "spare"—thinks it’s a good idea to publicly confess to using narcotics, especially when trying to maintain residency in another country? Was he trying to be relatable?
And let's be honest—who do we think encouraged this move? I can easily picture Meghan urging him on: "Babe, you should totally talk about your past. It'll make you seem progressive and modern!" As if openly admitting to illegal drug use on a global platform is a strategic PR move when dealing with U.S. immigration laws. Even the most inexperienced immigration lawyer would have advised against it! But no, Harry had to showcase his "authenticity." Well, congratulations—he's now authentically facing a legal headache that was entirely avoidable.
Now, the latest spin is that William could have intervened but didn’t. The claim suggests that William could have helped Harry avoid these visa problems by advocating on his behalf. Seriously? The audacity! Wasn't Harry the one who wanted nothing to do with his family? Wasn't the whole point of Oprah, the Netflix documentary, and his memoir to paint the royals as villains? For years, Harry has pushed the narrative that his family abandoned him—so why should William suddenly be responsible for bailing him out now?
And why William, specifically? If we’re going to entertain this blame game, wouldn’t it make more sense to argue that King Charles should have stepped in? After all, he's the monarch. Oh, wait—I forgot, Harry (or at least his allies) has already played into the narrative that Charles is a "racist." Remember the fiasco with Omid Scobie’s book Endgame? That convenient Dutch translation that outed Charles as the so-called "royal racist"? A convenient "mistake," wasn’t it?
This new claim stems from a Daily Mail editor-at-large who told GB News that when Trump met with William a few months ago, people speculated whether William pleaded with him not to deport Harry. First off, does anyone seriously believe that William and Trump spent their limited time discussing Harry’s immigration status? William has a future throne to prepare for—he’s not wasting time cleaning up his brother’s mess.
The reality is, William has remained dignified and silent throughout this entire saga while Harry and Meghan have continued to throw accusations at the royal family. William has been supporting his wife, Catherine, through her cancer treatment, standing by King Charles amid his own health struggles, and continuing his royal duties with grace and commitment. That’s what true leadership looks like—not running to the media to blame others for personal failures.
Let’s not lose sight of the core issue here: Harry admitted to drug use in a book that he chose to publish. U.S. immigration law is strict about drug use, and now there are legitimate questions about whether he was truthful on his visa application. That’s it. That’s the whole story. Everything else is just Sussex spin, attempting—yet again—to make Harry the victim.
And let’s talk about timing—suspicious, isn’t it? Harry and Meghan’s popularity is at an all-time low. Their Netflix deal is reportedly on the rocks. Their attempts at rebranding have flopped. So what do they do? Stir up another royal controversy to stay relevant. We’ve seen this playbook before, haven’t we?
What’s truly disheartening is that while William has been dealing with real struggles—his wife’s illness, his father’s health, and his growing royal responsibilities—Harry has been across the Atlantic, launching yet another blame campaign. Does Harry ever stop to consider the pain he's causing his family? Does he ever think about the brotherly bond they once shared—the way William protected him after their mother’s death, the way they once worked together as "The Fab Four" before Meghan entered the picture and everything unraveled?
But no, it’s easier to blame William than to accept responsibility. It’s easier to play the victim than to acknowledge poor choices. It’s easier to create another scandal than to make amends.
And where is Meghan in all this? Quietly supporting her husband? Hardly. She’s probably busy planning their next PR stunt or crafting another speech about how difficult her life is. These two are so predictable, it would be laughable if it weren’t so tragic.
The truth is, Harry’s visa problems are entirely of his own making. If he misrepresented facts on his application and is now facing consequences, that’s on him. If he’s worried about deportation, he should be consulting a legal team—not whining to the media or blaming his brother. William isn’t responsible for fixing Harry’s problems anymore. Harry made sure of that when he walked away from his family.
And here’s the kicker—Harry and Meghan left the UK under the pretense of wanting "privacy." Yet, ever since landing in California, they’ve done nothing but chase headlines. They left because of the "toxic British press," yet they’ve launched multiple lawsuits that keep them in the news cycle. They claimed they wanted "freedom," yet they seem incapable of moving forward without dragging the royal family into every aspect of their narrative.
Meanwhile, the working royals—William, Catherine, Charles, and Camilla—have continued to serve the British people with dignity. They’ve faced personal hardships but have carried on with grace. And what have Harry and Meghan accomplished? A failed podcast, a Netflix series that flopped, and a memoir that may now be leading to legal trouble. Who's really winning here?
If Harry wants to fix his visa issues, he should take responsibility, hire competent lawyers, and stop blaming others. But we all know that’s not going to happen—the Sussex blame game is too deeply ingrained at this point.
And let’s be clear—if Harry were deported (which, let’s face it, Trump has already said isn’t happening), William wouldn’t be celebrating. Despite everything, I believe William still cares about his brother. But caring for someone doesn’t mean rescuing them from the consequences of their own actions. Sometimes, the most loving thing you can do is let someone face reality.
The saddest part of all this? It didn’t have to be this way. Harry could have stepped back from royal duties without burning bridges. He could have moved to America without trashing his family. He could have built a future without making William the villain in his story. But he made his choice, and now he must live with it—visa issues and all.
As for William, he will continue to rise above it all. He will continue to focus on his family, his future role, and his duty to the British people. His silence speaks volumes about his character and his suitability as a future king.
So there you have it, folks—another day, another Sussex drama, another attempt to shift blame. It would be exhausting if it weren’t so predictable. William will keep leading with grace, while Harry sinks deeper into self-inflicted chaos.
