Nigel Farage has reignited attention around Meghan Markle after making a cheeky remark about potentially sending the Duchess of Sussex back to the United States.
The Reform UK leader made the comment while discussing Prince Harry and Meghan’s recent return to Britain. Speaking during an appearance on US commentator Benny Johnson’s podcast, Farage criticised the couple’s conduct and then joked that Meghan could be sent back to America if he ever became prime minister.
Farage said he had begun to feel sympathy for Harry, while describing the Duke’s life since meeting Meghan in strongly critical terms. He also referred to Harry as someone who had once been extremely popular with the British public before his relationship with Meghan.
Johnson then raised the idea of Meghan being deported, prompting Farage to respond with a light-hearted comment suggesting that she “might” be sent back if he were in charge.
The exchange quickly attracted attention because of the couple’s long-running relationship with the British royal establishment and their decision to step away from senior royal duties in 2020 before establishing their life in the United States.
Harry and Meghan returned to Britain in August and have since been living in the Cotswolds with their children. Their return has generated renewed media interest in their relationship with the Royal Family and their future links to the UK.
Farage’s latest remarks were made in a political and comedic context and should not be confused with an actual deportation order. His comment was a joke about what could happen if he eventually became prime minister.
The Reform UK leader also described the behaviour of Harry and Meghan as an “absolute disgrace” and said he believed Harry had made what he called a “bad life choice.” These comments reflect Farage’s personal criticism of the couple rather than an official government position.
The remarks have nevertheless added another unexpected chapter to the ongoing public debate surrounding Harry and Meghan, particularly as their renewed presence in Britain continues to attract political and royal attention.
