Donald Trump says Prince Harry would be ‘on his own’ if he becomes US president again

Donald Trump has said Prince Harry will be “on his own” if he wins a second term this year after claiming the Duke of Sussex “betrayed the Queen”.

Speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Saturday, the former president said the Biden administration had been «too gracious» to Harry since he moved to California with Meghan in 2020.

It comes days after Harry told Good Morning America that he has «considered» becoming an American citizen, adding he had «no idea» what was stopping him.

Mr Trump told the Express: “I wouldn’t protect him. He betrayed the Queen. That’s unforgivable. He would be on his own if it was down to me.”

A new book released this year claims the late Queen Elizabeth was infuriated by Harry and Meghan’s claim that she had approved them naming their daughter Lilibet.

In 2021, the Sussexes announced their daughter’s birth and said in a statement that she was named after the Queen, whose family nickname is Lilibet.

However, a new autobiography by royal journalist Robert Hardman has said thelate Queen was “as angry as I’d ever seen her” after the couple stated she had been “supportive” of the name.

Shortly after Lilibet’s name was announced, the BBC reported a palace source saying that the Queen “was not asked by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex about naming their daughter Lilibet”.

Mr Trump’s comments come as fresh controversy surrounds Harry’s immigration status, after a US conservative think tank argued the prince cannot have legally entered the US because he had admitted taking illegal drugs in his memoir.
