Meghan Markle may be the reason behind the tension between Prince Harry and Donald Trump. A royal photographer suggested that Harry, known for being friendly, could have had a better relationship with Trump if he were still part of the British royal family.
Tensions Between the Sussexes, Trump, and the Royals
The complex relationships between Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, Donald Trump, and the British royal family have become more noticeable, especially with Trump preparing to take office in January 2025. His victory in the November 2024 election has brought more attention to these issues.
The Legal Battle Over Prince Harry’s US Visa
In addition to the ongoing tensions, Prince Harry faces a legal battle over his US visa. The Heritage Foundation is challenging his stay in America due to his drug use admissions in his memoir Spare. As Trump prepares to take office, the Foundation hopes he will disclose Harry’s immigration records. They are suing the Biden administration, claiming Harry entered the US improperly. They are now urging Trump to take action.
Why Harry Doesn’t Get Along With Trump
Meanwhile, Arthur Edwards, a royal photographer, believes Meghan Markle is the main reason why Harry doesn’t get along with Trump. Edwards stated on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive Show, “I think Meghan doesn’t get on with him. That’s probably why Harry doesn’t get on with him.” He added that Harry is generally a “pretty affable guy” and would have done his job properly if he were still working with the royal family during an official visit from Trump.
Respect for the US President
Furthermore, Edwards emphasized the importance of respecting the US president, regardless of who holds the office. He explained, “You’re dealing with the President of the United States, a very powerful role. It doesn’t matter who’s the president — he’s the elected representative of the most powerful country in the world. He’s the leader of the free world — a man you should respect and cater for.”
Trump and Prince William’s Recent Meeting
Edwards’ comments follow a recent meeting between Donald Trump and Prince William. The two spoke during the reopening of Notre Dame in Paris, their first meeting since 2019. They discussed the US-UK “special relationship,” and Trump asked about Kate Middleton’s health and King Charles III’s condition.
Growing Speculation on Harry’s Visa Status
Following this, speculation about Prince Harry’s visa status grew. Royal experts speculated that the positive interaction between Trump and William might make the Sussexes “nervous,” especially considering Harry’s ongoing legal issues.
