Prince Harry's deportation from the US would be a "circus" according to a royal commentator, as he claimed there is no realistic prospect of the Duke of Sussex's expulsion.
The Duke of Sussex's US visa documents are at the centre of a court battle.
The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, is taking legal action against the Department of Homeland Security in a bid to force officials to release Harry's visa documents.
The organisation wants to see if the royal admitted to using illegal drugs before gaining a US visa.

In his memoir, the Duke of Sussex said he had taken cocaine, magic mushrooms and cannabis.
US immigration law has harsh penalties for lying to immigration officials, including deportation and being barred from applying for citizenship.
However, commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told GB News Harry's status as a member of the Royal Family would prevent him from being deported.
Fitzwilliams said: “There is the possibility of the documents being released and made public.

“The American ambassador has made clear that there will be no such move and in reality there was never going to be.
“You could not deport a royal, it would be silly, and it would become a circus.
“People will speculate about it and that is why Harry was so unwise to discuss drugs in the way he did with the publicity surrounding Spare.”
London-based US immigration lawyer Melissa Chavin stated that Harry may have received an "A-1 Head of State" visa.

Chavin described that specific type of visa as being "extremely special" during an interview with the Mail.
An A-1 Head of State visa holder is free to come to the US without working as a member of the Royal Family or holding the position of head of state.
If Harry did receive the special visa he would have only been vetted for espionage, sabotage, terrorist activities and opposition to US Government.
The Duke of Sussex would not have been vetted for past abuse of drugs, addiction, or crimes related to drugs and his admissions in Spare would not affect his visa.
