Prince Harry’s visa issue ‘is on Trump’s mind’ as president-elect’s son drops hint of intentions

The fractured relationship between the President-elect and the Sussexes was made clear in 2020, when the couple urged American voters to stay clear of Trump, urging them to "reject hate speech, misinformation and online negativity".

The Heritage Foundation has previously attempted to release Harry's visa documents to the public, but a US judge denied the group their claim, concluding that the Duke of Sussex still "has privacy rights regarding his immigration status".

Speaking to GB News, royal commentator Lee Cohen claimed that although the investigation is "not a priority right now" for the incoming President, it is something that is "on his mind".

Cohen told host Nana Akua: "It sure seems like divine justice or karma that the fortunes of the Sussexes have taken such a turn over the past year. Bad behaviour and bad judgment have been catching up with them.

"With Donald Trump's historic landmark landslide win, I imagine there have been some sleepless nights in Montecito."

Noting the tense relationship between Trump and the Sussexes, Cohen added that the re-election of the Republican will "cause some anxiety" for the royal couple.

Cohen explained: "Whether it's Portugal, Canada, Montecito or Frogmore, wherever the Sussexes drop anchor, they seem to wear out their welcome.

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:

• Harry's peace offering to Royal Family costs Duke of Sussex amid disastrous week
• Meghan accused of 'attacking her sister' in bitter legal battle
• Meghan 'feeling increasingly lonely' as duchess 'focusing on friendships'

"I don't know if this will be Donald Trump's priority, the first thing he concentrates on being Harry's visa, but certainly it should give cause for some anxiety over in Montecito."

Cohen also detailed the criticisms the Sussexes have faced from Donald Trump's son Eric, who said "no one cares" about Harry and Meghan as they are "unpopular" in America, and how his view may influence Trump to take action sooner.

Cohen told GB News: "The next President of the United States's son gave his damning assessment of the 'entitled, narcissistic self-promoter' Meghan, who it seems now everyone openly criticises.

"So while he said he's not worried about them, President Trump doesn't forget these slights."

When asked by host Nana Akua if he believes Trump will take action against the Sussexes, Cohen admitted: "It's unclear.

"He's certainly got a lot to contend with, what with, Iran, China and certainly Ukraine to deal with.

"So Meghan and Harry might not be Trump's priority, but, the fact that the president's son has even commented on this shows that it's on his mind."
