Eric Trump says ‘no one in America cares’ about Prince Harry or his ‘unpopular’ wife Meghan

Eric Trump has suggested that Prince Harry’s US visa is safe because ‘no one cares’ about the Duke or his ‘unpopular’ wife Meghan.

The ex-president’s second son, 40, told the Daily Mail that his father Donald ‘loved the Queen’ and lamented how Harry had done a ‘huge detriment’ to the royal family after turning his back on the UK.

But Eric said that Harry shouldn’t have to worry about being deported if Donald Trump is re-elected on November 5 despite the Duke of Sussex facing allegations he may have lied about his drug use when he applied for his US visa.

‘Truthfully I don’t give a damn about Prince Harry and I don’t think this country does either,’ Eric said of the Duke, 40, who now lives in Montecito, California.

‘My father loved the Queen and I think the monarchy is an incredibly beautiful thing.’

Eric, who runs the family’s business empire the Trump Organization, paid tribute to the late Queen for how she hosted the Trump family.

The 45th president, former First Lady Melania, Don Jr., Ivanka and her husband Jared, Eric and his wife Lara, and Tiffany Trump joined the royal family for a lavish banquet at Buckingham Palace in June 2019.

‘The late Queen was amazing. The way she welcomed my father with open arms was, like, beyond,’ Eric said.

Donald’s second son said that his father was also fond of King Charles and that His Majesty had previously visited Mar-a-Lago, the Trump estate in Palm Beach, Florida.

‘We’ve known the King forever. In fact, I was just digging through a photo album not too long ago and I came across a picture of him with my father, I’m six years old in the lobby of Mar-a-Lago,’ Eric said.

He also praised William and Kate, stating that the future king had never ‘made a misstep’ while his wife ‘conducts herself so incredibly well and has been such a rock in the next generation of the family.’

On the other hand, Eric said that Harry let his family down when he quit the monarchy and moved to California with wife Meghan and son Archie in 2020.

‘You look at this one black sheep who doesn’t exactly know where he is, led by a wife that is pretty unpopular, both here and over where you are,’ Eric said.

He added that Harry appeared to ‘have gone off the deep end and it’s sad to watch.’

However, people are ‘able to differentiate between the two sides,’ Eric said and described the royal family as a great symbol of Britain.

Returning to the Duke’s visa status, Eric said: ‘I don’t give a damn if he did drugs. It means nothing.

‘I can tell you that our father and our entire family has tremendous respect for the monarchy.’

It comes as Harry is facing a fresh fight over his secret US visa application with an American think-tank demanding it be made public after he admitted taking drugs in his memoir, Spare.

The Heritage Foundation questioned why the Duke was allowed into the US following his reference to taking cocaine, marijuana and psychedelic mushrooms in the book published last year.

The conservative Washington DC group brought a lawsuit against the Department for Homeland Security (DHS) after a Freedom of Information request was rejected.

The case was brought because visa applicants must by law declare whether they have taken drugs. Failure to do so can lead to deportation, and Heritage wanted the US Government to release the records to see what Harry said about drug usage.

Heritage last week submitted a new court filing as it tries to reopen the case as it was not allowed to see private submissions to the judge by the Biden administration.
