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

Eric Trump has suggested that Prince Harry’s 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 that Harry had caused ‘enormous damage’ to the royal family after turning his back on Britain.

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

“Honestly, I don’t care about Prince Harry and I don’t think this country does either,” Eric said of the 40-year-old duke, 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 the way she welcomed 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 wonderful. The way she welcomed my father with open arms was truly extraordinary,” Eric said.

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

‘We have known the king forever. In fact, not too long ago I was looking through a photo and came across a photo of him with my dad, 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 never “made a misstep,” while his wife “behaved so incredibly well and was such a rock for the next generation of the family.”

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

“Look at this one black sheep who doesn’t know exactly where he is, led by a woman who is quite unpopular, both here and where you are,” Eric said.

He added that Harry “seemed to have gone off the deep end and it’s sad to see.”

However, people are “able to differentiate between the two sides,” Eric said, describing the royal family as a great symbol of Britain.

Returning to the Duke’s visa status, Eric said: ‘I don’t care if he does drugs. It doesn’t mean anything.

“I can tell you that our father and our entire family have enormous respect for the monarchy.”

It comes as Harry faces a new fight over his secret US visa application, with a US think tank demanding it be made public after he admitted to taking drugs in his memoir, Spare.

The Heritage Foundation questioned why the duke was allowed into the US after his reference to the use of cocaine, marijuana and psychedelic mushrooms in the book published last year.

The Washington DC-based conservative group filed a lawsuit against the Department for Homeland Security (DHS) after a Freedom of Information request was denied.

The case was brought because the law requires visa applicants to declare whether they have used drugs. Failure to do so could result in deportation, and Heritage wanted the US government to release the data to see what Harry said about drug use.

Heritage filed a new lawsuit last week in an attempt to reopen the case, saying it was barred from seeing private submissions to the judge by the Biden administration.
