As Donald Trump has recently taken back the US Presidency, there are hundreds of questions about what a Republican government will mean for America and the world.
There will be individual concerns too and, given comments made by the Trump camp during the election and before, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will surely be wondering if there are going to be any immediate implications for them.
In fact, given their past relationship with the President, there could well be cause for concern about their new life in Montecito.

HARRYโS VISA ROW
Trump, who was a huge admirer of the Queen and the royal family in general, has previously weighed in on Prince Harryโs US visa application.
This came under enormous scrutiny after he admitted in his memoir Spare to using cocaine, smoking marijuana, and experimenting with magic mushrooms as a teenager.
A lawsuit was also submitted to make Prince Harryโs visa application public and check whether this drug use was disclosed, but this was later overruled by a judge.

Recently, Trump claimed the Biden administration had been โtoo graciousโ to Harry since his 2020 move to California with Meghan.
He told the Express: โI wouldnโt protect him. He betrayed the Queen. Thatโs unforgivable. He would be on his own if it was down to me.โ
Days later, Trump was also challenged on Harry during an interview on GB News.
He was asked if there would be any โspecial privilegesโ for the prince, and the Trump said: โNo. Weโll have to see if they know something about the drugs, and if he lied theyโll have to take appropriate action.โ
โAppropriate action? Which might meanโฆnot staying in America?โ the interviewer probed.
Trump responded: โOh I donโt know. Youโll have to tell me. You just have to tell me. You would have thought they would have known this a long time ago.โ
Despite these earlier comments, in February 2025 Trump confirmed he will not be exiling the Duke from America.
โI donโt want to do that,โ he told the New York Post. โIโll leave him alone.โ
On the other hand, Trump praised Harryโs older brother, Prince William, whom he met following the ceremonial reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France last December.
โI think William is a great young man,โ he said.
IS ERIC TRUMP A FAN OF HARRY AND MEGHAN?

Trumpโs son, Eric, has been less interested in all the Prince Harry drama, claiming the only reason Prince Harryโs US Visa is safe is because โno one caresโ about him.
โTruthfully I donโt give a damn about Prince Harry and I donโt think this country does either. My father loved the Queen and I think the monarchy is an incredibly beautiful thing,โ he said a week before the election, adding that despite the arguments regarding Harryโs visa, he did not think it should be revoked.
โI donโt give a damn if he did drugs. It means nothing,โ he said.
WHAT MEGHAN SAYS ABOUT DONALD TRUMP
Things seem more personal between Trump and the Sussexes, with Meghan and Harryโs being vocal critics of the new president in the past.
In 2016, before Meghan had even met Prince Harry she told a US chat show that she found Trump to be โmisogynisticโ and โdivisive.โ
She explained: โYou donโt really want that kind of world,โ adding that the prospect of him in the White House left her thinking: โI might just stay in Canada.โ

Once she and Prince Harry were married, the pair, as royals, were expected to remain politically neutral, but they still didnโt hold back.
In 2019 the pair reportedly declined to be photographed with Trump on a UK visit and, during the 2020 Biden campaign for the White House, Meghan and Harry appeared in a video urging people to vote.
Harry said that they should โreject hate speech, misinformation and online negativityโ which many believed at the time to be a thinly veiled swipe at Trump.
Meghan called the race: โthe most important election of our lifetimeโ.
WHAT DONALD TRUMP SAID ABOUT MEGHAN AND HARRY
Buckingham Palace later distanced itself from Harryโs comment, claiming as he was no longer a working royal, his statements were made in โa personal capacityโ.
But Trump was reportedly not happy.

โIโm not a fan of hers,โ he said at a White House press briefing in 2020. โI would say this โ and she probably has heard that โ I wish a lot of luck to Harry, because heโs going to need it.โ
He went on to say the Sussexes โmust payโ for their security costs, after it was revealed the Sussexes had relocated from Canada to Los Angeles.
After losing that 2020 vote, Trump hit out at Harry in several interviews when he was asked about the Royal Family.
In 2021 he told Nigel Farage that he thought Harry had been โused horriblyโ and that his marriage โruined his relationship with his familyโ and that it โhurts the Queenโ.
Later, speaking to Piers Morgan in 2022, Trump said โHarry is whipped like no person I think Iโve ever seenโ and that Meghan will likely leave him โwhen she decides that she likes some other guy better.โ
What will happen now is anyoneโs guess. But, Prince Harry and Meghan may be feeling concerned about what the future might hold for them.
In October it was reported the Sussexes had bought a property in Portugal and, royal expert Hugo Vickers recently commented it would be a good โbackup planโ for the couple if Mr Trump decides to kick Harry out of the US.
Mr Vickers told The Sun: โI think itโs very wise to take all the possibilities into account. Looking at it from the outside, it makes perfect sense that they should have a backup plan.โ
