Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s future in the United States may be more tied to the political landscape than they had hoped, with their visa status potentially impacted by the Trump administration. The new U.S. president, Donald Trump, has the power to deny Prince Harry a visa to remain in the country, with assistance from his Secretary of State.
While the identity of the Secretary of State has not yet been confirmed, speculation is growing that the role may go to Ric Grenell, the former U.S. ambassador to Germany and acting director of national intelligence during Trump’s first term. According to The Mail, Grenell’s appointment could have major implications for the couple, especially considering his public comments about Meghan Markle. During Meghan and Harry’s explosive 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Grenell remarked, “Meghan Markle is the classic American woke progressive. She doesn’t want to do the work but is outraged she doesn’t get the freebies.”
As political speculation looms, Meghan Markle has shifted her focus this year to promoting her lifestyle brand, “American Riviera Orchard,” which has garnered attention through curated gift bags. An insider revealed to Closer Magazine that Meghan has been “meticulously curating gift packages filled with a selection of all her favourite things—and, of course, plenty of her jam—to send to the who’s who of Hollywood.”
The potential political challenges facing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could impact their long-term plans in the U.S. as their visa status remains closely linked to the actions of Donald Trump and his team. As the couple navigates these hurdles, Meghan’s personal projects and business ventures continue to take center stage.
