As Harry joined Colbert for a comedy sketch on Wednesday, he slipped in a pointed remark aimed squarely at the former president.

Harry’s Life in the U.S. and Trump’s Past Threats

After a brief stay in Canada following their royal departure, Harry and Meghan settled permanently in Montecito, California, purchasing what the Duke has called their “forever home.” Despite living in the U.S., Harry has said he has no intention of applying for American citizenship — a decision that may not surprise many, given Donald Trump’s earlier threats to deport him.

In 2023, The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, sued the Department of Homeland Security to obtain Harry’s immigration records. At the time, certain visa applications required an applicant to disclose any past drug use — something that could have resulted in rejection.

Harry complicated matters by openly writing in Spare that he had experimented with drugs including cocaine, marijuana, and magic mushrooms, even admitting he once lied about cocaine use as a teenager. He said his drug use stemmed from the emotional turmoil following Princess Diana’s death.
