Prince Harry’s return to the UK would be harder for the Royal Family than the Duke of Sussex staying in the US, an insider has claimed.
Last week, US President Donald Trump declared he would not deport Prince Harry from America, despite an ongoing case surrounding his immigration records.
The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, is currently battling the Department of Homeland Security in Washington DC over Harry’s visa records.
The lawsuit centres on Harry’s admissions in his memoir ‘Spare’ about taking cocaine as a teenager and experimenting with cannabis and mushrooms.

Trump said on Friday regarding potentially deporting Prince Harry: “I don’t want to do that, I’ll leave him alone.”
The US President took aim at Harry’s wife Meghan Markle in his remarks, stating: “He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.”
Following Trump’s vow not to deport Harry, a royal insider said that Harry returning to the UK would cause more problems for the monarchy.
The source said: “Having him back in the UK is actually harder than having him kept away in the USA.”
The US President has a good relationship with senior royals including King Charles and the Prince of Wales.

Trump has previously expressed admiration for Harry’s brother, describing Prince William as “a great young man”.
The pair met behind closed doors during the reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris in December.
The US Department of State notes that drug-related convictions can make visa applicants ineligible.
However, those seeking visas have the option to apply for waivers.
Last month, Prince Harry’s father King Charles sent a personal message of congratulations to Donald Trump following his historic second inauguration as US President.
