Eric Trump reckons Prince Harry need not worry about his US visa debacle — because no one in America “gives a damn” about him.
The ex-president’s second son, 40, had some scathing remarks about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, saying it’s “sad to watch” how the pair have “gone off the deep end.”
“Truthfully I don’t give a damn about Prince Harry and I don’t think this country does either,” Trump told the Daily Mail.

“My father loved the Queen and I think the monarchy is an incredibly beautiful thing.”
Trump said that should his father emerge victorious in the Nov. 5 election next week, Harry will not need to worry about being deported from the US.
“I don’t give a damn if he did drugs. It means nothing,” he said. “I can tell you that our father and our entire family has tremendous respect for the monarchy.”
Trump’s comments come a month after a judge ruled that the father of two’s visa application is to remain private.
Still, while Trump says his father isn’t looking to explore deporting Harry, it does not mean he’s fond of the exiled royal.
“You look at this one black sheep who doesn’t exactly know where he is, led by a wife that is pretty unpopular, both here and over where you are,” he said of the duke, who quit royal life in 2020 and moved to the US.

Trump added that the Sussexes “have gone off the deep end and it’s sad to watch,” adding that people are “able to differentiate between the two sides” of the monarchy.
“The late queen was amazing,” he said of Queen Elizabeth II, who died in November 2022 at age 96. “The way she welcomed my father with open arms was, like, beyond.”
Trump also praised the current monarch, King Charles III, who had previously visited the Trump family at Mar-a-Lago in Florida.

“We’ve known the king forever,” Trump told the outlet. “In fact, I was just digging through a photo album not too long ago and I came across a picture of him with my father, I’m 6 years old in the lobby of Mar-a-Lago.”
Elsewhere, the son of the 45th US president showered the Prince and Princess of Wales with praise, saying the pair have never “made a misstep.”
What’s more, Trump highlighted that Princess Catherine always “conducts herself so incredibly well and has been such a rock in the next generation of the family.”
