Rumors are swirling that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are crafting a contingency plan, anticipating the possibility of Donald Trump reclaiming the presidency.
With the political landscape heating up, speculations suggest that the couple is considering their options due to Trump’s recent comments regarding their status in the United States.
The former president has made it clear he would not offer any special treatment to the Duke, raising concerns about their future in America.
Sources close to the couple have reported that anxiety is running high within the Sussex household.
The thought of being forced out of the U.S. looms large, especially given Trump’s previous threats to revoke the Duke’s visa if he were to return to office.
An insider revealed that the family is deeply unsettled by the prospect of Trump resuming his presidential duties and potentially following through on his deportation threats.
Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, the Duke and Duchess have settled down in Montecito, California, where they raise their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
However, the Duke currently finds himself entangled in legal challenges surrounding his U.S. visa application.
This situation has only intensified their worries, as none of the Duke’s relatives hold American citizenship, although the Duchess and their children do, thanks to her being a native of the U.S.
The release of the Duke’s memoir, “Spare,” earlier this year added fuel to the fire.
In it, he disclosed startling details about his past drug use, which has since sparked a series of legal complications.
Now, with the possibility of Trump’s re-election on the horizon, reports indicate that the couple is seriously contemplating leaving the U.S. with their children should the political winds shift unfavorably.
A source shared that the idea of returning to the U.K. is particularly daunting for the Duchess.
Her popularity there has waned, making the thought of moving back feel almost unbearable.
Many observers believe that if it comes to light that the Duke may have misrepresented his past drug use on his visa application, the Duchess would likely abandon any thoughts of a return to her homeland.
Trump himself has hinted at potential repercussions for the Duke if he is found to have been dishonest regarding his drug history.
In a recent conversation with Nigel Farage, he suggested that there would be consequences, though he stopped short of explicitly stating that deportation was a certainty.
