Meghan Markle and Prince Harry 'torn' over where to live and are in 'hellish' situation

As gears up for his inauguration as the 47th President of the , Prince Harry and face uncertain times. The duo, silent during the campaign, may now worry about their US stay, especially with Trump's past comments on considering Harry's deportation related to visa issues.

Without clear signs of a warm UK family reunion, an insider confided: "They feel very torn about what to do next, they honestly thought Kamala Harris would get in and they would be friends with the President - this is a hellish situation for them," adding fears over Harry's potential deportation.

The source continued: "They're both feeling very unsettled right now, what with everything going on in America, plus all the pressure on them to do well with their projects. They have to perform in 2025 as companies like Netflix won't stand for anything that isn't a huge hit because of all the money they've paid them."

In addition to their philanthropic endeavours with the Archewell Foundation and parenting duties for their children - , five, and three - the Royal couple are also slated to feature in several new documentaries. These include a professional polo scene documentary featuring Harry, 40, and a cookery show starring Meghan, 42.

However, with Harry's ongoing visa issues potentially escalating under Trump's administration, there's more at risk than just their television careers. Last year, the conservative Heritage Foundation think tank, based in Washington DC, filed a lawsuit against the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS), reports

The suit questioned whether the Duke's visa application for his January 2020 move to the States was adequately scrutinised and called for the records to be made public. All US visa applicants must disclose any current or past drug use.

The lawsuit was filed after Harry shockingly confessed in his memoir, Spare, that he had used cocaine, magic mushrooms, and marijuana in his youth. The 55-page lawsuit demanded the release of his application to verify if he had disclosed his drug use.

It argued that the "widespread and continuous" coverage of his book raised questions about whether DHS had correctly admitted the Duke of Sussex, given his public admission to "surfaced the question surfaced the question of whether DHS properly admitted the Duke of Sussex in light of the fact that he has publicly admitted to the essential elements of a number of drug offences in both the United States and abroad".

In a twist of events, a judge decreed in September that Prince Harry's visa application should be kept confidential, citing that the public interest did not trump the Duke's right to privacy. However, with a new President poised to enter the White House, speculation is rife about whether this could pave the way for a successful challenge to the ruling.

The visa saga has been a recurring theme in Trump's rhetoric; he once remarked that the US had been "too gracious" to Harry following his relocation stateside with Meghan. Trump has also made it clear that he "wouldn't protect" Harry if any discrepancies were found in his visa paperwork, even invoking Harry's bond with his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, by stating: "He betrayed the Queen. That's unforgivable. He would be on his own if it was down to me."

When probed by GB News' Nigel Farage in March on whether Harry deserved "special privileges" in the event of falsehoods on his application, the incoming President responded unequivocally with a firm "No," adding that any evidence of drug-related issues or dishonesty must be met with suitable measures.

As Trump's inauguration looms, insiders reveal that the Sussexes are feeling increasingly cornered. "Their main worry is that Harry could be deported now that Trump is the next President," they shared.

"He has made no secret of the fact that he dislikes him for the way Harry treated the royal family and he has the power to throw out anyone, and can use Harry's drug taking admission as a reason."

Previously, celebrities like Samuel L Jackson, Cher, Miley Cyrus and Neve Campbell faced backlash for threatening to leave America if Trump won his first presidential race. However, with their new abode in Portugal, Harry and Meghan might find comfort closer to Harry's British relatives, our source suggests.

Last month, it was widely reported that the couple had spent over £6m on a house in Melides, where Harry's cousin Princess Eugenie and Hollywood A-lister George Clooney also have properties. "They're both worried about what life will be like in the US now, and they'll spend more time in Portugal after buying a home there" our insider revealed, "and if Harry had his way, they would be based there."
