Earlier, US President Donald Trump told the New York Post that he would not be in favour of deporting the prince, who moved to the US in 2020.
Some activists have questioned the Duke of Sussex’s US visa status after he admitted previously taking illegal drugs in his memoir, Spare.
The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, filed a lawsuit asking for the duke’s immigration records, suggesting he had lied on his visa form or was given special treatment when he and the duchess moved to Southern California in 2020.
Trump has previously suggested that if Prince Harry was found to have lied “appropriate action” would be needed.
But when asked on Friday by the New York Post whether the duke would be deported, Trump said: “I don’t want to do that. I’ll leave him alone.
“He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.”
Former actress Meghan has been a vocal critic of Trump, calling him “divisive” and a “misogynist”, while Trump has previously called Meghan “nasty”.
In the interview, the president also praised Prince Harry’s older brother, Prince William, “a great young man”.
Admitting past drug use does not automatically result denial of a US visa, but it can cause delays, and lying on a visa form can lead to deportation.
US presidents do not normally get involved in individual visa decisions. The couple have not responded to Trump’s comments.
