Prince Harry’s US visa case could be reviewed by a key aide for Donald Trump who has previously hit out at Meghan Markle.
The Duke of Sussex’s case may be reviewed by the person Trump appoints as his new Secretary of State.
A leading contender is Ric Grenell, the former US ambassador to Germany who was also acting director of national intelligence in Trump’s first term.
Grenell previously hit out at Meghan Markle following her interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021.

He wrote on social media at the time: “Meghan Markle is the classic American woke progressive.
Grenell added: “She doesn’t want to do the work but is outraged she doesn’t get the freebies.”
The Duke of Sussex’s visa records remain secret after Judge Carl Nichols in Washington DC ruled on September 9 that US government documents relating to it will not be made public.
The judge sealed his order so it is not known why he made that decision.
Over the last 18 months, Prince Harry’s US visa has been at the centre of a court case.

The Duke of Sussex admitted in his autobiography, published in 2023, to taking drugs including cocaine, cannabis and magic mushrooms.
A conservative think tank called The Heritage Foundation has been battling against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in a bid to get the Duke of Sussex’s visa records made public.
The case in Washington DC challenged the Biden Administration to disclose its dossier on Prince Harry under freedom of information laws.
The think tank questioned how Prince Harry was able to move to the United States after admitting to drug use in his memoir, Spare.

Visa applicants are legally required to declare drug use and failure to do so can lead to deportation.
However, despite the ongoing feud between the Sussexes and Trumps, Harry will not need to worry about further developments in his case after two sealed orders and a sealed “memorandum opinion” were filed, effectively closing the case.
Eric Trump confirmed his father has no intention of revisiting the US visa row, putting an end to any fears of Harry being at risk of deportation, saying: “I don’t give a damn if he (Harry) did drugs. It means nothing.
“I can tell you that our father and our entire family has tremendous respect for the monarchy.”
However, Trump’s second son did take the opportunity to make a couple of public digs at the Sussexes, saying Harry “is, led by a wife that is pretty unpopular, both here and over where you are (the UK).”
Eric added that the Duke of Sussex appeared to “have gone off the deep end and it’s sad to watch.”
