Despite potential visa issues following Donald Trump's re-election, Prince Harry has pledged to stay in the US. The Duke of Sussex, 40, who has resided in Montecito, California, with Meghan Markle since 2020, confirmed that they plan to continue living in the country where he and his children "very much enjoy living".Speaking at the New York Times DealBook Summit on Wednesday, the Duke expressed his delight at being able to do activities with his two children - Archie-Harrison Mountbatten and Princess Lilibet - that he "undoubtedly wouldn't be able to do in the UK".

He stated: "I very much enjoy living here and bringing up my kids here."He further added that now he and his family are settled in the country, his focus is on "being the best husband and the best dad that I can be".

However, his residency in the US has been criticised by the hard-right US-based thinktank the Heritage Foundation, the group behind the controversial Project 2025, which has questioned his visa.

The think-tank previously highlighted a section of the Prince's 2023 memoir Spare where he admits to using marijuana, cocaine and psychedelic mushrooms, reports the Mirror.
