Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are said to have been having "sleepless nights in Montecito" after Donald Trump's victory at the US election last week, as a series of "bad judgements" have been "catching with them", according to a royal commentator.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have not made any comment following Mr Trump's election win. However, Harry's visa arrangements have come back into the spotlight following a row that sparked earlier this year after a think tank requested his immigration records be made public due to his revelations about past drug use in his memoir Spare.

US-based journalist Lee Cohen was critical of the couple and said that while Mr Trump may not prioritise Harry's visa records, his election should "give cause for anxiety" to the Montecito couple.

He told GB News: "It seems like divine justice or karma that the fortunes of the Sussex bosses have taken such a turn.

"Over the past year, bad behaviour and bad judgements have been catching up with them.

"Now, with Donald Trump’s historic landslide last week, I imagine there have been some sleepless nights in Montecito.

"Whether it’s Portugal, Canada, Montecito or Frogmore, wherever the Sussexes drop anchor, they seem to wear out their welcome.

"I don’t know if this [Harry’s visa] will be Donald Trump’s first priority, but it certainly should give cause for some anxiety in Montecito."

Earlier this year, the US President-elect hinted he could intervene regarding Prince Harry's visa "if he lied" about taking drugs in the past.

The Duke of Sussex opened up on his past use of drugs in his memoir Spare.

Harry's immigration records remain private after a judge in Washington DC ruled that his visa application should not be made public following requests by US think-tank The Heritage Foundation.
