Meghan Markle is a US citizen but Prince Harry has not yet got US citizenship despite living in California for the last four years because of the row over his visa issue. Prince Harry in his memoir ‘Spare’ revealed that he took drugs which should have disqualified him for a US visa but he got one. And that started the row which is yet to be resolved. But Harry and Meghan had had rough trysts with the US election.

In the 2020 US election, Harry and Meghan appeared in a video message and urged Americans to “vote against hate speech” which was seen as an apparent dig against Donald Trump and a veiled endorsement for Joe Biden. The video was broadcast as part of Time 100 magazine’s annual list of the top 100 most influential people. In the video, Harry said he never voted during his time in the UK.
