The ex-president's second son, 40, told the Daily Mail that his father Donald 'loved the Queen' and lamented how Harry had done a 'huge detriment' to the royal family after turning his back on the UK.
But Eric said that Harry shouldn't have to worry about being deported
if Donald Trump is re-elected on November 5 despite the Duke of
Sussex facing allegations he may have lied about his drug use when he
applied for his US visa.
'Truthfully I don't give a damn about Prince
Harry and I don't think this country does either,' Eric said of the Duke, 40,
who now lives in Montecito, California.
'My father loved the Queen and I think the monarchy is an incredibly beautiful
thing.'
'The late Queen was amazing. The way she welcomed my father with open arms was,
like, beyond,' Eric said.
Eric also said that Harry let his family
down when he quit the monarchy and moved to California with wife Meghan
and son Archie in 2020.
'You look at this one black sheep who
doesn't exactly know where he is, led by a wife that is pretty unpopular, both
here and over where you are,' Eric said.
He added that Harry appeared to 'have gone
off the deep end and it's sad to watch.'
However, people are 'able to differentiate
between the two sides,' Eric said and described the royal family as a great
symbol of Britain.
Returning to the Duke's visa status, Eric
said: 'I don't give a damn if he did drugs. It means nothing.
'I can tell you that our father and our
entire family has tremendous respect for the monarchy.'
It comes as Harry is facing a fresh
fight over his secret US visa application with an American think-tank
demanding it be made public after he admitted taking drugs in his memoir,
Spare.
The Heritage Foundation questioned why the
Duke was allowed into the US following his reference to taking cocaine,
marijuana, and psychedelic mushrooms in the book published last year.
The conservative Washington DC group
brought a lawsuit against the Department for Homeland Security (DHS) after a
Freedom of Information request was rejected.
The case was brought because visa
applicants must by law declare whether they have taken drugs. Failure to do so
can lead to deportation, and Heritage wanted the US Government to release the
records to see what Harry said about drug usage.
