Prince Harry's deportation threat could have been averted due to a "plea from William," royal commentator Charlotte Griffiths has suggested.
The revelation comes as a US federal judge has ordered Prince Harry's visa records to be made public by Tuesday following a lawsuit questioning whether he misrepresented his past drug use on his US immigration application.
The US president Donald Trump has previously U-turned on his comments about Harry saying he will "leave him alone" as he has "enough troubles with his difficult wife as it is".
Speaking to GB News, Editor-at-Large for the Daily Mail Charlotte Griffiths said: "What Trump has said is that he's not going to deport Harry, so we're not having him back.
"He's not coming back to the UK. There was this very funny thing that happened. He met with Prince William - Trump - I think it was a few months ago.
"And they seemed to have a little tete-a-tete, and everyone was speculating whether William said, 'please for the love of God, don’t send him back'.

"Because, quite unexpectedly, Trump said, 'look I’m not going to deport him'. He's got enough troubles with his difficult wife as it is. It was a very headline-grabbing moment."
The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, filed the lawsuit against the US Department of Homeland Security after it denied their request to access Prince Harry's immigration documents.
The case centres on allegations that the Duke may have misrepresented his past drug use when applying for his US visa in 2020.
Prince Harry has openly discussed using cannabis, cocaine and psychedelic substances in both his memoir "Spare" and his Netflix documentary.
US immigration rules typically consider drug use grounds for visa ineligibility.
If Harry answered "no" to drug-related questions despite his public admissions, it could raise serious legal questions about his application process.
The investigation had been officially concluded in September but was reopened just weeks after Donald Trump's inauguration as President of the United States.
Despite the looming release of his visa records, Trump's assurance appears to have removed the immediate threat of deportation.
Griffiths added: "One thing I’ve heard consistently all along is that Harry will never be away from his kids.
"He’ll do anything he can for them. Even if that marriage ended, and I’m not saying it will, he will always remain wherever the kids are.
"Meghan has no intention of moving back to the UK or leaving America. So, it seems that whatever happens, he’s going to try his best to be there, I guess."
