Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been blasted for "spewing nonsense" by the President of US think thank, The Heritage Foundation.
Kevin Roberts wants the Duke of Sussex to return to the UK.
The Heritage Foundation, the biggest conservative think tank in the US, is calling for Harry's visa application to be made public for greater clarity on what the royal declared.
Roberts told the Telegraph: "We don’t like him being in America and we would love for him to come back to you or somewhere.
The Duke of Sussex moved to the US in 2020 alongside his wife Meghan Markle.

"I guess we as Americans, we see Prince Harry the same way you see President Biden. You can have him back."
Roberts also said Americans "admire the consistency of the British form of government, which, of course, includes the Royal Family".
He added that only "two to three per cent" of the US population "love the nonsense that Harry and Meghan spew" and that in general, Britons "don’t have to worry about Americans being on their side".
Harry has publicly admitted to taking multiple drugs, including cocaine, cannabis and magic mushrooms.
Prince Harry did tell US officials about his drug use, according to a source close to the Duke of Sussex.
Sources close to Prince Harry have indicated that he was truthful on his visa application, suggesting that he disclosed his drug use.
The Duke of Sussex moved to the US in 2020 alongside his wife Meghan Markle.
People who emigrate to America are normally given a three-year visa, meaning Harry will need to apply for a new visa, or a Green Card, or citizenship, this year.
An application for a new visa could lead to further scrutiny of the Duke of Sussex's drug use.

US immigration law has harsh penalties for lying to immigration officials, including deportation and being barred from applying for citizenship.
It comes as Mike Howell, director of the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project submitted a request for Prince Harry's US visa application to be made public.
Howell said: "This request is in the public interest in light of the potential revocation of Prince Harry’s visa for illicit substance use and further questions regarding the Prince’s drug use and whether he was properly vetted before entering the United States".
However, a US State Department spokesman said: "Visa records are confidential under Section 222(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA); therefore, we cannot discuss the details of individual visa cases."
