I’VE witnessed some incredibly over-excited happy people in my life.

Simon Cowell nearly immolating next to me when Susan Boyle hit the first high note of I Dreamed A Dream in her Britain’s Got Talent audition, and he suddenly realised he was about to make gazillions out of an unknown Scottish spinster.

The Arsenal team’s wild celebrations in 2002 at Old Trafford thirty minutes after we beat Manchester United in their own back yard to win the League. (I’d run onto the pitch in my suit to join in the jubilant group hug.)

And supermodel Naomi Campbell hyper-ventilating as she shimmied with me down a charity fashion catwalk, scarcely able to believe her luck.

But for sheer unbridled joy, I’ve never seen anything to quite match Donald Trump’s beaming face when he returned to Air Force One after meeting Queen Elizabeth II for the first time, at Windsor Castle.

I was waiting to interview him aboard the US presidential plane, and he bounded into the Situation Room with a massive grin on his face.

“Piers, your Queen is FANTASTIC!” he bellowed, ecstatically.

“She’s a fantastic woman; so much energy and smart and sharp. She was AMAZING! Such a wonderful lady and so beautiful!

“It was such an honour to finally meet her. To have a Queen like that is great.

“She is so sharp, so wise, so beautiful. She’s a very special person!”

The reason for his extraordinary enthusiasm became clear when I asked him what went through his mind as he walked towards Her Majesty, and he replied: “I was thinking about my mother. My mother passed away a while ago and she was a tremendous fan of the Queen.

“She thought she was a woman of elegance, and my mother felt she was a great woman.

“I said to Melania, ‘Can you imagine my mother seeing this scene?’

“The Queen is terrific. She is so sharp, so wise, so beautiful. She’s a very special person.

“I said to her, ‘You know, my mother was your big fan. She was born in Stornaway in the Hebrides. And that’s very serious Scotland, there’s no doubt about that’.”

Trump’s reverence for the Queen dates back to 1953 when he sat with his mother to watch the Coronation on their new television set in New York.

Young Donald, then just six years old, looked on in awe and wonderment at the extraordinary scenes from London.

As did Mary Trump.

“She was just enthralled by the pomp and circumstance,” her son later wrote in his best-selling book Art Of The Deal, “the whole idea of royalty and glamour”.

Trump’s attack on Harry

All this helps explain Trump’s latest furious attack on Prince Harry in which he ominously warned the runaway royal he’d be “on his own” if the former president wins back the White House in the November election, because of his “unforgivable” betrayal of the Queen.

Trump, speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington DC, lambasted his successor President Biden for “being too gracious” to the Duke of Sussex since he quit Britain for America in 2020.

The Biden administration is currently engaged in a legal battle with a conservative think tank, the Heritage Foundation, which has sought public access to Harry’s visa application to see if he was honest about his extensive illegal drug use as detailed in his best-selling autobiography, Spare, or has received preferential treatment from the Biden administration.

In the book, Harry brazenly admitted to taking marijuana, cocaine, and psychedelic mushrooms, including in America at the homes of friends.

But Government lawyer John Bardo, for the Department of Homeland Security, told a court last Friday that the book was not “sworn testimony or proof” that he took drugs.

He argued, “Just saying something in a book doesn’t make it true” and added that people say things to “sell books” as he insisted Harry’s immigration records should remain private.

This defence has been widely criticised, with people mocking the notion that Harry’s drug boasts may not be true just because he wrote about them, and pointing out that Biden’s team are only defending him like this because the prince and his wife Meghan have made no secret of their dislike of Trump and their support for the Democrat Party.

But Trump raged: “I wouldn’t protect him. He betrayed the Queen. That’s unforgivable. He would be on his own if it was down to me.”

If I were Harry, I’d find these words very concerning, because it might indeed soon be down to Trump, who can be a vengeful enemy.

Harry’s future ‘uncertain’

This is not the first time he’s had a whack at Harry or his wife.

When I interviewed him for Piers Morgan Uncensored in 2022, he scoffed: “Harry is whipped. I won’t use the full expression, but Harry is whipped like no person I think I’ve ever seen. I’m not a fan of Meghan, and I wasn’t right from the beginning. I think poor Harry is being led around by his nose.”

And he predicted the couple would divorce, saying: “It’ll end, and it’ll end bad. I want to know what’s going to happen when Harry decides he’s had enough of being bossed around.

“Or maybe when she decides that she likes some other guy better. I want to know what’s going to happen when it ends, OK?”

In the same interview, he said the Sussexes should be stripped of their titles, saying: “He has been so disrespectful to the country, and I think he’s an embarrassment.”

But this new threat to cut Harry off from any US government support could carry serious risk to the Duke’s US ambitions.

Only last week, Harry admitted he’s been thinking of becoming an American citizen, but if Trump regains the presidency, he could stop that happening.

And he might go even further and seek to have him deported, using the admitted drug abuse as an excuse. A fate that has befallen many others.

So, what next?

If that nuclear option was pressed, and knowing Trump as well as I do, his capacity for such acts of petty vengeance is unlimited, Harry would be forced to leave his idyllic Californian mansion and his adoptive country.

But where would he go?

It’s surely inconceivable that he could return to Britain, tail between his legs, having been turfed out of the US?

All recent polls show that most Britons loathe him for his constant attacks on the Royal Family, which caused such distress to the Queen in the last years of her life, and his brother William won’t even talk to him which given he’ll be King one day, could spell even more revenge problems for Harry.

And if he’s not able to live and work in America, Harry’s lucrative family-trashing money-spinning gravy-train would hit the sidings hard.

So, this could be a very perilous few months for the man who wants to have his royal cake and eat it.

How ironic if it’s Donald Trump who has the last laugh on the treacherous little weasel and tells him “You’re fired!” because of the despicable way he treated his grandmother the Queen.
