Judge Considers Partial Release of Prince Harry's US Visa Records

Legal battle reignites over the Duke of Sussex's immigration status following his drug use admissions in his memoir.

A federal judge in Washington, D.C., is reviewing whether some of Prince Harry's US visa records can be disclosed, balancing privacy laws with public interest.
The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, filed a lawsuit claiming Harry may have lied on his visa application about past drug use, as detailed in his 2023 memoir, 'Spare.'
US District Court Judge Carl Nichols has requested redaction proposals from the Department of Homeland Security to determine what information can be lawfully released.
The case, previously closed in 2024, was reopened after procedural concerns and has drawn attention due to Donald Trump's return to the presidency and his past comments on the matter.
Prince Harry is not directly involved in the case, which questions whether he received special treatment during the Biden administration when obtaining his visa.
