New Trump-Era Files Suggest Prince Harry May Hold A-1 Diplomatic Visa

Reports say the documents point to a State Department–handled status that can permit indefinite stays and may not appear in standard DHS files.

Overview

  • Newly unearthed records from the Trump administration are reported to indicate Prince Harry could have an A-1 “Head of State” visa, a claim that has not been publicly confirmed.
  • A March court ruling kept his immigration records private, and earlier DHS releases were heavily redacted, leaving key details unresolved.
  • Immigration specialists say A-1 visas are vetted by the State Department with minimal DHS involvement and allow entry for an indefinite duration of status.
  • The Heritage Foundation sued to obtain his visa filings after Harry disclosed past drug use in his memoir, while sources close to him say he answered truthfully on applications.
  • Despite ongoing scrutiny of his status, President Trump has said he would leave Harry alone and has ruled out pursuing deportation.
