Prince Harry’s Heavily Redacted U.S. Immigration Records Released Following Court Order
The documents, made public after a lawsuit by the Heritage Foundation, leave key questions about the Duke of Sussex’s visa application unanswered.
- A U.S. District Court judge ordered the release of Prince Harry's immigration records, which were made public on March 18, 2025, in heavily redacted form.
- The Heritage Foundation filed a lawsuit under the Freedom of Information Act, questioning whether Harry lied about past drug use on his visa application or received special treatment.
- The released documents do not include Prince Harry's visa application itself, leaving unresolved whether his admissions of drug use in his memoir impacted his visa process.
- Admitting to past drug use does not automatically disqualify a U.S. visa applicant, but lying on the application can lead to visa termination or deportation.
- Prince Harry has not publicly commented on the matter, and President Trump has stated he will not pursue deportation of the Duke of Sussex.
