Overview

• The Heritage Foundation has reopened its lawsuit to access Prince Harry’s U.S. visa records, citing his admissions of past drug use in his memoir, 'Spare.'
• The case will be heard on February 5, marking the first court hearing on the matter since Donald Trump began his second term as U.S. president.
• The think tank alleges that Harry either misrepresented his drug history on his visa application or received preferential treatment from the Biden administration.
• Former President Trump has stated that if Prince Harry lied on his visa forms, 'appropriate action' should be taken, potentially including deportation.
• The Department of Homeland Security has opposed the release of the records, arguing that it would violate Harry’s privacy, while a prior court ruling dismissed the Heritage Foundation’s claims of government misconduct.
