Overview

  • Prince Harry's U.S. immigration records must be released by the Department of Homeland Security by the end of today, as per a federal court order.
  • The Heritage Foundation initiated the lawsuit, citing Harry's 2023 memoir, where he admitted to past drug use, as grounds to question his visa application.
  • U.S. visa applications require disclosure of drug use, which can lead to denial, though officials retain discretion in their decisions.
  • Speculation surrounds whether Harry received special treatment or used a diplomatic A1 visa, which may exempt him from certain disclosures.
  • Prince Harry has not publicly addressed the case, while President Trump has stated he will not pursue deportation over the matter.
