Overview

• A US court has ruled that Prince Harry's visa application records must be released in redacted form by Tuesday, following a Freedom of Information request by the Heritage Foundation.
• The conservative think tank questioned Harry's 2020 US entry, citing admissions of past drug use in his memoir 'Spare,' including cocaine, marijuana, and psychedelic mushrooms.
• Judge Carl Nichols, who previously ruled in 2024 that public interest in the disclosure was insufficient, reversed course after the Heritage Foundation sought a revision.
• The Department of Homeland Security has agreed to release the documents with redactions to protect sensitive information, as outlined in recent court filings.
• Former President Donald Trump commented on the matter, stating he would not pursue deportation but criticized Harry and his wife Meghan Markle, who has been a vocal critic of Trump in the past.
