Prince Harry is faced with a fresh headache regarding his stay in America after court fillings revealed the think tank that tried to force the US to release his immigration records argued that “there was no proper method” by which the duke “could have been admitted” to the country.
The Duke of Sussex’s visa arrangements have been at the centre of discussions in the past year after a conservative Washington DC think tank, the Heritage Foundation, requested his immigration records to be made public due to his revelations about past drug use in his memoir Spare.
Harry, who has been living in the US since 2020 after he quit the Royal Family, revealed in his book that he’s previously tried recreational drugs like cocaine, marijuana and magic mushrooms, however, the think tank questioned whether he had declared that on his visa application when he relocated.
But US judge Carl Nichols ruled in September that Harry’s visa application should not be made public, saying that “the public does not have a strong interest in disclosure of the duke’s immigration records”.
Now, according to Newsweek, which claimed to have seen filings by the think tank, which is now suing the Biden administration in order to release Harry’s visa records, the Heritage Foundation said that Harry would have been required to disclose any past drug use during the immigration process and argued that if he was honest about it then he could have been denied entry to the US.
