Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, is encountering challenges with his US visa application due to questions surrounding his past drug use. The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, has filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), alleging that Harry’s application did not adequately address his history of drug use. This has raised concerns because US visa applicants are required to disclose such information, especially since Harry himself confessed to his drug use in his 2023 memoir, “Spare.”
Former US President Donald Trump, who is seeking re-election, has weighed in on the matter, warning Harry of potential consequences if he misrepresented his drug use on his application. Trump suggested that appropriate action, including deportation, might be taken if Harry is found to have deceived authorities.
Speaking on GB News, host Patrick Christys expressed worries about potential preferential treatment for the prince and emphasized the seriousness of the situation. Christys questioned the transparency of the visa application process and speculated about the manner in which Harry and Meghan filled out their forms.
These developments follow Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s decision to step down from their senior royal roles in 2020 and relocate to California, Meghan’s home state. The couple currently resides in a lavish estate in Montecito with their children, Archie and Lilibet.
Despite their enjoyment of life in the US, Harry recently stated on Good Morning America that obtaining American citizenship is not a top priority for him at the moment. While he has considered the possibility, it is not something he is actively pursuing.
The outcome of the lawsuit filed against the DHS and the resolution of Prince Harry’s visa application remain uncertain. However, the scrutiny surrounding his past drug use highlights the complexities of navigating immigration processes, even for high-profile individuals like members of the royal family.
