Prince Harry immigration records must be made public, U.S. judge rules
A federal judge ordered the release Prince Harry's immigration records, which could reveal if he disclosed prior drug use before coming to America.
The Department of Homeland Security has until the end of Tuesday to comply with a federal judge's order and release some of Prince Harry's immigration court documents, which could reveal whether he disclosed previous drug use before he came to the United States, according to court records.
U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols had ruled in favor of the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank that has been seeking court documents for several years under the Freedom of Information Act.
Drug use itself isn't a disqualifying factor for a visa; lying about it could be a challenge. In theory, if Harry, the younger brother of the future U.K. king, Prince William, didn't disclose drug use on his visa application, he could have provided grounds to have him removed.
In his 2023 memoir, "Spare," Harry admitted using cocaine, among other drugs.
“Of course I had been taking cocaine at that time. At someone’s house, during a hunting weekend, I was offered a line, and since then I had consumed some more,” he wrote in a Spanish-language version of his book.
