District Judge Carl Nichols ordered the release of the documents based on a freedom of information (FOI) request by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative US think tank in Washington DC.

The foundation alleges that the prince concealed his past use of drugs, which should have disqualified him from obtaining a US visa.

The allegations centre around the Duke of Sussex's claims in his memoir Spare, where he referred to taking cocaine, marijuana and psychedelic mushrooms.

In the book, published in January 2023, Prince Harry wrote that he first tried cocaine at the age of 17.
