The Daily Mail has reported that a conservative research institute is in a heated dispute with US officials who are rejecting requests to publish details of Prince Harry's visa application. Some are speculating that Harry may be using his royal connections to get out of the controversy, and that he could face deportation if details of his visa are revealed.
The Heritage Foundation has claimed that Prince Harry's visa application should be made public so that it can be determined whether he disclosed his drug use before entering the US. According to Mike Howell, director of the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project, “This request is in the public interest in light of the potential revocation of Prince Harry’s visa for illicit substance use and further questions regarding the Prince’s drug use and whether he was properly vetted before entering the United States.”
A spokesman for the US State Department stated that visa records are confidential under the Immigration and Nationality Act, and as such, they cannot discuss the details of individual visa cases.
In his memoir, titled "Spare," Meghan's husband Prince Harry admitted to using cocaine, cannabis, and magic mushrooms, claiming that psychedelics and marijuana “really helped” him deal with his “trauma,” while cocaine use was more of a “social thing” for him, according to the book.
