In his recent memoir, he made statements about drug use that have sparked reactions from both American citizens and legal experts. As a result, there are calls for the Duke of Sussex to come clean about how he answered questions related to drug use on his visa application.
People applying for visas to live and work in the US are required to answer the question, "Are you or have you ever been a drug abuser or addict?" by ticking either "yes" or "no." It is not clear how Prince Harry answered this question, and US immigration authorities have reportedly not responded to a Freedom of Information request to disclose this information.
Experts are urging him to be transparent about his application to avoid becoming a "political pawn." Senior lawyer Samuel Dewey has stated that if Prince Harry did tick the "yes" box, he would need a waiver to be granted a visa, which would require an in-person interview and approval from someone in authority.
The Heritage Foundation, a leading American think-tank, is seeking to determine how Harry managed to obtain his visa.
