Nile Gardiner, the director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at the Heritage Foundation, has questioned why the Biden administration supported keeping Prince Harry's records hidden from public scrutiny. Gardiner emphasized the significance of the outcome, stating, "The stakes are very high for Prince Harry. If the judge rules in favor of the Department of Homeland Security releasing his immigration records, they will be made available to the general public."
The Heritage Foundation has filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security, demanding the release of Prince Harry's records due to the department's lack of transparency. Gardiner underscored the purpose behind the lawsuit, saying, "We want to determine whether Prince Harry provided false information regarding his drug use on his immigration application. If Harry has nothing to hide, he should welcome the release of those records."
Gardiner argued that the American people have a right to know about the Duke's past. In his book, Prince Harry openly discussed his use of marijuana, cocaine, and psychedelic mushrooms, which was published in January 2023. Speaking to The Express, he further stated, "I believe that the American people strongly dislike the notion that someone should receive special treatment based on their social status, nobility, or belonging to an elite group. Prince Harry, in many ways, represents a ruling elite that expects preferential treatment. The American people want to see equal application of the law to everyone."
Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, relocated to the United States in the summer of 2020. They are currently raising their two children, four-year-old Prince Archie and two-year-old Princess Lilibet, in Montecito.
