Before Meghan Markle returned to her home state, she had initially planned to take the citizenship exam in the U.K. However, she admitted struggling to prepare for it during an episode of "Archetypes." "That citizenship exam is so hard! I was studying for it, and I remember thinking, 'Oh my goodness,'" she shared. "I would ask my husband, 'Did you know this? Did you know this?' And people would respond, 'Oh, I had no idea.'" While Harry has the option to exchange his British passport for an American one, his visa application has garnered attention following the release of his memoir, "Spare," which details his past struggles with substance abuse. Some royal experts have raised concerns that the book could potentially impact his residency status.
Angela Levin, speaking on GB News, noted, "At the end of February, there has been an agreement that all the documents for people who've come to live in America will be revealed, and that includes Prince Harry." She continued, "Now the trouble is there, has he mentioned that he takes a lot of drugs? Have they allowed him to come in regardless, or will they send him back to the U.K.? I mean, it's a huge thing."
Addressing the growing concerns regarding Harry's immigration status, Christi Jackson, Head of U.S. Immigration, issued a statement asserting that any admissions of drug use before the age of 18 should not affect his eligibility for a U.S. visa.
Jackson clarified, "If he had admitted to drug use when he was over 18, in order for it to lead to visa ineligibility, the admission would have to have been a valid admission, which means it cannot just be in the news or written in their book."
