Prince Harry was recently seen beaming after the federal government confirmed that he did not receive any special treatment when he applied for a visa in the US. The Duke of Sussex appeared at ease as he ran errands in Santa Barbara, California, where he resides with his wife, Meghan Markle. Allegations of lying about his drug use on his visa papers had been a concern, but a lawyer from the Department of Homeland Security stated that his application followed all the rules and regulations.
Harry has been public about his past drug use, which could have affected his immigration status had it been disclosed in his application when he moved to the US in 2020. The released documents from the case were heavily redacted to protect Harry’s privacy and avoid potential harassment.
The chief FOIA officer at DHS determined that releasing any portion of Harry’s records could easily reveal his immigration status, stating that such transparency could expose him to harassment and unwanted attention. The released documents also included references to a hearing about the case which involved discussions of prominent figures like Sting.
The legal battle over Harry’s visa application has raised questions about transparency and accountability, with the Heritage Foundation calling for the full release of his records to the public. Despite initial concerns about Harry’s immigration status, the government’s decision confirmed that he had not received preferential treatment. Speculation around his potential deportation by former President Donald Trump has lessened, with Trump now citing his reasons for not taking action as Harry having “enough problems with his wife.”
