Prince Harry\u2019s private US visa files are set to be released today, after a US court ordered the documents to be made public amid concerns about comments he previously made.<\/p>\n

District Judge Carl Nichols ordered the release of Harry\u2019s immigration files as part of a Freedom of Information (FOI) request, giving the deadline of Tuesday 18 March.<\/p>\n

It follows allegations from the conservative Heritage Foundation that the\u00a0royal<\/a>\u00a0may not have told the full truth when he applied for his\u00a0visa<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 something that the\u00a0US<\/a>\u00a0takes very seriously.<\/p>\n

Why are Prince Harry\u2019s visa files being released?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank based in Washington, DC, has accused Harry of lying about his past drug use on his application, basing this off of comments he made in his 2023 memoir\u00a0Spare.<\/em><\/p>\n

All applications for visas to live in the US ask about historical drug use, with applicants running the risk of having their case rejected if they admit to anything.<\/p>\n

If you don’t tell the truth, as Harry is accused of doing, people face a lifetime ban on entering the country.<\/p>\n

In his memoir, Harry recalled how he first tried cocaine at the age of 17, writing: “It wasn’t much fun, and it didn’t make me particularly happy, as it seemed to make everyone around me, but it did make me feel different, and that was the main goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

While cocaine \u2018didn\u2019t do anything\u2019 for him, but found marijuana was \u2018different\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat actually really did help me,\u201d Harry explained.<\/p>\n

Could Prince Harry get deported?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Harry and wife\u00a0Meghan<\/a>\u00a0decided to settle down in California after their shock split from the Royal Family, but will they be allowed to stay?<\/p>\n

If it\u2019s just down to\u00a0US President Donald Trump<\/a>, it looks like he\u2019s safe for now.<\/p>\n

Last month, Trump suggested that he wouldn\u2019t send Harry packing anytime soon, telling The New York Post: “I’ll leave him alone.”<\/p>\n

He added: “He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.”<\/p>\n

However, in a GB News interview with Nigel Farage last March, he also argued that Harry shouldn\u2019t have any preferential treatment.<\/p>\n

He said: “No. We’ll have to see if they know something about the drugs, and if he lied they’ll have to take appropriate action.”<\/p>\n

CBS News legal contributor Jessica Levinson said the issue here is not the drug use itself, but whether or not Harry has lied.<\/p>\n

“There’s a lot of discretion that the government has, but merely admitting to drug use very often is not disqualifying from entering the country, but lying about drug use can be more serious and potentially could be disqualifying,\u201d she\u00a0explained<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
