Prince Harry’s memoir, ‘Spare,’ has put the Duke of Sussex under scrutiny, particularly over his admission of drug use. This revelation has raised concerns about whether he declared this information on his US visa application. The Washington think tank, The Heritage Foundation, is pursuing legal action against the US government to access Prince Harry’s immigration records, including the forms he filled out upon his arrival in the US on March 14, 2020. Typically, visa applicants are required to disclose any recreational drug use.
Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond suggests that any irregularity in Harry’s visa documents could cause significant anxiety for him and his wife, Meghan Markle. Bond explains that such admissions can have far-reaching consequences, particularly considering the current political climate. However, she also believes that the Biden administration’s continued support for Harry should provide some reassurance.
According to an insider source, it is unlikely that the US would deport Harry. Legal experts are confident that a solution can be found to navigate this issue. Nevertheless, the situation has brought unwanted worry and embarrassment to Harry.
If the situation took a dramatic turn, Bond believes Harry and Meghan might relocate to a different country, but she doubts it would be the United Kingdom. She suggests that Canada could be a potential option.
The concerns raised by Harry’s drug use admission highlight the importance of transparency and accuracy in visa applications. It also underscores the potential consequences of disclosing personal information, especially for public figures like Prince Harry.
