Prince Harry’s visa demand established for the first judicial hearing under the administration of Donald Trump: Can he no longer stay in the United States?

Prince Harry’s visa status in the United States will undergo serious scrutiny while facing his first judicial hearing under the Donald Trump administration. As reported by Daily Mail, Judge Carl J. Nichols has ordered both Prince Harry and representatives of Heritage Foundation Appear in court at 2 pm on February 5. This will be the first time that Harry’s Visa case is approached under Trump’s leadership, since the president of the United States has expressed his desire for a stricter immigration application.
In a lawsuit last year, the same group of conservative experts had sued the Department of National Security (DHS) for access to Prince Harry’s visa records to determine if he made false statements about the previous use of drugs.

The Heritage Foundation: It is a group of conservative experts, which has been pressing for the release of Prince Harry’s immigration documents. They argue that the Duke could have failed to reveal his last drug use by requesting his visa. In his 2023 ‘Save’ memoirs, Harry openly admitted with cocaine, cannabis and psychedelic fungi, substances that must be declared in the Visas applications of the US special during the application process.

In September 2024, Judge Nichols had previously ruled that there was not a sufficient public interest in revealing Harry’s immigration records, stating that he had a legitimate privacy interest in keeping them confidential. However, this decision is now being challenged by the Heritage Foundation, which argues that transparency and responsibility are extremely important in this matter.
Nile Gardiner, director of the Margaret Thatcher Center of the Heritage Foundation for Liberty, emphasized the need for President Trump to intervene. He told the post: “I will urge the president to free Prince Harry’s immigration records and the president has that legal authority to do so. It is important because this is a subject of the rule of law, transparency and responsibility. No one should be above the law. “

In addition, he added: “Donald Trump begins in a new era of strict border control application, and you know, Prince Harry should be fully considered to account, since he has admitted a wide illegal use of drugs,” he added. “My firm expectation is that measures will be taken.”

In his memoirs, Prince Harry revealed that he tried cocaine at age 17 during a hunting trip. He wrote: “Of course I had been taking cocaine at that time … they offered me a line, and since then I had consumed a little more.”
These admissions have asked questions about whether drug use in their visa application and since then Trump faces increasing pressure to reveal Prince Harry’s immigration archive in the midst of accusations that the Duke of Sussex can have lied about its use of past drugs in your visa application. . As mentioned by the New York Post, before his electoral victory, in February 2024, Trump had declared: “He would not protect him. He betrayed the queen. That is unforgivable. He would be alone if it were for me.” : “We will have to do if (DHS-Department of Homeland Security) know something about drugs, and if you lied, they will have to take appropriate measures.”
