Prince Harry’s US Visa Battle Resurfaces Amid Trump’s Presidency

[Social Media]

 

The legal battle over Prince Harry’s US visa records has returned to court following Donald Trump’s re-election, with a conservative think tank pushing for the release of documents they claim could prove the duke lied about his past drug use. The Heritage Foundation has revived its lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security, arguing that transparency is necessary to determine whether Prince Harry was truthful in his visa application.  

 

In his 2023 memoir, *Spare*, Prince Harry openly admitted to using cocaine, cannabis, and psychedelic substances. If he disclosed this on his visa application before moving to California with his wife, Meghan Markle, in 2020, it could have impacted his eligibility. The case had previously been dismissed in September by a judge in Washington, but Trump’s return to office has led the think tank to pursue the matter once again, believing the new political climate could work in their favor.  

 

Judge Carl Nichols has agreed to reopen the case, summoning lawyers from all parties to a hearing at 2 p.m. on Wednesday. The hearing marks a significant moment in determining whether the Biden administration’s refusal to release the duke’s records will continue under Trump’s leadership. As president, Trump has the authority to direct federal agencies to disclose documents, and the think tank is urging him to intervene.  

 

Nile Gardiner, who heads the Heritage Foundation’s Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom, described Trump’s victory as a “game-changing” moment, claiming that Prince Harry is no longer “shielded” from scrutiny. He insists that the visa records could either expose false statements made by the duke or confirm that he received special treatment.  

 

Trump has not shied away from expressing his opinions on the matter. In February last year, he made his stance clear: “I wouldn’t protect him. He betrayed the Queen. That’s unforgivable. He would be on his own if it was down to me.” Trump has also previously suggested that if Harry had lied on his visa application, officials would “have to take appropriate action,” raising the possibility of deportation.  

 

The outcome of the case remains uncertain, but with the shifting political landscape, Prince Harry’s immigration status is once again under intense scrutiny.

Can it also be said about Elon Musk's entry into the US and citizenship application? 

[Thingamabob]

If he said on his application he had never taken drugs he was lying. If, on the other hand, he admitted to taking drugs on his application his visa should not have been granted. Hard to see a way out for him on this.

I see no reason for Trump to doff his cap to British aristocracy like Biden did.

 

The records should be released just like they would be for anyone else. Harry will just say he was honest on the visa application and he simply lied in the book to make it more interesting. Given the fact the whole book is full of lies, that will probably be sufficient to remain in the US, even though it will remove any shred of credibility that old Ginger Minerals might believe he still has. 

 

Let's hope he keeps his visa, we don't want him returning to Britain, especially if he brings the Mrs (and her Cali vocal fry) with him. Let the gruesome twosome stay in SoCal, preferably as far west as possible.

Not fair. Hes yours. And he can take The Duchess with him.

 

Lets do a Trump deal. Give us a Scouser occupied council house in trade. And yes, I know we get the better end of that one.

What a waste of taxpayer money. This isn't a public US official. Seriously, who cares. I'd much rather investigate all of the foreigners now revolving around Trump, like Musk. Once again, the Repubs expose their hypocrisy.

Did he not consume enough, or what is the problem?

It seems many Americans use illegal drugs all the time.

I don't think it's a massive undertaking.

 

Just get the form. Should take about 20 minutes. At 30 dollars an hour for the employee that's 10 bucks. Well worth it just for the craic.

I'd kick in for that GoFundMe.  And I don't really care about the couple one way or the other.  I'm just curious.  

 

But being the gub'ment, they'd probably budget a few million $$ for the effort, and the Dems would see campaign donations increase for a few days.  All in small donations from people who died years ago.

Can we throw in Cumbernauld to sweeten the deal?

Or if Melania received special treatment? But, of course Trump can well allow going after Harry by the Heritage ilk without giving another organization the same treatment going after Melania. My only concern would be equal treatment and I do not expect that from an Administration publicly supporting an enemies list.

Getting legal advice before publication would have been sensible. Let the chips fall where they may.

How do you know that he did not get legal advice.  He may have had advice and chose to ignore it!
