DC court agrees to hear challenge over Prince Harry’s US visa records after he admitted taking drugs
A federal judge in Washington, DC will hear a conservative think tank’s organisation appeal to unseal Prince Harry’s US immigration records in June.
Nile Gardner, director of the Margaret Thatcher Centre for Freedom at the Heritage Foundation, tweeted on Tuesday that a hearing on his organisation’s suit will be heard on 6 June and be open to the press.
If a judge agrees to unseal the immigration records, it could have significant implications for Prince Harry’s legal status: in his autobiography, the British royal family member detailed his past drug use — even though past drug use can be grounds to deny a visa application in the US.
When Prince Harry filled out his US visa application, he was likely asked about his past drug use. The Heritage Foundation wants to know, given the revelations in his book, how he responded.
