A U.S. judge has ruled that some of Prince Harry’s visa records must be released by March 18, 2025. The decision follows a legal battle over whether the Duke of Sussex was truthful on his immigration paperwork regarding past drug use.
The ruling, made by Judge Carl Nichols, comes after the right-wing Heritage Foundation sued the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for access to Harry’s visa files as per Daily Mail.
Judge Nichols approved the redactions proposed by DHS, stating they were appropriate. The files that will be made public could include immigration forms showing whether Harry denied past drug use. However, one document will remain private.
In his decision, Judge Nichols instructed that the government should present the redacted versions of the specified documents to the court by March 18, 2025. The judge deemed these redactions as appropriate.
The argument posed by The Heritage Foundation is that releasing the relevant documents would help ascertain if Prince Harry was given special consideration during his U.S. visa application process.
The team suggests that he might have denied drug use in a specific question, even though he openly discussed using marijuana, cocaine, and psychedelics in his book “Spare” and the Netflix series.
In previous court filings, DHS maintained that Harry’s immigration records should remain private, arguing that, despite being a public figure, he still had a right to privacy regarding his visa status.
The agency also stated that releasing the files would not provide meaningful insight into immigration law enforcement. Initially, in September 2024, the judge ruled that Harry’s right to privacy outweighed the public interest.
Initially, I had second thoughts, but eventually, I decided to spill the beans while safeguarding confidential matters. Speaking about transparency in the open, I believed it was crucial and my goal was to share as much data as feasible.
