- U.S. FEDERAL JUDGE RULES THAT PRINCE HARRY’S IMMIGRATION RECORDS MUST BE MADE PUBLIC: A U.S. federal judge has mandated the public release of Prince Harry’s immigration records following a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. The organization seeks to determine if the Duke of Sussex disclosed his past drug use when applying for his U.S. visa. In his 2023 memoir, “Spare,” Prince Harry admitted to using substances such as cocaine, marijuana, and psychedelics. Under U.S. immigration law, such admissions can impact visa eligibility.
