Judge Orders Release of Prince Harry's U.S. Visa Records

The Heritage Foundation's request to disclose the Duke of Sussex's immigration files, citing his past drug use, has been granted with redactions due by Tuesday.

A U.S. court has ruled that Prince Harry's visa application records must be released by March 18, 2025, following a Freedom of Information request by the Heritage Foundation.
The conservative think tank questioned Harry's 2020 U.S. entry, citing admissions of drug use in his 2023 memoir, 'Spare,' including cocaine and marijuana use.
Judge Carl Nichols, who previously denied the request in 2024 citing insufficient public interest, reversed course after renewed legal pressure from the Heritage Foundation.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has agreed to release redacted versions of the documents, omitting sensitive information as determined by the court.
Former President Donald Trump stated he would not seek Harry's deportation but criticized the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, fueling ongoing media scrutiny.
