The ongoing saga surrounding Prince Harry’s residency in the United States amidst allegations of drug use has taken a new turn, with activists and officials weighing in on the matter.
At the center of the controversy is the US ambassador to Britain’s recent statements regarding Prince Harry’s visa status, sparking a heated debate on whether he will face deportation due to his admission of drug use.
Jane Hartley, a key figure at the Heritage Foundation think tank, has capitalized on the remarks made by the US ambassador, Jane Hartley, suggesting that Prince Harry will not be forced to leave the US under President Joe Biden’s administration.
The revelation that Prince Harry disclosed his cocaine use in his memoir, “Spear,” has raised concerns about the legality of his visa application, as drug admissions could potentially lead to visa denial under US immigration laws.
The Heritage Foundation, based in Washington, D.C., has cited the US ambassador’s statements as grounds for demanding transparency regarding Prince Harry’s visa records.
In a bid to shed light on the situation, the foundation has urged the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to release the relevant information under freedom of information laws, highlighting the need for clarity on Prince Harry’s immigration status.
Ms. Hartley’s reassurances during an interview with Sky News have provided some clarity on the matter, asserting that Prince Harry is safe from deportation under the current administration.
This stance contrasts with previous comments made by former US President Donald Trump, who hinted at the possibility of deporting Prince Harry if discrepancies were found in his visa application.
Recent developments indicate that Prince Harry’s visa documents have been submitted to a US court for review, with a court filing obtained by Newsweek revealing the Heritage Foundation’s push for transparency.
The foundation emphasized the significance of making public certain details related to Prince Harry’s case, underscoring the public interest in accessing this information.
In a statement published by the Telegraph newspaper and attributed to the Heritage Foundation, Ms. Hartley’s firm stance on Prince Harry’s residency status under the Biden administration was reiterated.
The foundation emphasized that regardless of future circumstances, the administration is committed to retaining Prince Harry in the US, even in exceptional circumstances, signaling a resolute position on the matter.
Despite mounting pressure, the Biden administration has refrained from disclosing Prince Harry’s visa application details, leaving the public and activists in suspense.
Prince Harry, along with his wife Meghan Markle and their children, has resided in the US for nearly four years, establishing a life in California since their move in 2020.
The birth of their daughter, Princess Lilibet, in 2021 added a new chapter to their American journey, amidst the backdrop of this unfolding controversy.
