This week in Washington, D.C., an American court is set to deliberate on Prince Harry’s bid to keep his immigration records under wraps.

The stakes are high; a ruling against the Duke of Sussex could jeopardize his aspirations for U.S. citizenship.

As the proceedings unfold on Friday, attention will focus on whether the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will be compelled to disclose details about Harry’s immigration status.

A think tank known for its conservative stance has initiated legal action against the DHS, seeking access to documents that could reveal whether Prince Harry disclosed his past drug use when he entered the United States in 2020.

This inquiry hinges on a crucial question that all foreign nationals must answer: Have you ever been a drug abuser or addict?

A simple “yes” or “no” could make or break Harry’s quest for permanent residency.

In his memoir, “Spare,” Harry openly admitted to experimenting with several substances, including marijuana, cocaine, and magic mushrooms.

This revelation raises eyebrows and questions about whether he answered truthfully on his immigration forms.

The implications are significant, as any discrepancy could lead to severe consequences for his visa status.

Niall Gardner, director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at the Heritage Foundation, argues that the public deserves transparency in this matter.

He suggested that the Duke might have enjoyed preferential treatment due to his connections within the Biden administration.

Gardner’s comments underline a growing sentiment that the elite can sometimes evade the rules that apply to ordinary citizens.

During a recent appearance on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” Harry acknowledged his interest in pursuing U.S. citizenship but emphasized that it wasn’t his top priority at the moment.

However, the potential fallout from the court’s decision looms large over him.

Immigration attorney Samuel Dewey pointed out that if Harry did not disclose his drug use upon entering the country, it could lead to the cancellation of his visa—an outcome that would spell disaster for his citizenship ambitions.

Dewey further elaborated that if Harry did indeed admit to his past drug use, he would need to secure a waiver for his visa.

The question remains: who authorized that waiver?

This inquiry reveals a deeper layer of intrigue surrounding the Duke’s immigration journey.

On the other hand, the DHS is expected to argue that revealing Harry’s immigration details would violate his privacy rights.
