In response, the Heritage Foundation has initiated legal action against Joe Biden’s administration, seeking Prince Harry’s visa documentation to ascertain whether he disclosed his drug use. The foundation alleges potential preferential treatment and is pursuing the case under the Freedom of Information Act.
The court proceedings, currently underway in the Federal Court in the District of Columbia, highlight concerns over the Duke of Sussex's admission affecting his immigration status. The Heritage Foundation argues that Prince Harry's voluntary and profitable disclosure of controlled substance violations, coupled with detailed accounts of his immigration decisions, could have adverse consequences.
The foundation contends that Prince Harry, despite being aware of the potential immigration implications, chose to share this information for substantial financial gain, selling aspects of his private life for over $135 million. The legal challenge emphasizes the unique nature of the case, citing the Duke's purported encouragement of illegal drug use and the extensive public coverage of his travels.
The Heritage Foundation maintains that the case is not an infringement on Prince Harry's right to privacy but rather an examination of potential immigration consequences stemming from his voluntary disclosures.
