Prince Harry finds himself in the midst of legal and public scrutiny following the release of his memoir, Spare, which candidly addresses his past drug usage. Concerns arose regarding the Duke of Sussex's US visa status, typically jeopardized by admissions of drug use, a ground for inadmissibility in the United States.
Despite the potential implications, royal commentator Lee Cohen suggests that President Joe Biden's administration is unlikely to act on Harry's visa status. Cohen points to Biden's previous expressions of admiration for Harry and Meghan's advocacy, indicating a favorable stance toward the couple.
Following the disclosure of Harry's drug use, demands surfaced for the release of his US immigration records. However, the Department for Homeland Security (DHS) rejected a Freedom of Information Act request, citing privacy concerns akin to health or financial information.
The Heritage Foundation pursued legal action against the DHS, seeking the disclosure of Prince Harry's immigration records. Nevertheless, the current US government appears indifferent to Harry's past drug use, emphasizing the confidentiality of immigration information.
As the situation unfolds, the stability of Prince Harry's US visa status remains intact, although uncertainties loom over potential developments post the 2024 US elections.
