Think Tank Reopens Battle for Immigration Records as Duke Buys Luxury Home in Portugal
Harry is once again facing legal challenges despite settling a significant case regarding his U.S. visa. The Duke's visa application came under scrutiny after he admitted to past drug use in his memoir, Spare. Though a judge ruled in his favour in September, keeping his immigration records private, the case has been reignited.
The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, has filed a new motion to "vacate" the previous ruling, arguing that the sealed communications between the Department of Homeland Security and the judge hindered their ability to make a strong appeal. The think tank is pushing for the unsealing of all ex parte correspondence, alleging "agency bad faith" in the handling of the case.
As the legal battle unfolds, Harry recently made a substantial purchase—a luxury holiday home in Portugal with wife Meghan Markle. This move could potentially grant him a 'Golden Visa,' offering easy access to European countries, though it won't facilitate travel to the UK.
The Duke’s new legal troubles come as King Charles and Queen Camilla continue their tour in Samoa, where they have been met with warm receptions. The timing of Harry's latest legal developments adds another layer to the ongoing tensions within the royal family.
