Duke of Sussex’s immigration status under scrutiny amid speculation over future plans
Prince Harry has suffered a significant setback in his US visa dispute after a judge ordered the release of redacted immigration records, sparking renewed debate over his residency status.
The Duke of Sussex, who resides in the US with Meghan Markle and their two children, may soon face heightened legal scrutiny following Judge Carl Nichols’ ruling to disclose key documents in response to a Freedom of Information request from the Heritage Foundation. Three of the four records are set to go public today.
While commentators speculate on the potential consequences, including the remote possibility of deportation, political analysts suggest Harry is unlikely to be forced out of the US. Commentator Benjamin Butterworth dismissed the idea, pointing out that many public figures who have admitted to past drug use continue to live and work in the country without issue.
Meanwhile, discussions continue over where Harry would relocate if forced to leave. Some commentators believe he would prefer Canada over returning to the UK, citing his past fondness for the country. Others speculate whether a future Trump administration could take a harsher stance on his immigration status.
As speculation mounts, Harry’s visa case remains a contentious issue, with its long-term implications yet to be determined.
