Once again, the spotlight is back on the monarch of Montecito. A US judge has now ruled that Prince Harry’s visa documents must be made public by Tuesday – in a bid to find out whether the Duke of Sussex lied on his immigration files about drug use. In the end, truth will out…
The release of the documents will help shed light on whether the Prince misled authorities over historic drug use. It is thought that the visa paperwork may include forms that would show whether the California-based monarch ticked ‘no’ when asked if he used illegal drugs – after both his own memoir, Spare, and his Netflix series, Harry & Meghan, revealed the renegade royal had dabbled with cannabis, cocaine and psychedelic mushrooms. It’s hardly the most noble of habits, eh?
Even President Donald Trump has waded into the matter. As Mr S wrote in January, after his inauguration the new president vowed to take ‘appropriate action’ if it emerged that the Duke of Sussex had lied on his visa forms. The intervention followed sustained pressure from the Heritage Foundation think tank that started probing the prince after his drug-taking confessions began to trickle out in his self-congratulatory publication. The organisation has been hot on Harry’s heels, even going so far as to sue the Department of Homeland Security last year after the agency refused a Freedom of Information request for details of Harry’s files. Talk about being on the warpath!
Trump previously fumed to the Express US before the election that if the British prince found himself in trouble, ‘I wouldn’t protect [Harry]. He betrayed the Queen. That’s unforgivable. He would be on his own if it was down to me’. However the President has since said he would not in fact deport Harry if the royal was found to have lied on the documents, remarking: ‘He’s got enough problems with his wife’. Ouch.
