Prince Harry’s US Immigration Files Sought After Revelations of Drug Use

Prince Harry, known for his controversial statements and candid nature, has found himself in hot water due to his admission of drug use.

A group called the Heritage Foundation is now suing the US government for access to Harry's immigration files, raising questions about how he was allowed entry into the country as a known drug user.

Under US law, individuals with a history of illegal drug abuse are typically denied entry.

However, the Heritage Foundation argues that there should not be two sets of rules and demands transparency regarding Harry's visa application.

In his memoir “Spare,” Harry openly admitted to using marijuana, cocaine, magic mushrooms, and even experimenting with the hallucinogenic Amazonian plant ayahuasca, which he described as a way to remove life's filters.

The US visa application includes a question about drug abuse or addiction, and answering “yes” can result in visa denial.

The late British singer Amy Winehouse, who died of an overdose, faced this consequence.

However, admitting to drug use does not automatically lead to a ban.

The Heritage Foundation filed a legal complaint, spanning nearly 1,400 pages, emphasizing the immense public interest in knowing how Harry answered that crucial question.

Did he lie or tell the truth?

According to sources close to the case, the think tank's freedom of information request made on March 8th has been met with obstruction from officials.

Some even claim that the Biden administration has not fully cooperated in releasing the requested information.

The government's denial of the Freedom of Information (FOI) request prompted the Heritage Foundation to appeal the decision.

Interestingly, the US Citizenship and Immigration Service's website provides online records for other notable figures like George Michael and John Lennon, leaving one to wonder why information on Harry is being withheld.

This situation raises concerns about Harry's patronage of charitable organizations such as Scotty's Little Soldiers, Wellchild, and the Invictus Games.

These entities do not endorse drug use, so it is questionable for them to maintain their association with a known drug user who advocates for drug consumption.

This dilemma poses a risk, as children who look up to Harry may be influenced by his statements about the usefulness of cannabis.

If these charities and entities choose to continue their association with Harry, they may face a loss of support from individuals who cannot reconcile their work with the endorsement of drug use.

It is crucial for them to carefully consider their own reputations rather than cling to an unpopular connection with the royal family.

The majority of Americans are now calling for a review of Prince Harry's visa.

A recent poll conducted by strategists Redfield and Wilton for Newsweek revealed that 54% of the 1,500 registered voters surveyed believed that his visa should be reviewed following his admission of recreational cocaine and psychedelic mushroom use.

Only 29% opposed the idea, while 17% remained undecided.

This polling data comes in the wake of the Heritage Foundation's announcement that it is suing the Department of Homeland Security to bring Harry's visa application into the public domain.

Washington-based commentator Niall Gardner, aligned with the Heritage Foundation, asserts that the case is strong, emphasizing the importance of applying US immigration law equally to all applicants.

The principle of equal treatment under the law is fundamental, and no one should receive preferential treatment.

The Heritage Foundation's lawsuit seeks to ensure that immigration laws are effectively applied in all cases, without exceptions.

As the legal battle unfolds, the public eagerly awaits further developments in this high-profile case.
