The latest buzz in the world of royal news is all about Prince Harry and his visa situation, which has the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) scrambling.
You might have caught wind of this unfolding saga on Royal Grift’s YouTube channel.
The DHS recently faced a setback when they attempted to dismiss the Heritage Foundation’s challenge to Harry’s immigration status through a summary judgment.
Now, the stage is set for a courtroom clash scheduled for February 23, 2024, at 2:30 p.m.
What’s fueling this legal fire?
It all circles back to Harry’s candid revelations in his memoir, “Spare.”
In it, he openly discusses his past experiences with drugs—cocaine, marijuana, and psychedelic mushrooms.
This admission has raised eyebrows, especially at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank that’s now questioning how Harry managed to enter the U.S. back in 2020 given his colorful history.
The Heritage Foundation has been relentless, submitting a Freedom of Information Act request to the DHS.
However, the DHS has been less than cooperative, arguing that Harry’s drug use is a matter of private concern rather than public interest.
Their stance?
Despite Harry being a well-known figure in the U.K., he should be treated as an ordinary citizen in the U.S., which means his immigration records are off-limits.
In a rather defensive posture, DHS representatives are keeping their cards close to their chest, revealing minimal information about Harry’s immigration status.
Meanwhile, Harry’s narrative suggests that while he found cocaine to be a disappointment, he did find comfort in marijuana.
This detail has not gone unnoticed by the Heritage Foundation’s legal team, who argue that under U.S. law, such admissions typically lead to a firm denial of entry.
But the plot thickens.
DHS has countered the allegations from the Heritage Foundation by suggesting that if they disclose details about Harry, they would have to do the same for everyone else.
Their attorney, Mr. Bardo, emphasizes that there’s no concrete evidence showing that Harry was ever convicted of any drug-related crime.
He dismisses the Heritage Foundation’s claims as mere speculation.
Meanwhile, Harry isn’t just dealing with his visa woes.
He’s currently embroiled in yet another legal battle in the U.K. against Associated Newspapers, accusing them of intrusive practices like phone tapping and bugging his home.
As these two legal dramas unfold simultaneously, it raises the stakes for Harry in a significant way.
Back in the U.S., it appears that DHS is going to great lengths to shield Harry from potential legal repercussions related to his past.
This raises a crucial question: Did Harry misrepresent his drug use on his visa application, or did the DHS simply ignore the red flags?
The implications of this case could be far-reaching.
If the DHS manages to keep Harry’s past under wraps, it could establish a troubling precedent for future immigration cases.
