Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, encountered a challenging and emotional situation in a U.S. court as he sought to secure his right to remain and work in his adopted country.
After stepping down from his royal duties and relocating to California with his wife Meghan Markle and their son Archie, Prince Harry sought a green card for permanent residency and work authorization in the United States.
However, his application was met with obstacles and delays, as allegations surfaced regarding his past drug use and potential misuse of his royal status.
In a gripping and revealing video obtained by the Daily Mail, Prince Harry is captured in a vulnerable moment, shedding tears as he was stripped of his royal title by a judge who treated him like any other immigrant.
The footage, recorded by a court reporter, depicts Prince Harry arriving at a federal court in Washington, D.C., where he faced legal action from the Conservative Heritage Foundation seeking access to his immigration records.
The lawsuit, stemming from Prince Harry’s admission of drug use in his memoir “Spare,” accused him of violating immigration laws and receiving preferential treatment due to his royal connections.
Accompanied by his legal counsel and security team, Prince Harry appeared apprehensive and uneasy as he entered the courtroom, where he was met by an unsympathetic and doubtful Judge Robert Jones.
Refusing to acknowledge Prince Harry’s royal status, Judge Jones addressed him as Mr. Windsor, his legal surname, and proceeded to question him about his immigration status and green card application.
Despite the tense atmosphere, Prince Harry maintained composure and affirmed his willingness to cooperate.
During the proceedings, Judge Jones confronted Prince Harry about his past drug use, emphasizing the seriousness of such offenses in relation to visa and green card eligibility.
Prince Harry acknowledged his previous actions but highlighted his efforts to overcome addiction and seek professional help.
He assured the judge that he had disclosed his drug use in his application forms, providing details of his rehabilitation and contributions to society.
Despite this, Judge Jones stressed that Prince Harry would not receive special treatment based on his former royal status.
Following a thorough review of Prince Harry’s case and records, Judge Jones expressed concerns regarding discrepancies and inconsistencies, casting doubt on Prince Harry’s credibility and intentions.
Citing objections from various parties, including the British government, the royal family, and the public, Judge Jones made the decision to deny Prince Harry’s green card application and order his deportation from the U.S.
Prince Harry was given a 30-day window to appeal the ruling or depart voluntarily.
Visibly shaken and distraught by the judge’s verdict, Prince Harry pleaded for mercy, emphasizing his adherence to the law, tax compliance, service to his country, and sacrifices made for his family.
Expressing his deep connection to the United States and his loved ones residing there, Prince Harry implored the judge to reconsider, appealing to his humanity.
Despite his emotional plea, Prince Harry’s fate hung in the balance as the judge’s final decision loomed, leaving the Duke of Sussex in a state of uncertainty and distress.
