Prince Harry Faces Visa Scrutiny Amid Past Drug Use Admissions – Trump and Allies Weigh In

 Former President Donald Trump recently commented on the controversy surrounding Prince Harry’s U.S. visa status, hinting that he may take “appropriate action” if it turns out that Harry misled immigration officials about his past drug use. Trump’s statements were made in an interview with British broadcaster Nigel Farage, a known critic of both Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Trump implied that if he were to regain office and it was confirmed that Harry lied on his visa application, he would take measures that might affect Harry’s residency in the U.S.

This controversy began when Prince Harry openly admitted to past drug use in his memoir, Spare. The U.S. requires visa applicants to disclose any history of drug use, as this could impact their application status. Following Harry’s admission, the conservative Heritage Foundation took legal steps to access his visa records, seeking transparency on whether Harry’s visa application accurately reflected his drug history. A court recently ruled that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security must disclose these immigration documents for judicial review​.

Trump’s remarks underscore the political sensitivity of Harry’s residency and his relationship with the U.S. immigration system. While Trump did not confirm specific actions, he suggested that further investigation could reveal the extent of Harry’s disclosures and, potentially, lead to repercussions if any information was omitted​.
