While some believe this could lead to deportation, the controversy continues to elicit debate. The decision comes after a legal battle over whether the Duke of Sussex received special treatment during his immigration process.


Why are Prince Harry’s visa records being unsealed?

Judge Nichols, who was appointed by Donald Trump, mandated in his ruling that the government submit the redacted copies of Prince Harry's visa documents by March 18, 2025, at the latest.

The deadline for releasing the documents that will provide the most definitive proof to date regarding the Duke of Sussex's immigration fraud was set by Judge Carl Nichols, as per a report by the Daily Mail.

The Washington-based judge declared the redactions recommended by the Department of Homeland Security to be "appropriate."

Last year, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which is in charge of immigration in the United States, was sued by the right-wing Heritage Foundation after it denied a Freedom of Information request for Prince Harry's documents, as per a report by the Daily Mail.

According to Heritage, Harry might have lied on the forms when asked if he had ever used drugs.

What could the released documents reveal?

Although it's unclear what information will be made public, it might contain forms that show whether Harry answered "no" when asked if he used drugs. DHS attorneys have previously stated that a fourth item must be kept confidential while the other three will be made public with redactions, as per a report by the Daily Mail.

How does Prince Harry feel about the legal battle?

Prince Harry discussed his use of cannabis, cocaine, and magic mushrooms in both his Netflix TV series and his memoir, Spare. He has been embarrassed and upset by the case, and it has also made him wonder if he could be deported if it turns out that he lied.

He has previously been open about his drug use and claimed that cannabis allowed him to move past the trauma of losing his mother, Princess Diana.

Using the psychedelic drug ayahuasca, the Duke claimed to have discovered that his mother wanted him to be "happy."

How has the legal battle over his visa unfolded?

Judge Nichols denied Heritage's request to make all the documents available in September, citing the Duke's right to privacy.

However, following a hearing, he changed his mind and stated that he wished to disclose as much information as possible.

Judge Nichols stated in a prior hearing that "in my view that has to happen" and that he wished to make the "maximum amount" of relevant information available to the public, as per a report by the Daily Mail.

However, Judge Nichols stated that he did not wish to disclose Harry's immigration status, so some files may have significant redactions.

The director of Heritage's Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom, Nile Gardiner, spoke following the hearing and urged Trump to release the documents.

According to Heritage, Harry's March 2020 US visa application may indicate that he checked the "no" box when asked about his drug use.

DHS stated in earlier court documents that the records in question are especially sensitive since they would disclose Harry's immigration status in the US.

Despite being a high-profile person, Prince Harry still has a privacy interest in these kinds of documents and in his immigration or visa status in general, according to DHS.

Did Prince Harry receive special immigration treatment?

The initial inquiry aimed to ascertain whether Harry, who relocated to the United States after leaving the British royal family as a working member, was receiving "preferential treatment."

DHS rejected the Heritage Foundation's allegations as a "bare suspicion of government misconduct" and said that making Harry's documents public would not provide any "meaningful light" on the organization's workings.

Will Donald Trump deport Prince Harry?

However, President Trump recently criticized Meghan, calling her "terrible," and stated that he would not order him to leave the country.

Donald Trump claimed he was only granting Harry a reprieve because "his wife is causing him enough trouble."
