As is well known, Prince Harry resigned from his official duties and moved to the United States with his wife, Meghan Markle, in 2020, where he currently resides on a visa. At the same time, when applying for it, he had to indicate whether he had used drugs before – as he reported in his memoirs and in their Netflix series. If this is not done, the visa may be invalidated. According to the country’s laws, citizens who admit to illegal drug use or have been previously convicted of related crimes can be banned from the country.
However, in order to still gain entry to the United States, one must go through a lengthy process that may include blood and urine tests, a chest X-ray, and an interview to confirm that one is not currently using drugs.
In connection with Prince Harry’s drug past, the The Heritage Foundation organization filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security to prevent immigration authorities from giving Prince Harry special treatment. The organization requested the release of the documents on this subject under the US Freedom of Information Act. The application was rejected in the first instance, and then the The Heritage Foundation filed an action to annul the decision.
The court also rejected this, but the ministry disclosed that there is indeed a record of when the prince entered and left the country, but they did not want to reveal more than that, saying: although Prince Harry was once a public figure, this does not mean , that he would not have the right to privacy because of this. As they said, they would only be willing to release documents about the case if there is evidence that the government acted improperly.
The case has been going on for at least a year, and the seriousness of the situation was only added to the severity by a statement by former US President Donald Trump, according to which he would not protect the prince, who, according to him, betrayed World War II. Queen Elizabeth. Moreover, he declared, the Biden administration was too kind to him, but if it were up to him, he would be left alone. The latest development can also be linked to the American leadership, more precisely to one of its representatives, the United States’ British ambassador, Jane Hartley, who recently made statements – in response to Trump’s words – that the prince will not be deported from the United States as long as Biden is president. .
Published at the beginning of the month, the The Heritage Foundation According to a legal document filed by the court, they believe Hartley’s statements undermined the Biden administration’s position that the documents should remain secret, and also revealed the prince’s immigration status. It is a document covering more than a hundred pages, in which there is a complete transcript of the ambassador’s previous statements. The US government has reportedly refused to release Prince Harry’s US visa records due to the ambassador’s comments. As lawyers for the Department of Homeland Security put it, Hartley was simply responding to Donald Trump’s earlier comments that he would even consider deporting the prince if he were president again. As reported, the ambassador did not reveal any personal information about the royal family’s immigration status. However, the submission also dismissed the idea that Hartley had ruled out Prince Harry’s deportation, regardless of what happens in the future.
If anything, Hartley’s comment that the prince would not be deported under the Biden administration is consistent with the position the defendant has taken in this lawsuit, namely that the prince’s entry into and stay in the United States does not indicate that the government his lack of authority
the lawyers put it.
THE The Heritage Foundation organization, on the other hand, claims that Hartley made a statement not only about the Duke of Sussex’s current immigration status, but also about his future immigration status. They are demanding the release of Prince Harry’s visa records to ensure that he admitted to drug use in his visa application and that he was not given special treatment by immigration authorities because of his royal background.
The drugs helped him
Prince Harry recalled his experiences with drugs at several points in his autobiography. As he wrote, after their first date with Meghan Markle, for example, he went over to one of his friends, where they drank tequila, weed and Brain elves they watched, then the duchess unexpectedly called him on FaceTime, so he had to hold back, but in the end he didn’t fall. According to the prince, he regularly smoked cannabis and used cocaine as a student at Eton.
I also used cocaine during this time. I was offered it at someone’s house in the country on a hunting weekend, and I’ve done it a few more times since then. It wasn’t much of an adventure and I didn’t enjoy it as much as the others, but it made me feel different and that was my main goal. Feel. To be different
– the prince wrote in the volume, declaring that at that time he was willing to try almost anything that upset the established order. In addition to cocaine, he also experimented with ketamine and magic mushrooms. He also tried the latter with his friends, and he reported on his experiences in detail in the book.
Next to the toilet was a round, silver-colored trash can, the lid of which could be opened with a pedal. I stared at the trash can, then it looked back at me, then it turned into a head
he remarked, adding that he hallucinated that he was talking to the trash can.
According to the prince, the psychedelic drugs helped him cope with the grief and trauma of the death of his mother, Princess Diana. Then, when he was older, he realized that he doesn’t have to be sad all the time to prove that he misses his mother. Last February, he reported his experiences to a Hungarian therapist, Gábor Máté, explaining that while marijuana helped him process his trauma, cocaine did not.
Cocaine use was more of a social reason in my life, I tried to belong somewhere. It made me feel different than I usually do, and that was the point. But marijuana is different, it really helped me
said the prince then.
