Prince Harry ‘regrets’ sharing drugs confession as Donald Trump’s word put to…
Prince Harry is facing a anxious waiting period as the release of documents related to his US visa application approaches, following a significant court ruling. Judge Carl Nichols has ordered the disclosure of the files as part of a Freedom of Information (FOI) request by the conservative think tank, the Heritage Foundation.
The think tank questioned Harry’s entry into the US in 2020 after he revealed his past use of cocaine, marijuana, and psychedelic mushrooms in his book Spare. Judge Nichols has instructed the US Department of Homeland Security to release the redacted documents by tomorrow at the latest.
The Heritage Foundation suggested that Harry may have concealed his previous illicit drug use, which could have made him ineligible for a US visa. They argued that his answers about past drug use in his visa application should have been disclosed, as they raise concerns about the integrity of the US government.
Royal expert Jennie Bond commented on how Harry might be feeling, given the impending document release. The former BBC Royal correspondent told the Mirror: “It will probably make him feel that wherever he goes in the world, someone will have it in for him. Quite honestly, if drug taking precluded anyone from living in the States, half of LA would be deported. How many people answer those visa questions totally truthfully? And what does it really matter?
We know Harry has taken drugs. He has said so. He probably regrets being so open now because this is a rather vindictive hassle he doesn’t need. What does this “think tank” hope to establish by pursuing him so doggedly?”.
“Are they trying to reveal double standards? Well, welcome to the real world. I hope – for once – that we can believe Trump when he says he is going to leave Harry alone.
Earlier this year, US President Donald Trump declared he would not deport Harry from America, telling The New York Post: “I’ll leave him alone.
He added: “He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.”
Harry’s spouse Meghan has previously been an outspoken critic of former reality star Trump, labeling him ‘divisive’ and a ‘misogynist’. Meghan expressed her support for his opponent Hillary Clinton in the 2016 US presidential election and hinted she might leave the US if he won, reports the Mirror.
In his contentious memoir, Harry stated cocaine “didn’t do anything for me”, adding: “Marijuana is different, that actually really did help me.
Mr Trump mentioned in a GB News interview with Nigel Farage in March last year that Harry should not receive special treatment.
When asked if the duke should have “special privileges” if he was found to have lied on his application, Mr Trump responded: “No. We’ll have to see if they know something about the drugs, and if he lied they’ll have to take appropriate action.
