Prince Harry’s visa records ‘likely’ to be opened as questions swirl around drug use, special treatment, judge says

A federal judge said Wednesday that he will “likely” order the release of Prince Harry’s immigration files, which could reveal whether the Duke of Sussex was lawfully issued a US visa — or whether the royal could be subject to deportation for lying to authorities about his past drug use.

DC US District Court Judge Carl J. Nichols made the determination during a hearing for a case brought by lawyers at the conservative Heritage Foundation, who sued the Department of Homeland Security to compel the release of the 40-year-old’s records.

“To the maximum extent possible, I’m required to make public everything that can be made public,” Nichols told both parties, adding that he had to take care any disclosures do not violate US privacy laws shielding the Duke.
