The Duke of Sussex’s US visa application should remain private despite him admitting taking drugs in his memoir, a judge has ruled.
Prince Harry wrote about using marijuana, cocaine, and psychedelic mushrooms in his memoir Spare, which was released in January 2023.
Visa forms ask about drug use – an issue that can derail an application. A lawsuit, from the conservative Heritage Foundation think tank, sought to compel the government to release the records to see if the prince disclosed his usage.
But US judge Carl Nichols ruled on Monday that “the public does not have a strong interest in disclosure of the duke’s immigration records”.
