The Heritage Foundation has been making repeated Freedom of Information Act requests to obtain the paperwork related to his visa application. However, the Department of Homeland Security is refusing to cooperate with the investigation and insisting that the details of Prince Harry's American visa application will remain confidential.
The Heritage Foundation's investigation is aimed at determining whether Prince Harry provided false information about his drug use, as drug use can be a barrier to obtaining a visa.
It's widely known that Harry has admitted to using drugs in his recent memoir, titled "Spare." In the book, he openly discusses his use of illegal substances such as cocaine and mushrooms.
From Ok! Magazine:
The Department of Homeland Security declared that the details of Prince Harry's American visa application will remain sealed despite the Heritage Foundation submitting a Freedom of Information Act request to obtain the paperwork.
It was ruled that despite the Duke of Sussex being a "public figure," that doesn't mean he must "forfeit all rights of privacy."
After the foundation lost their argument the first time around, staffer Nile Gardiner stated, "The Department of Homeland Security’s efforts to stonewall the Heritage Foundation’s Freedom of Information request are unacceptable, and we will be contesting their position."
"This argument makes no sense, but is not surprising coming from the zero transparency Biden administration," he added.
In Harry's book, he explained he first tried cocaine while he was away at boarding school at age 17.
"It wasn’t much fun, and it didn’t make me particularly happy, as it seemed to make everyone around me," the author recalled. "But it did make me feel different, and that was the main goal."
He also revealed he once took mushrooms while hanging out at Friends star Courteney Cox's house.
In the Apple TV+ series The Me You Can't See, Harry revealed he would often take drugs and drink alcohol during his younger days so he wouldn't have to deal with the depression and anxiety he experienced.
Although Harry has acknowledged being a former user of illegal substances, it is difficult to ascertain whether he currently engages in drug use.
The decision to keep the details of his visa application private only intensifies speculation, and if he genuinely wants to dispel these rumors, making the information public would be a straightforward solution.
