"Judge Orders Release of Prince Harry's Visa Application Information in Bitter Court Battle"

A federal judge has ordered the Department of Homeland Security to submit documents related to Prince Harry's visa for review after the department refused to release them to the Heritage Foundation, which is seeking to determine if the prince's drug use was considered in granting him a U.S. visa. The foundation contends that it has a right to see the documents as part of research into whether Prince Harry had been improperly allowed to reside in the United States given his admissions of drug use. The possibility that the prince concealed the drug use in applying for a visa could carry immigration consequences, and waivers he may have been granted generally would have been precluded by the nature of the drug use he described in public interviews and his memoir.
