Harry and Meghan’s €14 million US residence is at risk. The Sussexes could lose if their appeal to make their US visa application public is successful. In this case, King Charles’s youngest son could face serious consequences, including the obligation to leave the United States and, consequently, also the millionaire villa of Montecito, where he lives with his wife Meghan Markle and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The Heritage Foundation has taken legal action against the US Department of Homeland Security to gain access to Harry’s visa records, and a US judge is reviewing the case.
Autobiography and drugs
In his autobiography ‘Spare’ – recalls the Mirror – Harry admitted to taking drugs as a young man, which led the US think tank to call for clarification on what the truth is about the prince’s visa, so that the American taxpayer can understand if he had declared his drug use. This also led to further questions as to why he was allowed to come and reside in the United States since drug use is prohibited.
In his bestselling book, Harry revealed that he has dabbled with marijuana, magic mushrooms, ayahuasca and cocaine to try to deal with his mother’s death, Princess Diana. The Heritage Foundation’s theory is that he could be denied U.S. citizenship if he ever applies for it in the future, because the variety of drugs he admitted to taking are either banned or strictly controlled. Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams explained to the Sun: ‘The fact of the matter is that it will be very embarrassing or could be very embarrassing. Harry may have included drug use on his application form. If he has not done so, it will undoubtedly make the news, and that will not be beneficial to the Sussexes.”
Renewal of the US visa
Currently Harry’s visa is valid, but will be subject to renewal in the future, which could also lead to difficulties. Fitzwilliams noted that there was discussion of “double standards” over whether Harry misled the United States in his application by not including his previous drug use or whether he was granted special treatment if he admitted it instead. Harry’s potential future application for US citizenship was also discussed, as he would be forced to renounce his royal title. In order to obtain a US passport, Harry would have to take the Oath of Allegiance, which would require him to “renounce allegiance to any foreign prince, state or sovereign”.
