- A U.S. judge has ordered Prince Harry’s immigration records to be made public by March 18, following questions about his visa application and past drug use.
- The Heritage Foundation claims Harry’s admissions of drug use in his memoir Spare could have disqualified him from obtaining a U.S. visa.
- The decision coincides with Meghan Markle’s Netflix series launch, adding further attention to the couple.
A U.S. judge has ordered that Prince Harry’s immigration records be made public by Tuesday, March 18. The ruling follows ongoing speculation about the Duke of Sussex’s visa application and whether it addressed his past drug use, as detailed in his memoir Spare.
The Controversy Over Harry’s Visa Application
Harry, who relocated to California in 2020 with his wife Meghan Markle and their two children, has faced scrutiny after the conservative think tank Heritage Foundation filed a Freedom of Information (FOI) request. They allege Harry’s admission of drug use, including cocaine and marijuana, could have disqualified him from obtaining a U.S. visa.
The judge, Carl Nichols, has now compelled the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to release a redacted version of Harry’s visa application. This development marks a reversal from a previous ruling last September, when Nichols concluded there was no compelling public interest in the disclosure.

The speculation intensified after Prince Harry’s autobiography, Spare, revealed candid details of his drug use. He admitted cocaine “didn’t do anything” for him but noted marijuana was “different” and genuinely helpful. These admissions have fueled the Heritage Foundation’s case, which argues visa applicants are required to disclose drug use honestly.
Timing Amid Meghan’s TV Series Launch
The ruling comes shortly after Meghan Markle’s new Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, premiered to lukewarm reviews. Though critics remained unimpressed, the show has already secured a second season set to release later this year.
