Prince Harry's US visa has been a matter of hot debate ever since he moved there with his American wife, Meghan Markle, at the end of 2020. A US think tank went to the courts to seek clarification over whether the Duke of Sussex had declared his previous drug use on the form, after he admitted to taking illegal drugs in his bombshell memoir, Spare.
The Heritage Foundation wanted Harry's immigration records to be made public, as taking drugs can be grounds for the US Government to reject a US visa application. Despite arguing the matter was in the public interest, in March a US judge ruled that matters concerning his visa were private and not to be disclosed.
However, the Trump administration has unearthed new documents suggesting that Harry is in possession of a so-called "golden ticket" visa in the form of a special A-1 'Head of State' document. This is a rare type of diplomatic visa given to members of foreign royal families.
