Prince Harry has been warned there is “no exception for royalty” when it comes to his visa potentially being revoked. The Duke of Sussex, 38, has face scrutiny since openly admitting to taking cocaine, cannabis and magic mushrooms in the past. Former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani claims the royal should not even have been allowed into the US in the first place if he filled in his visa documentation correctly.
The DC-based think tank claims US taxpayers have a right to know whether the Duke misled authorities on his drug use when he first entered the country after stepping down from his formal role in 2020.
Under current immigration rules, people who are found to have lied to border officials can face a hefty fine or even deportation.
However, another lawyer told Page Six that Harry’s admission would likely not be a problem for the royal.
Texas-based immigration lawyer Sam Aldair insisted it was “unlikely that these admissions will present a problem because there have been no criminal convictions.”
And colleague James Leonard noted that revealing in a book that “you experimented with drugs when you were a young man” would not give authorities much of a base to challenge Harry’s presence in the country.
