Did Prince Harry lie on his immigration files?

Once again, the spotlight is back on the monarch of Montecito. A US judge has now ruled that Prince Harry’s visa documents must be made public by Tuesday – in a bid to find out whether the Duke of Sussex lied on his immigration files about drug use. In the end, truth will out…

The release of the documents will help shed light on whether the Prince misled authorities over historic drug use. It is thought that the visa paperwork may include forms that would show whether the California-based monarch ticked ‘no’ when asked if he used illegal drugs – after both his own memoir, Spare, and his Netflix series, Harry & Meghan, revealed the renegade royal had dabbled with cannabis, cocaine and psychedelic mushrooms. It’s hardly the most noble of habits, eh?

Even President Donald Trump has waded into the matter. As Mr S wrote in January, after his inauguration the new president vowed to take ‘appropriate action’ if it emerged that the Duke of Sussex had lied on his visa forms.
