Prince Harry has been dealt a major blow in his ongoing US visa controversy, as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has confirmed that crucial documents related to his immigration status could soon be unsealed.
While Meghan Markle has been busy promoting her new lifestyle brand As Ever, the Duke of Sussex now faces a legal storm that could threaten his ability to remain in the United States.
According to Daily Mail, DHS lawyers have revealed that three key documents—potentially proving whether Harry misrepresented his drug use on his visa application—can be released to the public with redactions. However, a fourth document will remain sealed, as its disclosure could violate privacy laws.
This latest update comes after a recent court ruling by Judge Carl Nichols in Washington, D.C., who emphasized the importance of “maximum disclosure” without infringing on personal privacy.
The controversy stems from Harry’s shocking confessions in his 2023 memoir Spare, in which he openly admitted to past drug use, including cocaine, marijuana, and psychedelic mushrooms.
These admissions have raised questions about whether he truthfully disclosed this history when applying for his US visa.
Under American immigration law, admitting to drug use can be grounds for visa denial or even revocation, which has fueled speculation about whether Harry received special treatment.
The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, has been leading the charge for transparency, demanding that his immigration records be made public.

As this legal battle unfolds, Harry has found some support from Meghan Markle, who recently shared a rare, unseen photo of the couple as part of a tribute to her husband.
The heartfelt gesture was seen as an attempt to shift focus away from the controversy and onto their personal bond.
Despite the looming uncertainty over his immigration status, Harry has continued to focus on his charity work, most recently attending events for his Invictus Games foundation.
However, with legal proceedings heating up, the Duke of Sussex may soon be forced to confront the possibility of serious repercussions.
The couple moved to the United States in 2020 after stepping back from their royal roles, and they have since built their lives in California with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. If the visa scandal escalates, Harry could face potential legal challenges regarding his residency in the US.
For now, the world awaits the release of the partially unsealed documents—which could either clear Harry’s name or spark a new wave of controversy. One thing is certain: this battle is far from over.
