Prince Harry’s hopes of building a new life in the U.S. may be at risk as his ongoing visa saga drags on, according to a new report. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who moved to the U.S. in 2020 after stepping down from their royal duties, are reportedly fed up with the persistent controversy surrounding Harry’s past drug use.
The controversy erupted following the release of Harry’s 2023 memoir, Spare, in which he openly discussed his history with drugs. His admission prompted the conservative think tank, the Heritage Foundation, to launch a major Freedom of Information request in an effort to determine whether Harry lied on his visa application when moving to the United States.
A source close to the Sussexes spoke to Closer Magazine and revealed that Harry and Meghan are “sick to death” of the ongoing saga. “They can’t believe it’s still dragging on, and it’s excruciatingly annoying for them how it always seems to resurface at the worst possible times,” the insider said.
The source went on to explain that the couple had carefully cultivated a “squeaky clean, wholesome, and responsible image” and are focused on appealing to families and ethically-minded professionals. The ongoing campaign by the Heritage Foundation, which they view as unnecessary and ridiculous, has pushed them to their breaking point.
“The ‘drug scandal’ keeps being dragged out in public, with Harry being raked over the coals and labeled a liar,” the source added.
The Heritage Foundation is determined to uncover the truth behind Harry’s immigration forms and whether he provided false information when applying for his visa.
In a recent development, some documents related to Harry’s visa application were made public following a judge’s order, but they were heavily redacted. Despite this, the Heritage Foundation has announced plans to launch a second lawsuit in an attempt to force further disclosure and find out whether Harry misrepresented himself.
As the battle over Harry’s visa status continues, sources close to the Sussexes claim that the couple is at their limit. They are reportedly struggling to endure the relentless scrutiny and public attacks, which seem to surface time and time again. The ongoing controversy has created a significant strain on their lives in the U.S., making their dream of a fresh start more uncertain than ever.
