Royal Revelations: Prince Harry's 'Golden Ticket' Visa Uncovered
EXCLUSIVE: Prince Harry's Visa Drama: The Shocking Truth Revealed!
The saga surrounding Prince Harry's US visa has been a juicy mystery for nearly two years, leaving royal watchers and insiders alike scratching their heads in confusion. But now, thanks to a stunning new development, the truth is finally starting to unravel.
In March, a court ruling seemed to put an end to the speculation, declaring that Prince Harry's immigration status was a private matter. However, the release of relevant documents only added to the intrigue, with many pages blacked out and redacted, leaving everyone none the wiser.
But just when we thought it was over, new files have emerged from the depths of President Donald Trump's administration, sending shockwaves through the royal family and beyond. According to sources close to the matter, these documents may hold the key to unraveling the mystery surrounding Prince Harry's visa status.
The controversy began in 2023 with the publication of Prince Harry's explosive memoir "Spare", which revealed his candid admissions about experimenting with cannabis, cocaine, and psychedelic mushrooms. As we all know, taking drugs can be grounds for the US government to reject a visa application. But could it be that Prince Harry has been granted special treatment by the Biden administration?
The Heritage Foundation, a Washington-based think tank, had submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) seeking out Prince Harry's immigration records. They argued there was a public interest in releasing them to see if the Duke had been given preferential treatment by the government.
When their FOIA request was rejected, the think tank took the DHS to court in a civil case. However, Judge Carl Nichols' March ruling saw that attempt smothered under black ink once again. But it seems that another wing of the US government – the Department of State headed by Marco Rubio – is now coming under scrutiny.
According to court documents filed by Jeanine Pirro, President Donald Trump's U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, the Department of State has identified over 1,000 potentially relevant pages related to Prince Harry's visa application. These files include submissions from the UK Foreign Office certifying that he is in line to the throne and discussions between consular officers about issuing his visa.
So what does it all mean? Could Prince Harry be holding a rare "golden ticket" – an A-1 diplomatic visa, granted at the discretion of the Department of State, which would allow him to come and go from the US at will, work in the country while remaining a foreign citizen, and even enjoy lower security checks than ordinary non-immigrant visa holders?
Immigration expert Melissa Chavin told The Scholarly Note that it's possible Prince Harry has had an A-1 visa his whole life. "Take his age and divide by five to figure out how many applications he has filed (or were filed on his behalf when he was underage)," she explained. "So about 8 applications. Each visa will have a duration of five years, good for multiple entries to the United States."
But what's even more intriguing is that experts believe the Royal Family would prefer Prince Harry to be on a diplomatic visa because it would mean he doesn't have to reveal aspects of the family's finances to the US Government. If he were to obtain a green card or become a US citizen, he'd be required to report his entire worldwide income to America's Internal Revenue Service.
Sources close to the matter have revealed that Prince Harry's representatives have never commented on his immigration status, but one thing is clear: this saga has been far from over. The question on everyone's lips remains – what visa does Prince Harry actually hold? Is it an A-1 "golden ticket" or something else entirely?
While lawyers for the Heritage Foundation have suggested it would be absurd for Prince Harry to be on a diplomatic visa, others speculate that he could be holding an O-1 visa, which is for people of extraordinary ability. This temporary non-immigrant visa allows holders to work and lasts for three years, but can be extended.
Meanwhile, President Trump has ruled out deporting Prince Harry, having previously hinted that he might consider it. "I don't want to do that," the president said in February. "I'll leave him alone. He's got enough problems with his wife. She's terrible."
So, what's next for Prince Harry? Will we finally get a clear answer about his visa status, or will this saga continue to unfold like a juicy game of royal charades? One thing is certain – The Scholarly Note will be keeping a close eye on developments as they emerge.
