Royal expert Angela Levin has criticized Meghan Markle for not warning her husband, Prince Harry, about the possible consequences of his candid drug revelations. According to Levin, the Duchess of Sussex should have advised Prince Harry against discussing his past drug use so openly, as it could jeopardize his rights to live in the United States.
Page Six exclusively revealed that Prince Harry might face challenges in maintaining his US residency rights due to his admissions about previous drug use. Levin, a royal biographer, believes that Markle should have alerted her husband to the potential repercussions of such admissions.
During an interview with Dan Wootton on GB News, Levin said, "I don't understand why his wife didn't warn him." She added that Markle is in charge of their relationship and should have cautioned him, saying, "She didn't say 'be careful, because if you talk too much about the drugs, you might be in trouble.'"
Levin also expressed her concern about why Markle "left him alone on this." She suggested that the mental health expert who interviewed Prince Harry should have advised him against discussing his drug use.
In his memoir, "Spare," the Duke of Sussex revealed that he "drank heavily," used cocaine, and smoked marijuana earlier in his life. He also admitted to experimenting with psychedelics well into his adulthood, considering hallucinogenic drugs a "fundamental" part of his life.
During an online chat with trauma expert Gabor Maté, Prince Harry said, "It was the cleaning of the windscreen, the removal of life's filters - these layers of filters - it removed it all for me and brought me a sense of relaxation, relief, comfort, a lightness that I managed to hold back for a period of time." He also mentioned that he "started doing it recreationally and then started to realize how good it was for me."
Although Prince Harry has not disclosed whether he has faced severe drug issues, he was sent to a rehab center at age 17 by his father, King Charles, after admitting to smoking marijuana.
While it remains unclear whether the prince's candid admission could lead to legal complications, experts have expressed varying opinions on whether his visa may come under scrutiny. A top immigration attorney previously told Page Six that if Prince Harry faces any legal issues, the Duchess of Sussex could choose to sponsor her husband.
