Next week, if Donald Trump were to win the presidential election, his son has offered a significant indication of how his father would handle the controversy surrounding Prince Harry's visa to enter the United States.
Because the United States government had made specific submissions in secret, the dispute around Prince Harry's visa for the United States of America erupted once more just a week ago. This was because it was asserted that the court's struggle regarding making his application public needed to be restarted, as per BBC.
Following the publication of his controversial memoir, "Spare," in which he admitted to using marijuana, cocaine, and hallucinogenic mushrooms, the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, filed a lawsuit arguing that the government needed to divulge data concerning the Duke's visa application for the United States to demonstrate whether or not his drug taking was disclosed.
Even though a judge ultimately decided that it should be kept private, Trump, who is running for reelection to the White House, had earlier hinted that the Duke of Sussex should be deported due to the lingering allegation that he may have taken drugs, The Mirror reported. Despite this, Trump's son Eric recently gave an interview stating that Harry's visa would be secure because "no one cares" about him and that his bride, Meghan, is "pretty unpopular."
"Truthfully I don't give a damn about Prince Harry and I don't think this country does either. My father loved the Queen and I think the monarchy is an incredibly beautiful thing. I don't give a damn if he did drugs. It means nothing. I can tell you that our father and our entire family has tremendous respect for the monarchy," Eric told MailOnline.
A week before his comments, the Heritage Foundation submitted yet another court filing stating that it had been denied access to private submissions made to the judge by the administration of Joe Biden. Even though the request, which is thirteen pages long and was submitted on Tuesday, states that the case was "unique" and complex, it also states that there is "ample evidence of agency bad faith," which means that this "severely compromises [Heritage's] ability to prepare arguments on appeal."
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) initially denied a Freedom of Information request for Duke's records, which led to the Heritage Foundation initiating the case.
In his bombshell memoir, Prince Harry confessed that cocaine "didn't do anything for me," adding: "Marijuana is different, that actually really did help me." He also recounts an experience with magic mushrooms, saying: "I stared at the bin. It stared back. 'What-staring? ' Then it became... a head. I stepped on the pedal and the head opened its mouth. A huge open grin."
Speaking about his use of hallucinogens during an online chat with trauma expert Gabor Maté, Prince Harry explained: "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."
When applying for a visa to enter the United States, applicants are expressly asked about their present and previous drug usage, which can negatively impact the application process. Applications may be denied due to the use of drugs in large quantities; nonetheless, immigration authorities exercise their discretion in light of a variety of considerations.
