After bidding adieu to their royal life and the shores of Britain in 2020, Harry and Meghan plunged into American life by acquiring a lavish 16-bedroom estate in Montecito, California. Here, amidst sprawling gardens, they’ve been nurturing their young blossoms, Archie and Lilibet.
Prince Harry and Markle have found peace and freedom in their Californian retreat, as Meghan shared with The Cut. “We did everything we could to get this house,” she revealed. “Because you walk in and go… Joy. And exhale. And calm. It’s healing. You feel free.”
Yet, recent whispers hint that Prince Harry’s American dream might be on shaky ground.
The buzz is all about Harry’s visa status, now under the microscope thanks to a lawsuit by the conservative think tank, the Heritage Foundation. They’re pushing for transparency on his visa application, sparking a legal tussle with the Department of Homeland Security, which has so far shielded the details citing privacy reasons.
As the case quietly unfolds in Judge Carl Nichols’ chambers, the suspense looms large over the Duke of Sussex’s future in the U.S.
Adding fuel to the fire, Harry’s 2023 memoir “Spare” reveals past drug use, which poses potential hiccups for his immigration status. “It wasn’t much fun, and it didn’t make me particularly happy, as it seemed to make everyone around me. But it did make me feel different, and that was the main goal,” he wrote about his experiences.
This revelation has led the Heritage Foundation to speculate whether Harry might have glossed over these details on his visa application, potentially qualifying as a serious offense.
Former U.S. president Donald Trump has weighed in, hinting at no special treatment for Harry if the allegations hold water. “We’ll have to see if they know something about the drugs. If he lied they’ll have to take appropriate action,” he stated.
Amidst this tangled web of potential deceit and legal challenges, royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams describes the ordeal as “embarrassing” for the Duke and Duchess. “Harry may have included drug use on his application form. If he hasn’t, it will unquestionably make headlines,” Fitzwilliams predicts.
The stakes are high and the world watches as this royal saga unfolds. Will the Sussexes manage to hold on to their tranquil haven or will a technicality see them packing? Stay tuned!
