Thanks to an arrogant presidential appointee?
A U.S. ambassador's recent decision to advocate for Prince Harry has intensified the debate over his immigration status.
Although the left-wing royal is safe under President Joe Biden, he may regret having his ghostwriter describe his illegal drug use in painstaking detail to drive sells of his memoir, “Spare.”
According to experts on the monarchy who spoke to the Daily Beast on the condition of anonymity, there is a real possibility that Harry could be expelled for violating immigration laws under a Trump administration.
This is especially true since Jane Hartley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom, pledged that the Biden administration would not deport the rambunctious royal.
The ambassador's statements coincide with the Heritage Foundation's legal challenge against the Department of Homeland Security for allegedly shielding Harry from deportation. (RELATED: ‘Worm and Weasel' – King Charles Bans Harry and Andrew From Wearing Military Uniforms at Queen's Funeral)
The conservative think tank has filed a Freedom of Information Act request in the hopes of obtaining Harry's visa documents and learning if he disclosed his past drug use when he applied to live in the United States.
Harry's shocking memoir and Hartley's speaking out may derail the woke icon's American dream:
The remarks bring a fresh political dimension to the row over Harry's claims to have used marijuana, cocaine, magic mushrooms and ayahuasca in his memoir, Spare, and in interviews to promote the book. Admission of former or ongoing drug use is usually a bar to smoothly immigrating to the U.S. Donald Trump has strongly hinted that Harry could be deported if he wins the presidency.
Royal writer and YouTuber Lady Colin Campbell, the author of a new book about Harry and Meghan entitled Meghan and Harry, The Real Story: Persecutors or Victims told the Daily Beast: “Harry was criticized for being both stupid and arrogant by publicizing his use of illegal drugs in his memoir. But what this intervention by the American ambassador shows us is that the Biden administration were prepared to allow the king's son into the country regardless of what rules he may or may not have broken. So, maybe he knew he would get away with it.
“The issue that perhaps Harry hadn't thought about so clearly is what would happen if there were to be a change of government. If Trump wins, Harry may well come to regret these very foolish remarks, made no doubt at the urging of his publisher to sell a few more books. The reality is that no foreigner has an inviolable right to enter another country and you can be made a ‘persona non grata' at the drop of a hat.”
Indeed, an immigration lawyer recently told The Daily Beast that Harry could be vulnerable to a politically motivated attack on his residential status, saying: “Department of State decisions are discretionary and very susceptible to political influence. His visa could be canceled. He could be denied entry upon return to the U.S. from foreign travel for inadmissibility due to prior drug usage, despite an unexpired visa in his passport. There are many scenarios where political influence could impact Harry's ability to re-enter the U.S.”
Duncan Larcombe, a former royal editor at a well-known British tabloid, opined that Harry had voluntarily exposed himself to scrutiny concerning possible ongoing and frequent use of illegal drugs.
Indeed, while promoting his memoir, Harry implied that he had recently used the psychedelic ayahuasca.
“It was the cleaning of the windshield, removal of life's filters. It removed it all for me and brought me a sense of relaxation, release, comfort, a lightness that I managed to hold onto for a period of time,” Harry said of the hallucinogenic. “For me I started doing it recreationally and then started to realize how good it was for me. I would say it is one of the fundamental parts of my life that changed me and helped me deal with the traumas and the pains of the past.”
“It's incredibly stupid to take Class A drugs when you are a prince in the royal family,” Larcombe remarked to the Beast. “It's even more stupid to boast about it afterwards. He has opened himself up to a myriad of questions, for example: Does he still do them? Was he high on drugs at Sandhurst? How about when he wore a Nazi uniform to a party?”
“The Biden administration may well be prepared to look the other way, but Trump clearly isn't,” Larcombe added.
It is also possible that Meghan Markle's dislike of Donald Trump has contributed to Trump's social media posts, suggesting that Harry would not have a free ride if he is reelected president.
Perhaps finally aware of the mess he put himself in, Harry and Megan are reportedly planning an “escape route” from the United States if necessary.
