Prince Harry faces Lawsuit for mentioning of drugs in his memoir

Prince Harry In his memoir Spare, revealed that he had been using marijuana, cocaine, and psychedelic mushrooms.

The Heritage Foundation filed a lawsuit against the US government, alleging that proper procedures were not followed when granting a US visa to the Duke of Sussex. The lawsuit aims to uncover whether the US government followed the appropriate protocols in the visa application process. US immigration law allows past drug use to serve as a basis for rejecting a visa application.

Additionally, Prince Harry shared in his memoir that he engaged in the use of psychedelic mushrooms during a visit to California in 2016. It is important to note that the state considers the consumption of this drug illegal, and it can serve as grounds for rejecting both non-immigrant and immigrant visa applications.
