Prince Harry is set to learn his fate as a US resident as his visa records will come under scrutiny in the duke’s first court hearing under President Trump.
The Duke of Sussex scored a major legal victory in September after a judge ruled that his US visa will stay private after the Heritage Foundation tried to get his application released to prove whether or not he mentioned his past drug use.
Now, a federal judge has ordered Harry and the think tank to appear in court on Feb. 5 in Washington, DC. Judge Carl J Nichols set the hearing for 2 p.m., the Daily Mail reported.
It will mark the first court appearance since Trump’s return to the White House after the former working royal’s visa status was thrust into doubt following the release of his tell-all memoir, “Spare,” in 2023.
In a lawsuit last year, the conservative think tank sued the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for access to Harry’s visa documents to determine whether he made false statements about prior drug use.
