Telling the truth can sometimes be an opening to many things, such as publicity, money and public relations.
But sometimes the truth can come back and bite you in the back, which is what might happen to
Prince Harry
, who according to an immigration expert, his visa to the US is in jeopardy after he admitted that he used drugs in the past.
The young prince released his scandalous book this year, in which he told his story and revealed (perhaps a little too much) details from his growing up in the royal palace and the relations with his family members, which have always been unstable, but reached their peak with his marriage to the American actress
Meghan Markle
. Apart from discrediting his family, the prince also talked about experiences from his life, including his various experiences with alcohol and drugs. At the beginning of this month he was interviewed at an event to promote his book, and revealed more personal details about his experience with different drugs as part of dealing with the traumas he experienced.
Now it turns out that the increased exposure may cost the Duke of Sussex his immigration visa to the USA, where he moved with his family at the beginning of 2020 after they left the royal family. In an interview with the PageSix website, lawyer Naama Rahmani, who specializes in these matters, explained: "Notice of drug use is usually
a
reason for ineligibility to receive a visa.
This means that Prince Harry's visa should have been denied or revoked because he admitted to using cocaine, mushrooms and other drugs," according to the lawyer. However,
another immigration lawyer named
James Leonard
, claimed in the same article that he disagreed with Rahmani and explained: "In the absence of any criminal charges related to drugs or alcohol or any finding that Prince Harry is currently using drugs, I see no problem with his admission in his book about drug use. This does not mean that drug use is not could pose a problem in the immigration process, but under these circumstances, it is unlikely that it would pose such a problem."
In other words, the prince just needs to make sure he doesn't get involved in a criminal offense that could jeopardize his residency visa, which could also be very embarrassing for the royal family, as if he didn't cause enough trouble for them.
