Another blow for Harry as US visa judge makes fresh move to release ‘maximum amount’ of docs about Prince’s drug use
An expert told The Sun the Sussexes could take revenge on Trump
A JUDGE has ordered the US government to look into which documents related to Prince Harry’s visa can be released to the public.
A lawsuit brought by the Heritage Foundation against the US Department of Homeland Security is seeking to disclose Harry’s immigration papers to reveal whether he lied about past drug-taking.

Judge Carl J. Nichols ruled last year that the records should remain private.
But after a fresh challenge, he agreed earlier this month to release the “maximum amount possible” about how Harry, 40, got into the US.
In an order published last night, Judge Nichols formally told the government to state by next Thursday (February 20) which legal documents related to the case can be disclosed.
He said that after that “the Court will determine what portions of those materials can be produced to Heritage”.

"He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.”
Publication of the documents could lead to embarrassing revelations for Harry.

He openly admitted in his memoir Spare and on his Netflix series to taking cannabis, coke and magic mushrooms before moving to California in 2020.
The Heritage Foundation claims it is likely he either lied on his forms, or received special treatment by then-US president Joe Biden's administration.
Meghan Markle's Invictus speech was 'like the Oscars', expert says
It comes after royal expert Ingrid Seward told The Sun could seek revenge on Trump for his comments.
She described the US President's remarks about the duchess as "incredibly hurtful", despite admitting many would agree with him.
Ms Seward admitted: "I think that a huge number of people were probably smirking and agreeing with Donald Trump."
She explained that the Sussexes "operate" from California, which is "very Democratic", meaning Republican Trump's remarks will have had an extra sting.
"It was an incredibly hurtful thing to say, terrible," she continued.
"I know what he meant and we possibly all agree with him, but to say it publicly like that is very hurtful.
"I wonder if Meghan and Harry might have some come back for that, legally."

Ms Seward added: "Hopefully, they don’t bother and take it on the chin or make it a joke.
"But it was hurtful, but for those of us who aren't so crazy about Meghan, it was funny. But it was a bit sad, I think."
