Prince Harry’s US visa row is ongoing, despite Donald Trump reassuring him last week that he wouldn’t look to deport him.

In a fresh blow to the Duke, a judge has ordered the US government to look into which documents related to Prince Harry’s visa can be released to the public.

It’s in response to a lawsuit brought by the Heritage Foundation against the US Department of Homeland Security which is seeking to disclose Harry’s immigration papers to reveal whether he lied about past drug-taking.

Application forms for US visas specifically ask about current and past drug use and can lead to a person’s application being rejected, though it is at the discretion of immigration officers. Harry admitted to taking drugs in his bombshell memoir Spare.

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 the Duke got into the US.
