New twist expected in Prince Harry's US court battle: report

Two months after the US government released documents related to a court battle over Prince Harry's 2020 visa application, it has been suggested that new developments are expected in the case.

Speaking exclusively to GB News, Nile Gardiner, the director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at The Heritage Foundation-—a key player in the case against the Duke's visa— said "The fight continues to release Prince Harry's immigration records to the American people."

He said,  "The legal case continues on that front. There will be further developments I think in the next few weeks. I also think the Trump administration might make a decision ultimately to release the records."

Explaining the motivation behind the case, Gardiner said,  "There's a clear public interest to see whether Harry lied in his US visa application and the Trump administration is committed to the full enforcement of US law."

It's pertinent to mention here that while releasing documents related to Harry's legal battle, the government had redacted large portions, saying it had a duty to protect his privacy and there was no evidence he received special treatment.

The Heritage Foundation had filed a Freedom of Information Act request, arguing the public had a right to know if the British royal disclosed the prior drug use that he detailed in his memoir, "Spare," on his application.

More than 80 pages of court filings and transcripts were released on with large sections covered in black.

Immigration officials said the Heritage Foundation had not established that the public interest outweighed the right to privacy for Harry.
