Prince Harry has officially registered himself as an American resident for the first time, marking a significant step in his transition to life in the United States.
According to reports from the Sun, the Duke of Sussex listed “New Country/State Usually Resident” as America on Companies House filings back in June. This move signifies a shift from his previous listing of the UK as his primary home.
Harry, alongside his wife Meghan and their children Archie and Lilibet, currently resides in a lavish £14 million mansion in Montecito, California. The couple’s relocation to the United States has sparked speculation about Harry’s intentions regarding US citizenship.
The Prince’s US visa application is currently undergoing review by a judge, particularly in light of revelations made in his controversial memoir, Spare. In the book, Harry candidly admitted to past drug use, including marijuana, cocaine, and psychedelic mushrooms.
Amidst this scrutiny, the Heritage Foundation initiated legal action to probe whether Harry misrepresented his drug history on his visa application. The conservative think tank contends that the visa application should be made public to determine if Harry received preferential treatment.
However, the Biden administration has opposed the release of the documents, citing privacy rights for visa applicants. The ongoing legal battle has drawn attention to the potential consequences of drug use on Harry’s immigration status, with US visa applications often subject to denial on such grounds.
Despite the legal proceedings, a US ambassador recently assured that Harry would not face deportation from the US, regardless of the trial’s outcome.
As the case unfolds, the public awaits further developments regarding Prince Harry’s residency status and the implications of his US visa application.
