reports that in the tell-all, released in January, Harry revealed that he drank heavily, used cocaine, and smoked pot throughout his life. While Harry said he only used cocaine as a teen, he also told trauma expert Gabor Maté recently in an online chat to promotethat he experimented with psychedelics well into adulthood, and that he considers hallucinogenic drugs to be a “fundamental” part of his life.
Former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani says that, per Harry’s U.S. visa status that allows him to live in the country, “an admission of drug use is usually grounds for inadmissibility. That means Prince Harry’s visa should have been denied or revoked because he admitted to using cocaine, mushrooms, and other drugs.” Rahmani adds that there is “no exception for royalty or recreational use.
“Absent any criminal charge related to drugs or alcohol or any finding by a judicial authority that Prince Harry is a habitual drug user, which he clearly is not, I don’t see any issue with the disclosures in his memoir regarding recreational experimentation with drugs,” he says. “You’ve got to give them something that would trigger it and revealing it in a book—that you experimented with drugs when you were a young man—I don’t think gets you there,” he says. “Immigration is not going to do anything based on that. If he got arrested or he got a DWI, then we’re having a different conversation.”
