PRINCE HARRY’S DEPORTATIO­N DRUG DAZE

Doper’s U.S. visa under cloud over tell-all confession­s

-

ROYAL blabbermou­th Prince Harry’s scheme to rake in big bucks while settling the score with his family in a tell-all memoir has backfired as critics claim his shocking drug confession­s could be grounds for deportatio­n — and a return ticket to Britain!

A scandal over the Duke of Sussex’s secret visa applicatio­n exploded after a government agency refused to release documents that would reveal if the pouty prince disclosed his drug use while attempting to gain entry to America, which legal experts say is required by law.

George Washington University immigratio­n expert Alberto Benitez insists King Charles’ youngest son “should have been denied U.S. residency” over his drug use!

The rogue royal, who has an American-born wife, “would have been asked” about prior drug use in his applicatio­n and, if he lied, his visa could now be revoked, says Benitez.

In his recently released memoir, Spare, the prince “chose to boast about taking cocaine and other substances to sell his book, and make headlines in his online interview with a mental health guru,” a highlevel British courtier tells GLOBE.

“His loose lips could come back to bite him big-time. His fairytale Hollywood life could be over if he concealed his drug use on his visa applicatio­n. You can bet Harry is fighting tooth and nail to keep it secret.”

Leading the battle to see the documents is a conservati­ve Washington, D.C.–based think tank, The Heritage Foundation.

The organizati­on compiled a dossier of evidence including Harry’s public admissions about taking cocaine, cannabis and magic mushrooms to bolster their Freedom of Informatio­n Act request, which was denied but is now under appeal.

The group is also demanding all texts, emails and correspond­ence involved to show how the applicatio­n was handled by the federal government.

Heritage Oversight Project director Mike Howell says his organizati­on wants to know if Harry was “properly vetted” or given illegal

preferenti­al treatment.

In his bombshell memoir, Harry reveals he was 17 when he first took cocaine on a shooting weekend and did “a few more lines” at other times. He also took ketamine, admitting he was tripping pretty hard during a party at actress Courteney Cox’s home when a garbage can appeared to look like someone’s head.

“I stepped on the pedal and the head opened its mouth. A huge open grin. I laughed,” he wrote.

Harry also confessed to smoking weed regularly in high school, after his first date in 2016 with nowwife Meghan and when he was living at Tyler Perry’s L.A. home while house-hunting during the pandemic lockdown.

“Late at night with everybody asleep,

I’d walk the house, checking the doors and windows. Then I’d sit on the balcony or the edge of the garden and roll a joint,” he wrote.

Harry spoke publicly about his drug use in a pay-to-view online session with therapist Dr. Gabor Maté, saying cocaine was a social thing, but marijuana “really helped me.”

The psychedeli­c drug ayahuasca “changed me and helped me deal with the trauma and pains of the past,” he reveals. “It’s one of the fundamenta­ls of my life.”

But with his moneymakin­g drug confession­s, Harry may have doomed his visa and he could be barred from the U.S., say experts.

“Harry’s just been evicted from his English home Frogmore Cottage by his father. Now he could be deported from America. Where does he go next? Canada? Africa?” says the palace courtier. “The bad blood in the Windsor family would keep him from returning to Britain on a permanent basis.

“And the big question is: Will Meghan go with him? She seems to have made it clear her future lies in the U.S. with their tots, Archie and Lilibet. Meghan wants to be queen of Hollywood and has political ambitions in Washington, D.C., too.

“So the key for Harry seems to be he needs to keep his U.S. visa at all costs — his marriage likely depends on it! Airing his dirty laundry earned him millions. He may need them to hire the best immigratio­n lawyer he can find.”
