Harry admitted to using cocaine, weed, and mushrooms, in his memoirs and interviews. In a chat with trauma expert Gabor Maté, Putera said hallucinogenic drugs are “fundamental” in his life. He moved to America with his family in 2020 and has no plans to “seek permanent US residence” anytime soon.

Former Federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani was one of several lawyers who recently spoke with him Page Six about the possibility of Prince Harry’s drug use affecting his visa to stay in America. He said, “Admission of drug use is usually a reason for not being accepted.”
Rahmani continued, “This means that Prince Harry’s visa should be denied or revoked because he admitted to using cocaine, mushrooms and other drugs.” He insisted that “there are no exceptions for royal or recreational use.”
Attorney James Leonard, who famously represented reality star Joe Giudice in his immigration case, disagreed with Rahmani’s statement that Harry’s visa faced any real risk. He explained that the Royal has no “drug or alcohol-related criminal charges” and is clearly not a “regular drug user.”

In Harry’s recently released memoir, replace, he admitted that he drank heavily and used weed and cocaine several times in the past. During an online interview with trauma expert Gabor Maté, Harry said hallucinogenic drugs were a “fundamental” part of his adult life.
He stated, “It’s a windshield cleaning, a removal of the filters of life — these layers of filters — it removes everything for me and brings me a sense of relaxation, relief, comfort, a sense of lightness that I’ve managed to hold on to. a period of time.”
The Duke of Sussex explained that he only ever used cocaine as a teenager and said it was a social thing that was “not fun.” However, regarding weed, Harry said he “started doing it recreationally and then started realizing how good it was for me,” so it’s still in his life.

Attorney Leonard explained to Page Six that usually, all drug users have to raise certain red flags to get immigration officials to investigate their status. He said, “You have to give them something that will trigger it, and revealing it in a book, that you experimented with drugs when you were young, I don’t think gets you there.”
Sam Adair, another immigration lawyer and expert with decades of experience, also agreed that it was unlikely that Harry’s drug entry would “cause a problem.” He said, “If there is a conviction, it may be an important issue in obtaining a visa.”
Adair also added that normally, drug use could still be an issue in many cases, but “in this situation, it’s unlikely that this would be an issue.” Despite the contrary opinion, Rahmani stressed that there is no “specific requirement that the person is actually convicted of a drug offense.”

Prince Harry moved to America with his wife, Duchess Meghan Markle, and their son, Prince Archie, in 2020. The move came after the couple stepped down from their roles as senior officials in the British Royal Family.
Harry and Meghan currently live in an £11 million mansion in Santa Barbara with their son and daughter, Princess Lilibet. In 2021, sources claim The Times that Harry does not plan to seek US citizenship, permanent residency, or a “green card anytime soon.”
If there were any problems with Harry’s visa, other immigration lawyers were notified Page Six that Markle, a US citizen by birth, could sponsor her husband. One method could be through the O-1 visa, which is already used by non-American celebrities such as Justin Bieber and Rachel McAdams.
