Last night’s ruling that the details of Prince Harry’s US visa application should remain private has been labelled “suspicious” by an American think tank.

Conservative group The Heritage Foundation had taken legal action against the US government to try and force Harry’s documents into the public eye.


But in ruling seen in court documents on Monday, US judge Carl Nichols said: “The public does not have a strong interest in disclosure of the duke’s immigration records.”

But now, Mike Howell, the executive director of the think tank’s Oversight Project, told US outlet Newsweek: “The Prince Harry scandal just got a lot more suspicious.

“While our case is far from over as we explore appeal, I’d say that these very curious redactions point to something serious afoot.

“President Trump has already suggested that Prince Harry will be deported next year – and the case for that just got a lot more compelling!”
