The Duke of Sussex's visa records have become the focal point of legal contention, with the Heritage Foundation initiating legal action against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to obtain access to Harry's documents.
The organization seeks to scrutinize whether Harry disclosed his prior use of illegal drugs before obtaining a US visa.
In an interview with GB News, royal author Gareth Russell said the situation could be embarrassing for Prince Harry if it resurfaces questions about the privileges leveraged for his entry into the United States.
He said: “It's hard to predict what will happen.

“I would say, if you're being logical and not too dramatic about it either way, it's going to be embarrassing and put his name in the headlines for reasons which I think he'd probably prefer to avoid.
“It's going to raise questions again about what privileges were used to get him into the Great Republic as America has historically been known?
“I don't think it will do him any favours. I don't think it will be catastrophic for him.
“But I think it will be another embarrassing round of headlines which the Sussexes are insisting they want to move beyond.”
Lawyers representing the Biden administration have said just because it was mentioned in the memoir, it doesn’t mean it’s true.
Russell continued: “If lawyers arguing for his visa are relying on the strategy that Prince Harry ‘exaggerated’ his claims of drug use in order to sell more books, then that opens up a legitimate question.
“What else in ‘Spare’ was exaggerated?
“These are lawyers arguing for his visa, implying that there are parts of the book which may have been sensationalised.”
