Prince Harry has been fighting to stop the release of the papers
The case was brought by a think tank after Harry claimed in his memoir Spare he took coke, weed and magic mushrooms.

The Heritage Foundation argued that releasing the documents will prove if Harry lied about his past drug use on his visa application.

They say that if the Duke did lie, he could be in breach of US federal law and should lose his immigration status.

And now President Joe Biden’s lawyers have confirmed they’ve complied with a court order to move it onto the next step.

The court filing reads: “Defendant the U.S. Department of Homeland Security respectfully informs the court that it has complied with the court’s March 7, 2024, order by submitting declarations with attachments for ex parte in camera [in private] review.”

It comes after lawyers for the US government argued Harry’s drug claims in the explosive book “is not proof” he actually took them.

And the Department for Homeland Security, which oversees immigration, said making Harry’s documents public would breach his privacy.

But Judge Carl Nichols asked officials to hand over the documents saying their privacy argument was “insufficiently detailed”.

The Heritage Foundation’s lawyer Samuel Dewey earlier accused the US government of “providing special treatment to celebrities” to enter the US.

Lawyers for the Biden administration rejected the allegation of special treatment.

Last month Donald Trump waded into the controversy suggesting he might kick Harry out of the US if he wins a second term.

The former President said he “wouldn’t protect” Harry because he had “betrayed the Queen”.

Harry ‘could be planning surprise olive branch to William but won’t do anything without Meghan’s approval’, expert says
Trump said if he wins the election in November then Harry “would be on his own”.

It comes as experts have claimed Harry could potentially make peace with William but will not do anything without Meghan’s approval.

Harry and William haven’t been seen together in years after their relationship fractured further.

But there could be a way forward for the feuding brothers to “resolve the rift” and reconnect, according to Richard Fitzwilliams.

However, the royal biographer believes that any “olive branch” would have to be given the seal of approval by Meghan Markle.
