Prince Harry finally cuts ties with UK as exiled royal lists US as his primary residence despite ‘drug use’ controversy
It comes as Prince Harry is fighting to stop the release of his immigration papers
AMERICA-loving Prince Harry has finally cut ties with Britain – after listing his California mansion as his primary residence.
The Duke put “New Country/State Usually Resident” as America on Companies House filings in June last year.

He previously listed the UK as his primary home.
The change signals a clear break with Britain, after he and wife Meghan Markle quit the Royal Family in 2020.
Harry, 39, and Meghan, 42, live in a $14 million mansion in Montecito with kids Archie, four, and Lilibet, two.
The 18,000-square-foot pile boasts nine bedrooms and 16 bathrooms as well as a sauna, gym, games room and arcade.
A library, office — which Meghan says she shares with Harry — wine cellar and a five-car garage also feature.
Sprawling gardens showcase a large pool, tennis court, chicken coop and rose gardens.
And there’s even a roomy terrace with a wood-fired stove and barbecue.
It comes as Harry is fighting to stop the release of immigration papers after concerns were raised over his visa application.
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 argue 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.
Lawyers for the US government have argued Harry’s drug claims in the explosive book “is not proof” he actually took them.
The Department for Homeland Security, which oversees immigration, say making Harry’s documents public would breach his privacy.
In its legal filing, DHS said the records at issue are “particularly sensitive” because they would “reveal Harry’s (immigration) status in the United States”.
HARRY’S VISA ROW
The key facts:
Harry claimed in his memoir Spare he has taken coke, weed and magic mushrooms.
A conservative think tank called the Heritage Foundation say the drug use claims pull Harry’s immigration status into question.
They took the US government to court demanding the Duke’s visa application is made public, to see if he lied about his past drug use.
If he did lie, Harry could be in breach of US federal law.
Government lawyers argue say releasing such documents would breach Harry’s privacy and security.
DHS has also claimed Harry still has a right to privacy even though he is a celebrity.
Judge Carl Nichols asked officials to hand over the documents in March, 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.
The conservative think tank say it is within the public interest to release Harry’s visa application.
On Monday a US ambassador said Harry would not be deported from the US, whatever the outcome of the trial.
