Prince Harry has faced a fresh blow as his US immigration papers have been ordered to be handed over to a judge so he can decide whether to make them public.
Judge Carl Nichols told the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that its arguments so far to keep them withheld were “insufficiently detailed” for him to make a decision. The justice asked the immigration agency to give him declarations explaining the “particular harm” that would arise from the disclosure of the Duke of Sussex’s visa application.
The development came after a hearing at the court in Washington DC, last month, in which Judge Nichols heard from DHS and the Heritage Foundation, which is seeking to release the material. The Foundation is seeking the release of the documents as part of a Freedom of Information request it filed last year.
