Judge Denies Access to Prince Harry's Visa Files

Heritage Foundation v. DHS

"In this Freedom of Information Act case, Plaintiffs seek the disclosure by the Department
of Homeland Security of certain immigration records relating to the Duke of Sussex, a member of
the British Royal Family known popularly as "Prince Harry." The government argues that the
Duke has a privacy interest that outweighs any public interest in those records and has therefore
withheld them (and, with respect to one category, has declined to confirm whether they exist at
all). Following in camera review of certain records and associated declarations, the Court agrees
that the Duke's privacy interest outweighs any public interest, and therefore grants Defendant's
Motion for Summary Judgment, ECF No. 23, and denies Plaintiffs' Cross-Motion for Summary
Judgment, ECF No. 26."
