The Plot to Deport a Prince
6th June 2023
America! The land of the free. A place for second chances. But if you’re a foreigner who wants to keep basking in the aforementioned freedom, the one thing you probably shouldn’t do is write about your excessive drug use in a memoir when you’re on a visa.
That’s the mistake made by Prince Harry, who now faces legal action that could end with his deportation back to Britain.
You’d think a royal armed with the best schooling (and lawyers) money can buy would know that. But as is clear from Prince Harry’s latest debacle, hundreds of thousands of the finest British pounds in tuition will only get you so far. In his memoir Spare he wrote that he had consumed cocaine on several occasions. “Of course. I had been doing cocaine around this time. At someone’s country house, during a shooting weekend, I’d been offered a line, and I’d done a few more since,” Harry revealed. Perhaps you could forgive him the mistakes of a wealthy seventeen-year-old. But then came the chapter in which Harry bragged about having magic mushrooms and the trip that followed while he was at Friends star Courtney Cox’s house in Los Angeles.
But he has to take his wife with him.
