Sharpies at the Ready
President Trump’s revelation to the New York Post that he would not deport Prince Harry if he was found to have fudged his visa application re: his drug use. Having admitted in his bestselling autobiography Spare that he partook in cannabis and psychedelic mushrooms could not have come at a better time for the Duke of Sussex.
The judge in his U.S. visa case has indicated he is open to releasing “maximum” portions of secret documents regarding the Riven Rock resident’s immigration status.
In a hearing last week in Washington, D.C. Judge Carl Nichol asked lawyers from the Department of Homeland Security to pass on details of redactions they would like to request so he could then consider making some elements public.
The case has been brought by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, after its request under the Freedom of Information Act for a copy of the royal’s visa records was rejected by the DHS.
The organization argues that King Charles III’s youngest son should not have received a U.S. visa due to his history of drug use disclosed in his book.
Judge Nichol said he wanted “maximum disclosure as long as it doesn’t violate privacy.”
But whatever the court decision and the facts it discloses, Harry will obviously not be impacted.
Trump declared “The prince has got enough problems with his wife. She
is terrible.”
Presumably he will not be expecting an invitation to tea at their Rockbridge Road estate any time soon…
Boat Still on Stream
Netflix has vowed to stand by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex after their projects garnered disappointing ratings, particularly dire reviews of Prince Harry’s recent polo documentary.
Among growing rumors the streaming giant wants to part ways with the Riven Rock duo, Netflix Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria insists the company remains “excited” with the prospect of future projects with Harry and Meghan.
Bajaria is confident Meghan’s new lifestyle cooking series With Love, Meghan, which is scheduled to air in March, will be a hit.
“It is such a great take on a lifestyle show for California, Montecito and nature. It really had great takeaways. I was like ‘Oh, my God. I really want to do that pasta.’ They are really great takeaways on life,” stated Bajaria
Bajaria, who was speaking at the 2025 Next at Netflix preview event in Los Angeles, also revealed Meghan is working on a screen adaptation of the bestselling romance novel Meet Me at the Lake by Carley Fortune which remains “in development.”
A Transforming Lifetime
Santa Barbara warbler Katy Perry was even more electrifying than usual when a transformer exploded while she was signing autographs in Hollywood last week.
Katy was about to make her 13th appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! at the El Capitan Entertainment Center to publicize her 76-date The Lifetime Tour that kicks off April 23 in Mexico City when she walked over to the fan fence to sign photographs and other memorabilia.
A member of her fan base grazed her elbow against the transformer, briefly setting her coat on fire, but fortunately there were no injuries.
