The Duke of Sussex's US visa records have been the subject of a legal action between The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, and the Department of Homeland Security in Washington DC.

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told GB News that if Harry and Meghan opted to leave the US, there would be other countries ahead of the UK on their list of potential destinations.
Fitzwillaims said: "I would not say that in the case that Harry was deported, he would necessarily come back to the UK.
"He could go to Canada, where they were before (moving to the US), or Portugal where they have a holiday home."
Fitzwilliams added: "Obviously, the Royal Family would not want the Sussexes in Britain but the Sussexes would not want to come to Britain.
