Royal writer and photographer, Ian Lloyd, said that the only reason Prince Harry is "significant" is because he is son of King Charles III and Princess Diana.

Ian was on GB News on Saturday and spoke to the show hosts about Harry's book Spare and American citizenship ase. Ian says that the White House is making the claims that the book is not proof that Harry took drugs so that he could stay in the United States. A court in the United States began hearing a case on whether the US government should release Harry's visa application. In 2020, Harry and his wife Meghan Markle announced their decision to step back from the royal family and moved to California.

Ian said that the Duke should be treated like everyone else and the case was the right thing to do "whether he did admit to it or not." Harry was recently asked if he would want to become a US citizen and Ian believes that Harry would want to keep his links with Britain to remain a "significant person on the world stage." The only reason Harry is even "significant" is because "he is son of King Charles III and Diana," Ian said.

The Heritage Foundation filed a lawsuit against the Department for Homeland Security for allowing Harry an American visa to move to the country. In Spare, which was published in January 2023, Harry wrote about the time he tried cocaine as a teenager,

He smoked marijuana and tried "magic mushrooms." He wrote: "I had consumed some more …It wasn’t very fun, and it didn’t make me feel especially happy as seemed to happen to others, but it did make me feel different, and that was my main objective. To feel. To be different."

The foundation claims the Department for Homeland Security gave Harry preferential treatment in order to process his US visa, and if proven, “could have adverse immigration consequences for non-citizens.”

Fans under the clip believe that Harry does in fact need his Britain links. One person wrote: "Harry NEEDS to keep his links with Britain. Britain does NOT need (or want) him in any way, shape or form." Another person wrote: "If Harry cared about this country he would not have acted the way he has. He has done all he can to sever his links with Britain and the longer he stays away the better."
