Concerned about future complications at the US end if I did that, I went the normal route. But if that offer was made to me, I have no doubt Harry was made one he didn't refuse.
I had a similar conversation with someone re a Green Card.

Unlike Pamela Anderson, they didn't want publicity at that point in their move.

Not sure why anyone would think there was anything suspicious about it.

Not what I would consider a creditable source but:
“While it is not know how Harry has stayed in the US without permanent US citizenship, it is believed due to his royal status, he probably has an A1 visa which is reserved for "diplomats and government officials".Earlier this month, The Times reported while Harry is eligible to become a permanent US resident, he will not pursue residency and citizenship in the country.
A royal source said: "The Duke has not made an application for dual citizenship, and I don't think he will apply for a green card at any point."

He would have to go GC first before US Citizenship
But I can see an A1 is possible but did not think it came with work authorisation.
However it does come with Diplomatic Immunity of some sort.
How would he be paid?
