Prince Harry facing major dilemma if he officially becomes US citizen after cutting huge UK tie

Prince Harry has made a significant move signaling his continued separation from the UK, indicating his intention to remain in the United States for the foreseeable future.

The Duke of Sussex, who has been residing in California with his wife Meghan Markle and their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, has formally changed his country of residence from the UK to the US. This change was reflected in an official document filed with Companies House related to his eco-tourism not-for-profit organization Travalyst, which he established.

The alteration, dated June 29, 2023, coincided with one of the final days the couple had access to their former UK residence, Frogmore Cottage, before relinquishing it. Previously, Prince Harry had contemplated pursuing American citizenship during an interview with a US morning show. However, the prospect comes with a significant caveat tied to his royal title.

US immigration regulations stipulate that individuals holding titles of heredity or positions of nobility in foreign states must renounce these titles or positions to attain American citizenship. Furthermore, this renunciation must be conducted publicly, with the process documented by USCIS.

Despite occasional visits to the UK, such as his upcoming trip to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, Prince Harry's ties to his homeland have become increasingly strained. This was evidenced by his recent legal battle over the level of personal security provided to him during visits to the UK, which he ultimately lost.

While his initial appeal was denied, Prince Harry still has the option to seek permission directly from the Court of Appeal to bring forth a further appeal, indicating his ongoing legal efforts in navigating his ties to the UK amidst his new life in the United States.
