Prince Harry's contemplation of obtaining U.S. citizenship may potentially jeopardize his ties to the royal family, particularly his royal title, following his recent statement regarding a potential family reunion.
The "Renunciation of Title or Order of Nobility" policy outlined by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) stipulates that individuals holding titles of heredity or positions of nobility in foreign states must renounce such titles as part of the naturalization process.
According to the USCIS guidelines, renunciation of titles or positions of nobility must occur publicly, and the renunciation must be recorded as part of the naturalization proceedings. Failure to renounce such titles could indicate a lack of attachment to the principles outlined in the U.S. Constitution.
Prince Harry, 39, acknowledged considering American citizenship during an interview aired on Good Morning America, although he clarified that it is not currently a top priority for him.
However, Harry's pursuit of U.S. citizenship may present a dilemma regarding his aspirations for family reunification with the royal family, as evidenced by his recent emotional statement regarding his meeting with King Charles after the monarch's cancer diagnosis.
During his interview with Will Reeve on Good Morning America, Prince Harry expressed love for his family and emphasized the unifying effect of familial illness, hinting at his desire for reconciliation amidst challenges.
The potential choice between reuniting with the royal family and pursuing U.S. citizenship poses a significant decision for Prince Harry, one that may require careful consideration of his personal priorities and familial obligations. As Harry weighs his options, the future trajectory of his royal ties and citizenship remains uncertain.
