Prince HarryandMeghan Marklehave faced intense scrutiny since they began their courtship in 2016.
Throughout their journey, they’ve confronted security challenges, public disapproval, and relentless media criticism.
In February 2024, Harry revealed that he considered applying for U.S. citizenship.
Insiders contend that Harry becoming a U.S. citizen is a rather farfetched prospect.
Under U.S. law, anyone seeking American citizenship must relinquish their hereditary title.
But all that could change if Harry pursues U.S. citizenship.
immigration expert Christi Hufford Jackson posited toThe Telegraph.
But most damning was Harry’s claim that his brother physically assaulted him.
According to the memoir, Prince William became enraged after Harry accused him of being complicit in anti-Meghan propaganda.
“It all happened so fast …
He grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace,” Harry wrote.
“And he knocked me to the floor.
At this point, it appeared there was no mending the rift between the brothers.
If Harry were to renounce his U.K. citizenship, it would undoubtedly be the final nail in the coffin.
But it’s for this very reason that insiders doubt whether Harry will pursue U.S. citizenship.
In his memoir, Prince Harry revealed he experimented with various illicit substances in his youth.
He could lend a more overt political presence in the U.S.
Since moving to the U.S., Prince Harry has been vocal about several causes close to his heart.
In 2020, he expressed support for the Black Lives Matter movement.
“Everyone benefits if the black community gets treated the way they should be treated.”
The video caused controversy, as royals are expected to remain politically neutral.
This means should Prince Archie have children in the distant future, they will automatically be granted U.K. citizenship.
However, his sister, Princess Lilibet, was born in California.
Subsequently, Lilibet’s potential future children may have difficulty obtaining citizenship in their grandfather’s homeland.
This is in spite of the fact that Lilibet holds a royal title.
Harry’s future grandchildren will still remain in the line of succession, however.
“They were born with it.”
“There’s no turning back now from their latest vicious attacks,” royal enthusiast Nile Gardiner toldExpress.
Gardiner had previously suggested the couple was the most reviled in royal history.
Indeed, that year, it was reported Harry and Meghan’s popularity rating had reached an all-time low.
Then again, that doesn’t mean he’ll be welcomed with open arms by the American public.
“Who could be surprised if Harry were welcomed with something short of open arms?”
If Harry seeks out U.S. citizenship, this could cause further strain on the ailing king.
“yo, boys.
Accordingly, she argued it was about time he left the country and his royal title behind for good.
“I said to myself: ‘Harry an American citizen?
Could we finally rid ourselves of this troublesome Prince?'”
“Just imagine it.
Harry the humanitarian, a plain Mr … no longer railing against being a spare without a purpose.
And us in Blighty enjoying peace at last from his constant whingeing.”
Responding to the remarks, Trump toldThe Sun, “I didn’t know that she was nasty.”
When Trump learned Harry was considering becoming a U.S. citizen, the Republican presidential nominee was less than impressed.
Trump, meanwhile, would offer no favors to Harry if he sought U.S. citizenship.
“I wouldn’t protect him,” he said.
“He betrayed the Queen.
He would be on his own if it was down to me.”
He also claimed that if he wins the presidency, he would deport the Duke of Sussex.
As an anonymous immigration lawyer toldThe Daily Beast, Trump could certainly make good on his promise.
“DOS decisions are discretionary and very susceptible to political influence.”
Harry could also be banned from re-entering the country.
