Royalty If Prince Harry (39) makes effective efforts to officially become an American citizen, he must take into account that he will lose his royal titles. Several media outlets in Britain and the United States point out that official rules require immigrants in America to renounce “hereditary titles or noble positions in a foreign state.”
King Charles’ youngest son discussed the possibility of applying for a U.S. passport in an interview with “Good Morning America” on Friday. “American citizenship is certainly a thought that has crossed my mind,” he said. However, it is unclear whether Harry is aware of the American rules. His spokesman declined to comment.
Earl of Dumbarton
In addition to being Duke of Sussex, the prince is also Earl of Dumbarton and Baron Kilkeel. Harry received these titles in May 2018 after he married his wife Meghan. In 2020, the prince said goodbye to his title of His Royal Highness. He made that agreement with Queen Elizabeth after the prince announced that he would be taking a step back within the royal family. He also settled in the US that year with his family.
However, attorney James L. Leonard Jr., who has worked on several immigration cases in the past, tells “Page Six” that an exception may be made for Harry. He says there has never been a similar case and that it could become a “unique problem” for the American justice system. “I can’t think of any other royal who has ever applied to become a US citizen,” he said. “I can’t imagine there has ever been such a scenario and I think it will raise a lot of interesting questions.”
