Recent reports indicate that Prince Harry, in a significant development, has purportedly contemplated obtaining US citizenship, a decision that would entail the relinquishment of his cherished royal titles. The Duke of Sussex has allegedly taken a deliberate step in this direction by backdating his official status as a US resident to the precise day he and his wife, Meghan, were compelled to vacate their UK residence.

Speculation surrounding Harry’s potential pursuit of US citizenship has sparked widespread interest and conjecture among royal experts, who posit that this decision may carry symbolic weight. According to these experts, the timing of Harry’s purported move appears to be laden with significance, with suggestions that it could be construed as a pointed response to the circumstances surrounding his departure from Frogmore Cottage.

The circumstances surrounding Harry’s decision to potentially renounce his royal titles and embrace US citizenship have given rise to various interpretations and analyses within royal circles. Some observers suggest that Harry’s purported consideration of US citizenship may be emblematic of his desire for autonomy and independence from the constraints of his royal lineage, while others speculate that it could reflect a deeper sense of disillusionment or estrangement from his familial ties.

Regardless of the motivations behind his decision, the prospect of Prince Harry embracing US citizenship represents a notable departure from tradition and convention within the British monarchy. As discussions surrounding his potential renunciation of royal titles continue to unfold, the implications of this development for the future dynamics of the royal family remain the subject of ongoing speculation and debate.

In an update of Company House records filed this week, the Duke of Sussex declared the United States his “new country” of residence.

He and Meghan, 42, moved to California in 2020 after choosing to quit Britain and step down as working royals.

However, in business documents filed for his eco firm Travalyst, Harry said he been a US resident since June 29 last year.

That was the day his father King Charles — backed by Harry’s brother William — ordered him to return the keys to his Windsor bolthole.

Royal author Phil Dampier believes it is a sign that Harry — who has launched several attacks on the Royal Family — has cut ties with the UK.

He said last night: “As always with Harry a lot can be read into his actions.

“Being ousted from Frogmore Cottage wounded him deeply.

“Charles and William knew it had to be done to emphasise Harry and Meghan were outside The Firm but he probably still thought he could keep a base here. Now he’s shown he accepts his life is in the US.”

Harry said this year he has “considered” US citizenship, which would mean renouncing his royal titles.

Mr Dampier believes he may never live in the UK again, and said he would not be missed.

The British public “have lost respect for him and regard him as the prince of idleness and division”, he added.

Harry founded Travalyst in 2019 and previously listed himself as a UK resident.

He is due to return next month for a ten-year anniversary celebration of his Invictus Games.

Last week the US government handed over his previous visa application to a court amid claims he lied on it.

Harry confessed last year to drug-taking, which must be declared.

US presidential nominee Donald Trump warned: “If he lied they’ll have to take appropriate action.”
