Prince Harry Reveals If He Plans to Become a U.S. Citizen 4 Years After Moving to California
The Duke of Sussex admitted that he’s unsure as to whether he feels American or not after living across the pond for four years.
While Prince Harry has been living in the United States for four years, he’s still not sure if he’s going to go through the process of becoming a United States citizen. The Duke of Sussex, 39, admitted that he had “considered” citizenship in an interview with Good Morning America on Friday, February 16. Still, Harry showed that he was very happy to be living in the U.S.
While speaking about the Invictus Games, Harry explained that while he’s clearly put some thought forward as to whether or not he should become an American citizen, it’s not a prime concern currently. “I’m here standing next to this with these guys and the American citizenship is a thought that has crossed my mind but certainly not something that is a high priority for me right now,” he told GMA.
