Prince Harry declares US as his new home, renounces British residency
This legal move comes amidst ongoing discussions about the couple's status within the royal family and their future plans

Washington, 18 April
Prince Harry has officially
declared the United States as his primary residence, marking a significant step
in his separation from the British royal family. According to documents
obtained by Page Six, the Duke of Sussex listed the US as his "new
country/state usually resident," a notable change from his previous ties
to the UK.
The paperwork, filed by Companies
House for Harry's eco-travel venture, Travalyst, indicates that this residency
shift occurred on 29 June, 2023, following Harry and Meghan Markle's departure
from their UK home, Frogmore Cottage, the day prior.
This legal move comes amidst
ongoing discussions about the couple's status within the royal family and their
future plans. While the impact of renouncing his British residency on Harry's
royal titles remains uncertain, there's speculation that he may address this
issue during an upcoming visit to London, as per Page Six.
Despite this change, Harry has
expressed conflicting sentiments about his connection to the UK, acknowledging
it as his "home" but citing safety concerns that prompted their move
to the US. In December 2023, Harry emphasized the importance of his children's
heritage and safety while on UK soil, despite their current residence in the
US.
However, the prince has also shown
interest in obtaining American citizenship, although he views it as a secondary
priority at present. Yet, Harry's past admissions of drug use, detailed in his
memoir 'Spare,' raise questions about the ease of his immigration process.
While some legal experts suggest
minimal impact unless he faces further legal issues, concerns linger regarding
potential repercussions, including the need to renounce his royal titles to
fulfil US citizenship requirements, as per a report by Page Six. (ANI)
