Prince Harry has officially renounced his British residency as his rift with the British royal family lingers. The Duke of Sussex picked the United States, US, as his primary residence. Documents from Page Six said Harry listed the US as his “new country/state usually resident,” a notable change from his previous ties to the UK.
According to the document filed by Companies House for Harry’s eco-travel venture, Travalyst, indicates that this residency shift occurred on June 29, 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. Harry expressed conflicting sentiments about his connection to the UK, stressing that it as his “home” but citing safety concerns that prompted their move to the US. In December 2023, the Duke of Sussex 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.
