Harry to give an interview to discuss Charles's illness

[Viviennemary]

I just read an article in the DM about this. I really honestly couldn't believe he would do this. I just hope it isn't true. Just how could he. Privacy????.

The Duke of Sussex has told US TV that he "jumped on a plane" as soon as possible to see King Charles after his father was diagnosed with cancer.
In an interview with ABC News, Prince Harry said it had only been a brief meeting in London but he was grateful for the time with his father.
The prince said he believed the Royal Family would rally around the King.
He also said he had "considered" taking American citizenship - but it was not currently a priority.
Speaking to ABC's Good Morning America, the prince would not be drawn on the King's health condition, saying that would stay between father and son.
However, he said he believed his family would be closer to help the King.

He's not really said a lot and does appear to have been directly asked on topic and made vague statements in response.

If he became a USA citizen - which I think would make sense for him raising kids and working over there - he'd have to renounce his titles.

All Harry needs to do is to tell GMA that there will be no questions about the King or others in the RF - he doesn't need to be pushed, when he's the one giving the exclusive and can do the pushing back and boundary setting well in advance. But he didn't do that, did he. Because he knows giving little hints about what he knows about his father's health puts the spotlight on him, and makes him look like he is still an insider, whilst also occupying the moral high ground with his "reconciliation in illness" word salad.

He had the option to keep the focus on TIG, and now, once again, the games will be drowned out by Harry's me, me, me.

Oh please harry has two feet, and a gob on him (bigger than most). Harry did NOT have to give that interview and if he did not he would not have done so.

He gave the interview because he wanted to simple fact and we all know exactly why he did to sell his brand.

Well, that's never going to happen!
How come Meghan, Archie and Lilibet can have titles as US citizens?

I assume the actual interview was a massive disappointment to many posters.....

😂😂😂

😋

No chance of him applying to change his nationality, then.

Yep were ecstatic Harry ensured that that in the interview they only discussed the Invictus games and all its amazing participants and that he said there would be no interview otherwise as its not about him.

OH wait!!!!!! 😂

How come Meghan, Archie and Lilibet can have titles as US citizens?

Old law that says naturalized must renounce any foreign titles - law section is 8 USA section 1448.

"In case the person applying for naturalization has borne any hereditary title, or has been of any of the orders of nobility in any foreign state, the applicant shall in addition to complying with the requirements of subsection (a) of this section, make under oath in the same public ceremony in which the oath of allegiance is administered, an express renunciation of such title or order of nobility, and such renunciation shall be recorded as a part of such proceedings."

USA law doesn't prohibit citizen from accepting titles from other governments - one was proposed but not ratified.

Meghan's titles are Harry's - so I think her's would go but not the kids. Though if he does Green card route - permanent resident - he doesn't have to renounce them.

I think becoming a US citizen has considerable tax implications.

So Archie and Lilibet can remain Prince and Princess and also US citizens?

It was definitely worse than I was expecting , Harry positioning himself as the voice of understanding and reconciliation. “I love my family” imagine spare if he hated them and the illness bringing them together, how does illness change in anyway William and Harry relationship. As for Thomas he must be the wrong sort of family

Yes: US citizens can have foreign titles, but non-US citizens have to give up their titles if they become naturalized. However, the titles an American has are officially not recognized (i.e. not given any privileges) within America.

The tax implications are huge, but Meghan will already be paying them.

The Royals aren't a family, they're a firm, they even refer to themselves as much. I may have a little bit more sympathy with Harry, because my aunt was friends with his mother (the woman his Dad treated appallingly). However, the only investment I have in any them is wanting to see them abolished. But fine, you crack on with doing the Daily Mail's job for them.

Thanks for that . Interesting .
Did I read something earlier about Germany Invictus going their own way ? I might have misread as I was in a hurry but it caught my eye and now I can’t find it ( on Granny duty so slightly distracted )

So if Harry becomes naturalised, he will need to give up his title. If he does, Meghan's title should fall away also as it's only derived from Harry's. Lily will be able to retain her title as an American citizen. Archie is British born, but will he have dual nationality through his mother or have been naturalised? If the latter, then he'll have lost his title, whereas his sister will have kept her's.

As I understand it yes - they're already USA citizens and as such are allowed to hold titles from other countries.

As Harry not a USA citizen it's that process that has law saying need to renounce titles - and impact Meghan who can hold on to her own titles but the titles she uses are bestowed on him.

If he renounces Sussex title it would stay with no one in role till he dies and Archie gets it - at least that's what Wikipedia says on Peerage Act 1963.

A peer who disclaims the peerage loses all titles, rights and privileges associated with the peerage; if they are married, so does their spouse. No further hereditary peerage may be conferred upon the person, but a life peerage may be. The peerage remains without a holder until the death of the peer who had made the disclaimer, when it descends to his or her heir in the usual manner.

Definitely.

I think 🤔 it's a case of newspaper highlighting out of perspective as usaul par of the course something to generate even more sales as its something topical and possibly bit problematic cause of the nature of Prince Harry relationship currently has with his father ...

Yes I was just thinking that - that some these posts are like reading the Daily Mail. Doing their job for them🙄

Yes, but for many here, there's nothing like a good bit frothing to get one's day started!

Really pharmaceutical companies must have made a fortune after January 2020 😂

Archie is British born, but will he have dual nationality through his mother or have been naturalised

He and Lilibet have duel citizenship - ie are already citizens of USA and UK subjects.

So while they can renounce one or other or keep both they don't have to go though naturalisation to get citizenship as they already have it.

Of course they are a family. They are still human beings. Yes its an institution but they are the people in the institution. How dehumanising to dismiss the idea that there is a family at the heart of this....

Good luck with the duty…😊
