Prince Harry Admits He Has ‘Considered’ Pursuing U.S. Citizenship

Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex speaks onstage at The Archewell Foundation Parents’ Summit: Mental Wellness in the Digital Age during Project Healthy Minds' World Mental Health Day Festival 2023 at Hudson Yards on Oct. 10, 2023, in New York City.

Prince Harry has admitted that he has thought about becoming a U.S. citizen, though it's not at the top of his to-do list.

The Duke of Sussex shared whether he has given any thought to pursuing U.S. citizenship during a recent interview with ABC News reporter Will Reeve for Good Morning America.

“I have considered it, yeah,” Harry told Reeve. Becoming an American citizen “is a thought that has crossed my mind,” he added, but is “certainly not something that’s a high priority for me right now.”

At the time of the interview, Harry was in Whistler, British Columbia, with his wife, Meghan Markle. The couple visited one of the sites of the 2025 Invictus Games, the international competition for wounded military personnel and veterans that Harry launched about 10 years ago.

Harry told Reeve that living in the U.S. is “amazing.”

“I love every single day,” he said.

Despite Harry’s thoughts about becoming a U.S. citizen, the duke hinted late last year that he would also like to move back to the U.K., a place he called “my home.” Harry and Meghan moved from their former home in the U.K. to Canada for a few months in early 2020. That summer, they moved again to the U.S., where they currently have a home they share with their two young children, Archie and Lilibet, in California.

Though Harry does, for the most part, still appear to be estranged from his father, King Charles III, and older brother, Prince William, he visited the king earlier this month following the monarch’s cancer diagnosis. Harry told Reeve that he “jumped on a plane and went to go see [the king] as soon as I could” after hearing the news.

Whether or when Harry will become a U.S. citizen is unknown. For now, Harry says he has trips coming up that’ll bring him back to the U.K. to visit with his father, who has already begun his cancer treatment.

“I’ll stop in and see my family as much as I can,” Harry told Reeve.
