Duke of Sussex’s move marks a significant milestone in his life away from the royal family

Prince Harry has reached a new milestone since relocating to the United States four years ago, officially becoming a resident of the country. The news came to light after a travel company under his control filed paperwork, informing British authorities of his residency status in the U.S.

Living in Montecito, California with his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, since 2020, Prince Harry’s residency is now confirmed. The paperwork was filed by Travalyst Ltd, a company founded by the royal in 2020, with a mission to promote sustainable tourism globally.

Filed to Companies House, the British government agency overseeing UK companies, the documents confirm Prince Harry’s usual residency in the United States. This status may have implications for his role in the royal family, similar to that of U.S. citizenship, a prospect he has considered.

In an interview two months ago, Prince Harry mentioned thoughts of obtaining American citizenship but stated it was not a high priority at the moment. However, gaining U.S. citizenship would necessitate renouncing his royal titles, a significant decision for the Duke of Sussex.

Royal expert Russell Myers commented on the consequences of Prince Harry obtaining dual citizenship, highlighting the requirement to renounce all princely titles as per U.S. citizenship policy. Renouncing titles is a crucial step before gaining American citizenship, according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) website.

Prince Harry’s journey into U.S. residency opens new possibilities while also highlighting the complexities of his transition away from his royal heritage.
