Please Harry, do us all a favour... and become a U.S. citizen

-

GOOD Morning America, the UsA’s biggest TV breakfast show, must have been thrilled to get the first interview with Prince Harry so soon after his father’s shocking cancer diagnosis.

it suited the Prince, too, for his admirable winter invictus Games were promoted on the show, and he was once again in the limelight just days after he and Meghan launched their new website, sussex.com.

Harry returned the favour, dutifully answering questions about King Charles’s health.

How did you hear of it? ‘i spoke to him. i jumped on a plane.’ Could the cancer diagnosis have a unifying effect on your family? ‘Possibly, yes. i love my family.’

william, Kate and Camilla, all traduced in the Prince’s memoir spare and the Netflix shows, may have a different take on that, but never mind.

The Prince told us he ‘loved every day’ living in California and was asked if he ‘felt American’ or planned to become a citizen of the United states? To which a thoughtful Harry said: ‘i’ve considered it, yes, it had crossed my mind.’

And i said to myself: ‘ Harry an American citizen? Hurrah! Could we finally rid ourselves of this troublesom­e Prince?’ True, he would have to get round the fact that U. s. authoritie­s won’t like his confession­s in spare of past drug use. But if he

became a U.s. citizen it could solve everything. for it wouldn’t then be up to his loving father to decide as King whether to strip him and Meghan of their titles.

According to U.s. immigratio­n policy, ‘ any applicant who has any titles of heredity or positions of nobility in any foreign state must renounce the title or the position’.

Harry would even have to ‘expressly renounce the title in a public ceremony’. The couple would no longer be a duke and duchess, just Harry and Meghan sussex — or whatever surname they chose to use.

Of course, it was a flight of fancy. i’m guessing Hell will freeze over before Harry and Meghan allow that to happen. The sussexes have no cachet in America without their royal connection­s.

But just imagine it. Harry the humanitari­an, a plain Mr — calm and serene, no longer railing against being a spare without a purpose. And us in Blighty enjoying peace at last from his constant whingeing.

Please Harry, do us all a favour. Become an American citizen.
