Prince Harry, who left the royal life in 2020 and relocated to California with his family, is said to be looking into acquiring a United States citizenship.
"The American citizenship is a thought that has crossed my mind but is certainly not something that is a high priority for me right now," Harry said to Good Morning Americain his new interview.
The Duke is currently enjoying a life of his choice in Montecito along with his wife Meghan and their two children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet after saying goodbye to the UK.
Harry, who's raising his two young children aged four and two in the United States, added: "I have no idea. I'm here standing next to these guys."
However, some commentators and experts believe that it might not be Harry's own motivation to become a citizen but his previous history of drug use which he admitted to in his memoir titled Spare could be reason.
It's being claimed that his application could be rejected out of hand by US immigration policies after his admission to drug.
A US attorney has also offered precedence to Harry's cause, after he represented Joe Giudice during his immigrations case.
"Absent any criminal charge related to drugs or alcohol or any finding," Guidice said.
"By a judicial authority that Prince Harry is a habitual drug user, which he clearly is not. I don't see any issue with the disclosures in his memoir regarding recreational experimentation with drugs."
The Prince, who still holds the title of Duke of Sussex, could be forced to revoke that status despite using it as a marketing tool for his charitable and professional endeavors. It's also the name his children bear as official last names.
"Any applicant who has any titles of heredity or positions of nobility in any foreign state must renounce the title or the position," the US Citizenship and Immigration Services documents declare.
"The applicant must expressly renounce the title in a public ceremony and USCIS must record the renunciation as part of the proceedings."
