Prince Harry renounces British residency as he declares US his ‘new country’

Following his break from the royal family in 2020, Prince Harry has listed the United States as his primary residence for the first time.

The US is now listed as Harry, Duke of Sussex’s “New Country/State Usually Resident” in house records that were amended lately, according to documents obtained by the Daily Mail.

Harry noted that the “date of change” was June 29, 2023, even though the Companies House paperwork for his eco-tourism company, Travalyst, was filed on Wednesday.

Three months after King Charles III had ordered their eviction from Frogmore Cottage, Harry and his bride, Meghan Markle, officially left their home in the United Kingdom on June 28. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

Its unclear if Harry renouncing his British residency will impact any of his royal titles but he will meet his father next month while visiting London.

Despite the legal change, Harry explained in December 2023 that he still considered the UK to be his “home” but felt “forced” to flee to the US due to safety concerns.

“The UK is central to the heritage of my children and a place I want them to feel at home as much as where they live at the moment in the US,” the duke said in a written statement read in a London court amid his legal bid for taxpayer-funded police security — which was denied.

“That cannot happen if it’s not possible to keep them safe when they are on UK soil.”

Harry has also expressed interest in getting his American citizenship.

“The American citizenship is a thought that has crossed my mind, but certainly is not something that is a high priority for me right now,” he told “Good Morning America” in February.

Harry and Markle have lived in California with their two children for the last four years, and according to the former, they likely will stay there for a while.

“It’s amazing,” he said of West Coast living. “I love every single day.”
