I'm not familiar with the US/Uk legislation.
Is a dual citizenship an option for Doria? (And for that matter for Meghan, considering her status.)
That would make it simpler for Doria to stay for as long as she wish, not that I think there would be any problems on the British side regardless. That's "fixable."
But on the US side? I mean in regards to taxation and what not.
Dual citizen is allowed by both countries, I believe. And Meghan would have to specifically renounce her US citizenship after obtaining British. It doesn’t just go away like some.
As for Doria, I just don’t see the benefit of dual citizenship or even residency while she’s still working given the flexible visitor visa. She does have a life of her own in LA. As far as I know, there hasn’t been anything concrete on her job. There was a rumor about her quitting and starting her own practice, but one of the stories that came out about the wedding reception is that someone asked her if she’ll be staying in London for awhile, and Doria’s response is no, she has to get back to her job and dogs. Even if she is working on her own and have more flexible hours, it’s highly unlikely that she can be away for longer than 3 months due to the nature of her job.
Now, back to Frogmore Cottage, do I think Foria will have her own space there? Yes. Do I think she’ll visit there often? Yes. Do I think she’ll be attached at the hips with Meghan? No. Most healthy family relationships aren’t.
On another note, I’m not surprised that Frogmore won’t be a 10 bedroom home once they are done with it. First, why do they need so many bedrooms for? I’m sure their overseas friends won’t all be visiting at the same time for an extended period or can afford hotels in the area. Second, my understanding of rooms in Europe is that it’s generally smaller than what we are used to in US. So if they are going to basically gut the entire inside and start over, I would say go for the room size and architectural features you want.
