From a British point of view, no. From an American point of view, I don't think so. Meghan is an American citizen and holds the title of Duchess of Sussex. Jackie Kennedy's sister called herself Princess Lee Radziwill. Wallis Simpson held the title of Duchess of Windsor.

Also of note, the A-1 visa stated that they must be a member of a ruling family. But, if Harry takes out US citizenship, would that not take that particular allowance out as well? He would no longer be a member of the British Royal family and would now be a US citizen?

If Harry takes up US citizenship, he will automatically acquire right of abode in the United States and, therefore, won't need any visa. Visas are only for non-citizens.

Although Harry would be required by US federal law to renounce his titles prior to naturalization as a US citizen, that renunciation would have no legal effect in the UK. Harry would keep his titles in the UK and, of course, also his place in the line of succession.
 
Trump likes to play the tough man, but I really don't think he'd be pushing Harry into the queue of people he says he's going to kick out of the US. He might not get another invite to England to schmooze with royalty. Harry is still the Monarch's son after all!

Nah, it’s not worth the headache. I don’t even think he’ll unclassify the visa application.

Considering all what is happening in the world today, not only in the US, and him being one of the most important leaders (sorry to say so, but it is a fact) , I really don't think that anything concerning Harry is or will be important to him right now or in the forseeable future. There are much more global problems he will be confronted with and has to find solutions.
 
And incidentally, missed this.

Prince Harry Spends Time With Pat Tillman's Widow During Surprise Appearance at Tillman Honors Gala

The Duke of Sussex was honored with the Pat Tillman Award For Service at the ESPYs earlier this year.

Prince Harry made a surprise pubic appearance earlier this week, deepening his connection to a foundation that has become near and dear to his heart. On Wednesday, Nov. 6, the Duke of Sussex attended The Pat Tillman Foundation's annual Tillman Honors gala, held at the Union League Club of Chicago.


According to a social media post from the Foundation's Instagram account, the gala featured "over 400 supporters" who all came together to celebrate the foundation's "remarkable Tillman Scholars and raise essential funds for the Tillman Scholar Program."
 
I’m sure everyone has seen it on social media, now there’s an article with HR photos of the launch of Highbrow Hippie, the brand of Meghan’s colourist. Meghan is an investor.

Harry is a sad, damaged man. Even after being admonished by the judge he continues. He won't be satisfied until he gets to sit on the stand and tell the world how wronged he's been. Pathetic.

Yes, I wish he would just let this all go and get on with his life. Even if he wins, I am sure his legal team will take most of whatever the financial gain is.
 
I don't think he is a sad damaged man. I think he is forging through because he can. If he doesn't expose the media for their illegal activities who will? Many average people don't have the deep pockets to follow through on their lawsuits and have to settle. Not all people hacked or illegally had info obtained are rich and famous. Many lives have been ruined, friendships and families destroyed. If everyone just settles then what has been going on will not be fully exposed and changes made.

I am not sure what he is looking for, admissions have been made that is why compensation has been paid out.
I may be wrong but it looks like he wants to bring down the palace with this, he is obsessed with secret pacts/ agreements. He seems to view his brother settling out of court as being something underhand.
Of course there would have been private discussions trying to seek a resolution.
The whole point of settling out of court is that you do not wish your dirty linen aired in public, has it not struck Harry that maybe there was an attempt being made to protect him.
 
Nobody is attacking mercilessly or otherwise on here. And if Meghan has invested in a hair products company (or any other company she has invested in for that matter) then surely it’s nice of her to turn up for their launch party to give them a bit of extra publicity etc. Also, members of other royal families have been known to appear at openings of restaurants and at bookstores etc.
 
Far be it from me to fully understand behaviors of any of the royals or those that have married into the various royals across the globe. However, it does make perfect sense for Meghan to attend a launch party for a product and people she has personally invested in and supported now that the Sussexes have stepped down from official royal duties and moved to the US. Yes, it appears to be quite a comedown in royal status but these are the choices and freedoms made by the Sussexes. "It is what it is".

This is exactly what it looks like to me. He seems obsessed with proving his planting and leaking claim. And no one cares really. The media have been neutered since these days. We all all know they are better. However, we all know the media can be cruel. Especially when you play with them, thinking you can control the narrative. If you are in a Faustian pact with them - as the royal family is as they need them to promote their work. That relationship is not going to be a saintly moral one.
 
There is no doubt about it that in the past during the 'War of the Wales' there was planting and leaking, they were called out for it. Is it still going on , who knows?
The palace does need the media to deliver what the royals are doing, their various projects etc etc so that is not surprising, Are they leaking on other members, we do not know.
Harry needs to be careful, there are those that believe he is doing exactly that along with Megan through their chosen ' up and coming' journalists.
Planting and leaking is not what the court case is about, it is about illegal methods of story gathering, which in some cases is not denied.
This all happened many years ago, things have changed hopefully for the better, journalists today have said that some of the stuff Harry put in his book they would have been banned from publishing in a newspaper by the lawyers.
He also needs to be wary of what he has said in interviews and written about, he gets his facts mixed up, so how reliable a witness is he. I personally do not think he cares about winning or money, he wants to name names in court whether the judge strikes it from the court record or not, he wants to say what he wants to say then it is out there, how accurate it might be is anybody's guess but mud sticks. Just my opinion, but he appears to be furious that William settled out of court, he keeps inferring it was a secret deal, is an out of court settlement not usually kept private, has he moaned that Hugh Grant and Baroness Lawrence settled out of court.
IMO he is unhappy with the Late Queens Private Secretaries, he made it clear in the book he did not like them. He might not like it if they give their version of events.
We will know come January,

I wonder why Meghan is always invading somebody's personal space while being photographed with other people? She's cluthing to them or embracing in weird day. Does she fear to be cut from the photo?

Meghan has always closed in when being photographed, IMO in the early days this was a way of implying friendship where possibly there was none, or just somebody at the same event.
 
I agree with you Hallo girl on a lot of points you made. I also agree that he is furious or disappointed that William settled and not sure if this had been a secret settlement where as the others such as Hugh Grant and Sienna Miller settled their suits publicly due to the cost. Without knowing what happens in his therapy sessions I think seeing what happened to his mother and the continuing “illegal” means of gathering info by the media on the famous and not famous is a real sore spot for him and it is not about the $ but the harm it has done without any repercussions.

I’d be worries they are going to go bankrupt with all these legal cases- especially as this one has been said by all sides and the judge to incur huge costs.

I agree that this is going to be very expensive. The media conglomerates have very deep pockets and their tactic has been to delay and delay the suits to the point people need to settle because of the enormous lawyer fees.
