AMANDA PLATELL: Just give up your royal titles Harry and become an American citizen

When Prince Harry and Meghan left our shores for a new life in America in 2020, they told us it was so they could “not only survive but thrive.”

But even though they were no longer working royals, Harry was adamant about one thing: “The United Kingdom is my home and a place I love.” This will never change.

Well, that didn’t last long. Now he has registered his home as America. In an update to Companies House records filed this week, the Duke of Sussex declared the United States his “new country” of residence.

But will he go further? When asked in a television interview whether he would consider becoming a U.S. citizen, he dodged the question — almost certainly because U.S. immigration policy states that “any applicant who possesses hereditary titles or positions of nobility in a foreign State must renounce this title or this citizenship”. position’.

Across the Atlantic, Harry and Meghan cling to their family ties like poison ivy

So Harry seems to hold both cards. He wants to become a “resident” of the United States, but not a citizen, because he must retain his and Meghan’s titles as Duke and Duchess of Sussex and bleed them for all their worth.

Without them there would never have been a multi-million pound deal with Netflix.

It’s not like they were hired for their talent.

Harry and Meghan are reportedly pursuing projects outside of the royal family, such as his American Riviera Orchard jam. Yet they cling to their family ties like poison ivy.

They should have the courage to follow their convictions.

Harry should become a US citizen, give up his titles and see what it’s like in the real world to be Harry and Meghan Windsor.

After Meghan debuted her strawberry jam, her new best friend Tracy Robbins, who is married to the Paramount boss, posted on social media: “I love this jam.” . . “breakfast, lunch and dinner just got a lot sweeter.” Which nincompoop has jam with every meal?

Sydney is the real deal

Famed Hollywood producer Carol Baum told the New York Times that she didn’t see the point in rising actress Sydney Sweeney, 26.

“She’s not pretty, she doesn’t know how to play. Why is she so hot? Nobody has the answer. What cruelty on the part of the highly respected Baum, 81, to attack a young actress in this way.

And she misses the point. We ordinary women love new stars who aren’t classically “pretty.” They are all the more real and fabulous.

Calls to ban spanking made me think of my childhood. I only received a real slap from my father once, on the butt, while I was on vacation. Despite strict instructions not to go near “the lagoon,” where two children had drowned, I took my little brother there.

Out all day, we were finally found by a search team. I never did it again.

Victoria Beckham was engaged to electrician Mark Wood who lived with her in her family home. VB later said: “If only he had stayed in the closet I met him in at my mother’s house.” That’s not nice Vic, but I wonder if Mark thinks he was lucky to escape, given the public pantomime of your life.

A big challenge for Alison

High hopes for the new romance between TV’s bubbly Alison Hammond, 49, and her handsome 6ft 10in Russian masseur, David Putman, 26, above.

David’s friends say he doesn’t mind the 23-year age difference. Me neither – but Alison should note that he lives with his uncle in Slough while she’s worth over a million. Maybe she should talk to Vanessa Feltz before this relationship gets any hotter.

Target terrorists

Survivors and families of victims of the Manchester Arena bombing sue M15 under Human Rights Act claiming that they could have prevented the tragedy.

But what about the hundreds of atrocities that M15 prevented?

It’s a bit as if the victims of the Twin Towers attacks of September 11 were suing the American secret services.

The only ones who should be brought to justice are the perpetrators of these despicable acts.

It’s not Mission Impossible, Suri

Who knows what happened in the Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes marriage that ended amid rumors that they split because of his faith in Scientology.

It’s just sad to learn that their daughter Suri, now 18, has no contact with her father and wouldn’t even answer the phone if he called her. As I know, dads are especially important to girls.

They help define our entire worldview of men.

If I were Suri, I’d call her. It’s never too late.

Lyrics and song titles from Taylor Swift’s new album have leaked. “I wish I could forget how we almost had everything,” is believed to be a reference to her six-year affair with Briton Joe Alwyn. I know it is obligatory for women to worship at the altar of this self-made billionaire. But what’s empowering about a woman who only writes songs making fun of the men she’s slept with and dumped?

Donald Trump cries foul as his secret trial begins with allegations he had affairs with porn star Stormy Daniels and Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal.

The worst part is that Trump’s “affair” with McDougal allegedly took place while his wife Melania was pregnant with their first child.

This week’s heroine is headteacher Katharine Birbalsingh, who took on a Muslim student in the High Court who claimed the ban on prayers at her secular London school was a violation of her human rights.

It is surprising that the girl says she feels persecuted – but plans to continue her studies there.

Sainsbury’s staff member Niamke Doffou was sacked after failing to pay for the ‘life bags’ he used to do his shopping after a night shift. Given that some of their employees only earn £8.81 an hour, while CEO Simon Roberts pockets £4.95 million,

I don’t think I’ll be rushing out to shop there anytime soon.

Why accuse Sacha now, Rebel?

Actress Rebel Wilson says in her book Rebel Rising that Sacha Baron Cohen shamed her in the 2016 film Grimsby and that she felt “sexually harassed” by him. What she says happened to her is horrible but scary, it’s eight years later. Shouldn’t there be a statute of limitations on making claims so long after the event.
