Prince Harry on Hasan Minhaj Doesn't Know

On Oct. 29, the Duke of Sussex, 41, shared his stance during a surprise appearance on the Hasan Minhaj Doesn’t Know podcast, when host Hasan Minhaj asked during the “Royal Rapid Fire” segment.

“Are you going to become a U.S. citizen?” Minhaj asked during the quick question-and-answer session.

“Am I going to become a U.S. citizen? There are no plans to be, at this point,” Prince Harry replied.

Harry was born in London as a member of the British royal family and moved to the U.S. with his wife, Meghan Markle, after they stepped back from their royal roles in 2020.

The couple settled in California, where Meghan is from, and are raising their children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4, there.

Last year, Prince Harry said he had “considered” becoming a U.S. citizen, but it wasn’t a “high priority.”

King Charles’ son made the revelation in a February 2024 interview with Good Morning America, when Will Reeve asked if he was enjoying living in the U.S.

“It’s amazing. I love every single day,” Prince Harry said then.

Reeve then asked if Harry felt “American,” to which he laughed and replied, “Do I feel American? Um, no. I don’t know how I feel.”

“Would you think about becoming a citizen?” asked the anchor, and Harry answered, “Whew! I have considered it, yeah.”

When Reeve pressed about what would deter him from making that move, the Duke of Sussex said, “I have no idea. I’m here standing next to this with these guys and the American citizenship is a thought that has crossed my mind but certainly not something that is a high priority for me right now,” he explained, referencing the Invictus Games Winter Training Camp they were at in Canada.

Prince Harry shared a little more about his American life on the Hasan Minhaj Doesn’t Know podcast, revealing that his “most American” habit is surfing. However, he doesn’t drink Coors Light or wear shorts in restaurants!

Minhaj also challenged Harry to attempt an American accent, and the Duke of Sussex had a laugh about attempting to say, “I ordered breadsticks with ranch dressing at Applebee’s.”

Prince Harry and Meghan, 44, have introduced their children to lots of American traditions, from visiting Disneyland to picking pumpkins before Halloween.

After the couple announced their engagement in November 2017, PEOPLE confirmed that Meghan planned to become a U.K. citizen after their royal wedding.

Although she didn’t complete the intense process, the Duchess of Sussex spoke about the difficulty of the U.K.’s citizenship exam on her Archetypes podcast in 2022.

“That citizenship exam is so hard! I was studying for it, and I remember going, ‘Oh my goodness.’ I would ask my husband, ‘Did you know this? Did you know this?’ And people went, ‘Oh, I had no idea,’ ” Meghan said then.
