Prince Harry Says He Has No Plans for U.S. Citizenship in Hasan Minhaj Podcast

The appearance spotlighted his push for tighter guardrails on kids’ online platforms, including AI risks.

Overview

  • Asked directly if he will seek American citizenship, Harry answered, “There are no plans to be, at this point.”
  • Harry criticized social media companies for “farming” children’s minds, said incentives keep kids online, and warned that unregulated AI could cause harm.
  • He said he and Meghan plan to be cautious about phones and social media for Archie and Lilibet, floated basic phones for contact, and called age 21 a sensible threshold that platforms would likely lobby against.
  • Context around citizenship includes U.S. policy requiring naturalization applicants with hereditary titles to publicly renounce those titles.
  • The episode mixed jokes and advocacy, with Harry attempting an American accent, shouting “yeehaw,” talking surfing and TK Maxx, and drawing commentary from a body-language analyst who said he sometimes appeared uncomfortable under teasing.
