Because she never gained British citizenship. Public was assured she wasn’t getting special treatment. She would be following same rules as everyone else. She never fulfilled the residency requirements or exam. Im not sure if she got indefinite leave to remain (basically a stamp they put in your passport). She would be stateless if she had given up us citizenship. Plus every uk news outlet reported on this aspect when Mexit happened. Pointed out they would have to pay tax in 3 places us canada and uk.
Gives all the rules of what she would have to do to get citizenship.
In one way, an exception has been granted to her. Only uk citizens are given titles. She should not have had Sussex title until she had uk citizenship. Not that it’s hers. It’s harrys.
Definitely agree. I’m waiting to see Trump say no secret service for you. Pay for it yourself. Wondering how long Charlie is going to keep footing the bill. Can’t see the marriage lasting long. Hadn’t thought of implications of a Cali divorce.
How do we know she never did that?

Thank you. Makes for good reading. I somehow missed most of that Mexit stuff (probably rallying ;-).
So I guess she travels under "sparkle" Markle name now.
I guess Harry hasn't read about King Edward's fun times with Wallis. And they gave her five years?
I say again--the disney docudrama is a don't.
