"I have considered becoming a citizen. It's a thought that has crossed my mind.
"But it is not an immediate priority."

Prince Harry's bombshell interviews
PRINCE Harry's Good Morning America interview is his latest bombshell appearance on TV.
Here's a full list of all the other interviews Harry has done since Megxit:
March 2021 - Oprah Winfrey
Harry and Meghan's bombshell Oprah interview left viewers gobsmacked.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex confirmed no subject was "off limits"; during the explosive chat.
The interview unlocked a host of jaw-dropping remarks, racking up over 6,000 complaints from British viewers and even prompting a response from the Queen.
Meghan sent shockwaves through the Royal Family when she told Oprah that Archie wasn't made a prince after "concerns and conversations" about "how dark" his skin would be when he was born.
The Duchess said there had been conversations with Prince Harry and a "family" member about their unborn son and what colour his skin would be - and "what that would mean or look like".
Meghan said: "In those months when I was pregnant, all around the same time: we have in tandem he won’t be given security, a title and also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born."
Oprah was left stunned and replied: "What? There is a conversation…hold on. Hold up. Hold up. Stop right now."
She went on: "About how dark your baby is going to be?"
Meghan replied: "Potentially, and what that would mean or look like."
Meghan was pregnant with daughter Lilibet when she spoke with Oprah, announcing during the chat that she and Harry would be having a baby girl.
She left jaws dropping after addressing her and Kate's bridesmaid dress row after telling Oprah Kate made HER cry in the lead up to her wedding.
Meg told Oprah it had been difficult to see a "narrative that didn't happen" surface after it was reported she left Kate in tears over her demands for Princess Charlotte's bridesmaid dress.
She instead told the chat show Queen: "The reverse happened.
"A few days before the wedding she was upset about something, pertaining to... the flower girl dresses, and it made me cry. And it really hurt my feelings.
"There wasn't a confrontation and I don't think it's fair to her to get into the details of that because she apologised, and I have forgiven her.
"What was hard to get over was being blamed for something that not only I didn't do, but that happened to me."
To this day, it remains unclear what caused all the tears.
Prince Harry famously told Oprah his dad stopped taking his calls after quitting royal life and said he was "cut off" financially by the Royal Family.
He told how he "didn't have a plan" after the bombshell move and the idea to collaborate with brands like Spotify and Netflix were only suggested to him later.
He told Oprah: "We didn't have a plan.
"[Signing lucrative deals] was suggested by somebody else by the point of where my family literally cut me off financially, and I had to afford security for us."
Prince Charles' annual review, however, revealed Charles had in actual fact given his both his sons a share of £4.5million after Megxit.
May 2021 - Dax Shepard
Harry swore as he asked podcast host Dax Shepard about what it was like to take a “s***load” of drugs.
During the Armchair Expert podcast, Shepard spoke candidly about his drug use in the past and was quizzed by the Duke of Sussex about his path to sobriety.
Harry also revealed he feels "more free" since his move to LA, where he lives with Meghan Markle and son Archie.
He told the podcast: “Living here now I can actually lift my head and actually I feel different, my shoulders have dropped, so has hers, you can walk around feeling a little bit more free.
“I can take Archie on the back of my bicycle. I never had the chance to do that.”
January 2023 - Tom Bradby
The Duke of Sussex sat down with the ITV journalist ahead of the release of his tell-all memoir Spare.
Bradby asked Harry about his bombshell claim that he and William once got into a physical fight over Meghan.

He also hit back at claims that he launched a scathing attack on Queen Consort Camilla when they were introduced.
