Meghan Markle and Harry ‘want royal baby to be global citizen with US passport’

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry want Baby Sussex to be a 'global citizen' who could spend three to four months a year living abroad, it is claimed.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex could also apply for US citizenship for their son and make frequent visits to the country of Meghan's birth.

As the new mum was born and grew up in Los Angeles, her son can become a US citizen if his parents contact the US embassy in London.

It was previously reported how the couple are looking into the possibility of working in Africa for long periods, as well as other parts of the world.

Suggestions the move could be semi-permanent have been quashed but it has been claimed time abroad could amount to several months a year.

That would be enough for the couple to "immerse" themselves in the issues faced by local communities, reports suggest.

But the time abroad would also include visits to the US, where Meghan's mum, Doria, lives in Los Angeles; and hese visits would be easier with a US passport for the child.

An insider told the Daily Mail : "Their royal highnesses both have enormous respect for the institution of the monarchy and this country, and want their family to have an outward looking approach.

"It's about their children being aware of and understanding the wider world and their place in it.

"They want them to take an active interest in the global community, working towards a fairer society and more sustainable way of living."

They added: "The Commonwealth, that family of 53 nations of which the Queen is so rightly proud, is a perfect example of how globalism can work."

Meghan has already announced her intention to apply for British citizenship once she has met the criteria of spending at least five years living in the UK.

However, it is not known if she will keep her American citizenship.

If Baby Sussex becomes a US citizen, he will be liable for US taxes.
