An American Queen of Sweden?

Postby Claeyt » Sun Jan 12, 2014 10:43 am

Well, it looks like the Queen of Sweden will be an American and it looks like her dad will be sure she's a Yankee fan.

I wonder if she'll even speak Swedish?

Isn't it bizarre in this day and age that the concept of Royalty still exists? Thank our founding fathers that we don't have to deal with that ***** anymore.

Well I'm fairly certain it's quite preposterous to be king of Sweden and not speak swedish.

Why would he (although apparently the kid's a girl). The American/Brit Dad doesn't speak it and so far he's even refused to become the next king because he'd have to become Swedish and he'd have to give up his American Citizenship to do that.

Double nationality?

Ameruca doesn't recognize dual citizenship. If your parent's country recognizes you by birth and you were born in the States you can have dual citizenship even though the U.S. won't recognize the other citizenship over your U.S. citizenship for legal purposes. You have to use your U.S. passport to travel into and out of the country, U.S. taxes, etc..

He'd lose it according to part 1 and part 4 to become King. Apparently he'd rather be American and work on Wall street for the Rothschilds investment bank than be the King of Sweden.

If you apply for and take citizenship from another country then you lose your American Citizenship. I've had to deal with this a lot after being born in Canada to Americans. As an example: Canada recognizes me as having both Canadian and U.S. Citizenship while the United States does not recognize my Canadian Citizenship. Citizenship law is sort of bizarre in the states compared to most of Europe.

1st time I've read your post in ages and yea america is a little jacked up with citizenship. Alot of guys i worked with lost their clearance and with that the job due to switching over to their wife's country. Seems like the mindset is that if you want to be anything other then full america you aren't a real american....which is true.
