I received a text yesterday from one of my students and he advised me that it turns out that Prince Harry of Britain will be marrying his American girlfriend, Meghan Markle. A local television station, KTLA, he said, commented about how it would be the first time the American children of a potential King of England could be President of the United States. He then wrote, "I thought that's not true, because even Doug's kids can't be President since their mom was not a citizen at the time of the birth of the children."
Correct.
I explained to my friend that first of all, if one of Charles' sons were to become King of England, the heir is Prince William. Second of all, American Citizenship is not enough to be President of the United States. To be the Commander in Chief one must be a "Natural Born Citizen," which requires, at the time of the birth of the child in question, both parents must be American Citizens.
The couple met in July 2016 in London, introduced by mutual friends.
