The Duchess of Sussex has revealed she found the British citizenship test “so hard” and even the Duke of Sussex had “no idea” of some of the answers. The American-born actress spoke about studying for the Life in the UK test on the latest episode of her Archetypes podcast.
Meghan said she turned to Harry for help while practising for the official government quiz, but the British-born duke – who is fifth in line to the throne – was also stuck on the questions. When Meghan’s engagement to Harry was confirmed in 2017, Buckingham Palace announced that the former Suits star would become a British citizen. But the Sussexes quit the working monarchy in 2020 and moved to the US, amid reports Meghan had abandoned the process of seeking citizenship.
Chatting to actress and director Pamela Adlon, who recently became a British citizen, Meghan said: “That citizenship exam is so hard. I was studying for it and I remember going ‘Oh my goodness’. I would ask my husband ‘Did you know this? Did you know this?’ and he would be ‘I had no idea’.”
