Can't you refuse the title, even though you're married to royalty, to remain a US citizen?

It's not the title. The US does not recognize dual citizenship.

Re: She Who Must Be Obeyed
I had a friend in HS who had to choose at 18 between US and Polish/EU citizenship, because both of his parents are first-gen Polish immigrants and Poland is one of the EU countries that do not recognize dual citizenship. He obviously stuck with his natural-born US citizenship.
Germany currently only allows it with other EU countries, so your friend's dad must be grandfathered in.

Most likely. I think he's around 80-85 years old; I don't know the circumstances behind the duality.

Sorta. They don't recognize it officially, but they don't NOT recognize it. IMO, it's kind of like "English as the official language." It's not, but it kinda is.

Re: She Who Must Be Obeyed
I suppose, if you want to get into the semantics of "recognize" vs. "permit/allow". I thought you were intimating that the US does not allow dual citizens; my mistake.

I just meant they ignore it. It's not like if you accept British citizenship the US boots you.
There may be issues if it's an enemy nation, though.
One interesting thing on the SF86: they ask whether you are a US citizen; they do not ask if you are a citizen of any other nation, presumably because as far as the US is concerned the former makes the latter inoperative.

Re: She Who Must Be Obeyed
That is not true. German Jews lost their citizenship in November 1941. After WWII, I think in 1948, that law was repealed. Any of those people who became US citizens between those dates could not give up their previous citizenship since they were stateless. They could reclaim it after 1948. Also someone whose father lost their citizenship between those dates can claim it based upon their father. My father became a US citizen in 1939, so this does not apply to me. Had the current law which grants citizenship based upon either parent being German been in effect back then, I could get German citizenship because my mother became a US citizen in 1945. I know a lot of people of my generation or the generation younger than me who have taken advantage of this.
