Article is correct.

I suspect when it all settles down, Megyn will have to renounce her American Citizenship just to avoid being overtaxed. A lot of Americans will say they don’t like or understand how someone could ever do that, but I do.

She will be financially secure for the rest of her life, even if the marriage doesn’t last that long. She may as well try to keep most of it. This is a common concern and dilemma of Americans living abroad.

All of the inbred monarchy articles and focus is unAmerican. Yes, let the IRS tax them, all their many billions of dollars. Go for it.

Her husband’s grandmother is the richest person on the planet with estimates going up to $30 trillion dollars, so I doubt that she’ll be on the roadside begging anytime soon.

She’ll renounce her citizenship. End of story

The Royals will likely be granted “an exception”.

I remember years ago, Rush stating that in IRS legislation, there are names of specific wealthy people who have their names written into the law that they are exempted. At the time, I was amazed at hearing this but now wouldn’t doubt it.

Maybe this is why Harry is marrying Ms. Meghan.

Definitely won't be able to use the tired, if true line about the Royalty being "inbred"

Ms Meghan's ancestry of deep, rich dark blood will enrich the thin, sickly pale blue-bloods of the Windsors.

Really renouncing her tax slave to the IRS status....

[P.O.E.]

It gets even more complicated if she has a railroad pension.

[tiki]

She has to renounce her US citizenship.

[RedMonqey]

Megyn will have to renounce her American Citizenship just to avoid being overtaxed.

I'm sure Ms Meghan won't mind being "overtaxed" I'm sure she will see that all the added taxes are beneficial and that it will ultimately go to all the new liberal programs her SJM marriage will inspire both governments to pass in honor of our countries "special relationship" made even more "special"

Am I right? Am I?

Haloooooo!

Anyone? Anyone?

Except for one thing: we’re talking about a government agency that has transformed itself from following the legal concept of equality under the law to the tradition of some are more equal than others.

At least she won’t be abusing the Earned Income Credit.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Repeal of FATCA should be a top Administration priority. That it is not indicates that the GOP as a whole has been infiltrated by statists who are dead set on keeping American citizens as tax slaves. Rand Paul is the only member I have heard even bring up the importance of reforming this ghastly Obama-era overreach.

[gundog]

Wanna piss off a liberal? Tell ‘em that John Lennon was a tax refugee from Britain.

[Jamestown1630]

I would have thought that a woman marrying into the royal family of a different country would take the citizenship of that country anyway...

[lightman]

Incredible....we started a war with George III over the Stamp Act and Townsend Act only to create an even more tangled trap of taxation.

John Adams and Patrick Henry should disown us.

[GreenLanternCorps]

Per the article she can appply for UK citizenship in three years.

[Dalberg-Acton]

Maybe she could slip through the Al Sharpton loophole, just don’t pay.
