Noble immigration to the United States
Among the many immigrants who arrive in the United States are some who bear hereditary titles. Immigration of titled persons has drawn tremendous controversy at times because it conflicts with the revolutionary spirit of the United States.
The long-pending Titles of Nobility Amendment was specifically proposed to prevent or discourage the immigration of the Bonapartes to Maryland.[1] The incorporation of holders of titles of the British Imperial and French Imperial systems into American society is the more generally intended target, which would otherwise be as acceptable as the large volume of common British- and French- immigration.[1] But as proposed the Amendment would prevent or discourage the phenomenon as a whole, no matter the country or system.[1]
Well known immigrants[edit]
The British Army stationed Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex in Southern California for training with US helicopter forces.[2] Later, he and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex purchased and moved to the Chateau of Riven Rock in Montecito, also in Southern California in 2020.[3]
Several members of Saudi royalty have been heavily associated with the US beyond governmental or diplomatic duties, including large real estate purchases and long-term residence.[4] Prince Bandar bin Sultan Al Saud was Ambassador from 1983 to 2005 and during that time was more influential with the country's Administrations than most Ambassadors are,[4] and continued to shape American foreign policy such that his successor resigned after only 18 months.[5] He is also a well known Dallas Cowboys fan, buying a seat next to the owner, his friend Jerry Jones.[4] Bandar normally attends every home game and his absence from one was scandalous.[4]
Diane von Furstenberg immigrated from France in her 20s and permanently settled in an estate in Connecticut called Cloudwalk.[6]
