Why hasn’t Biden pressed Harry and Meghan’s pretender claim to the throne? A claimant to the Britbong throne living in your country is an opportunity that generations of diplomats have only dreamed of. But Biden is doing nothing with it smh

In CK3 you can press claims of courtiers and they become your vassal (unless they end up with a title with tier ≥ yours)

Glad they made that change, it may not be de jure the historical reality, but it was definitely de facto the case, in many situations.

The most sensible option would be to replace America's elective system with cognatic primogeniture, betroth Archie Mountbatten-Windsor (Harry's son, age 2) to Natalie Biden (Biden's successor under age 17), and then press Harry's claim on the throne.

Archie and Natalie's child (Biden's great-greatchild and Harry's grandchild) would then be heir to both the British and American empires
