Meghan Markle intends to become a British citizen after her marriage to Prince Harry in May next year, but she will need to pass a Life in the UK Test first.

The 45-minute test, introduced by the Home Office in 2005, features 24 questions about British traditions, customs, history and everyday life.

Applicants must score 75 per cent or more to pass the test and will receive a ‘pass notification letter’ if successful.

The Home Office advises those applying to become a British Citizen or for permanent residence to study an official handbook before taking the £50 test.

Prince Harry's communication's secretary Jason Knauf said Ms Markle, who has relocated to London from her home in Toronto, would be "compliant with immigration requirements at all times".

He added: "I can also say she intends to become a UK citizen and will go through the process of that, which some of you may know takes a number of years.

"She will retain her US citizenship through that process."
