Yes, correct. She is an American citizen, and she lives in Pocatello, Idaho, where Prince Philip works as a lumberjack. They use a double for her in London and when she travels abroad.

This may likely refer to the fact that HRH owns a large amount of American real estate and has American employees. She has Social Security responsibilities as an employer. Because of her special status as a foreign monarch It may have been necessary to amend the Social Security Code. The British section of this maybe the Crown acknowledgment of the alteration. However your quotation seems to be oddly constructed and is not cited properly, Where does it come from?

Most definitely, Her Majesty is neither a citizen nor a subject of the USA nor any other country though she is the Sovereign of several countries.
If what you cite were true, if anything it would demonstrate Her Sovereignty's over the USA.
OR it could refer to some British law concerning British subjects/citizens having access to the USA Social Security by some reciprocal agreement.

No, since she was not born in the America and citizenship was never granted to her by America either.

Yes, she lives in the watch pocket of my blue jeans and her favorite food is spam.

I have never heard of that. I doubt it's true. The US is the most powerful and independent nation on earth.

No, she was born in Britain and so is British.
