Nope. You're born in the US, you are an American citizen. If his parents did not want him to be an American citizen and wanted him to be a British subject then they could have made that choice for him.

It's relatively easy to hide what level of pregnant you are from strangers.

Also, the births do not cost 30k to people who live here (if there are no complications). That can be the price that insurance is billed before the hospital and insurance negotiate a lower rate. The prices vary from hospital and from region. 2 years ago at a hospital in NYC a crotch birth was 2600 dollars, cash price. Just like Kate is giving birth in a private wing, hospitals may have VIP wings that charge a ton of money for a lot of amenities. There are at least two hospitals in Los Angeles that do this. Rich people pay, many celebrities, visiting sheiks, etc.
