It's not about "loyalty to the crown" it's about whether you can be trusted to handle sensitive information, whether you are at risk of blackmail or other coercion, or subject to circumstances where you might be tempted to profit from the access you have.
Provided you are open and honest in the information you give then the chances are that unless you are heavily in debt, have a drug or gambling problem or a criminal past involving fraud or theft, you will be cleared. Lying on the application is generally what gets you refused clearance.
Despite what the frothing Brexiters might say, we do actually trust our European partners on security matters and having a partner or other family who hold dual nationality or may have changed nationalities for another European country is really neither here nor there. Brexit really won't change anything with regard to getting clearance. Nationality only really becomes an issue if it involves countries we don't trust like Russia, China and large parts of the Middle East.
SC, DV, etc, etc and must be declared - irrespective of whether their new
nationality is to one of our buddy, buddy allies or not.
As you say it might not make any difference to anyone's present or future SC - unlike those more serious ones, you listed above but it has to be declared nevertheless.Last edited by Tightfit; 20 September 2016, 13:57.Comment

I really am struggling to see what your point is about all this. Brexit is not going to affect anyones chances of getting clearance."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

Originally posted by Mordac View PostNot sure if this is relevant, but I am adopted, so I had a name change about 46 years ago. My dearly beloved just went through (the highest) clearance for her new role, and I had to track and trace my original birth certificate as part of the process. At great expense, I did obtain said item, but the handwriting was of such poor quality that I could have claimed to have been bleedin' anybody.

Originally posted by DaveB View PostYes you have to declare it, but it's not going to stop you getting or retaining clearance. Not declaring it would be seen as deception on the application and see it thrown out.
