Ms Katie Melua is now a British citizen after pledging her allegiance to the lovely Queen. The chart topping warbler was born in the Soviet republic of Georgia, but moved to Belfast aged 8, and then to Redhill, Surrey five years later. She acquired official British citizenship at a ceremony last week, telling passers by: "We still consider ourselves to be Georgian, because that is where our roots are, and I return to Georgia every year to see my uncles and grandparents, but I am proud to now be a British citizen."
