Bangs Garcia: “I've just pledged allegiance to King Charles III and the United Kingdom”

Valerie Garcia or more popularly known as Bangs Garcia has just announced that she is now a British citizen.

The actress confirmed the good news on Instagram yesterday, July 18, and Bangs noted that she needed some time to process her citizenship, but now she just pledged allegiance to the king.

Bangs said, “A year late, but I'm glad I finally had time to sort out my citizenship this year. I've just pledged allegiance to King Charles III and the United Kingdom earlier. Therefore, I'm officially a British citizen today.”
