We have friends here in DC- he is a French diplomat and she is an American citizen (they met in college, before he took the embassy job). They have a couple of kids- I assume that they qualify as natural-born citizens, since I don’t think they get diplomatic immunity. Interesting question- I’m going to ask them if they know the kids’ status next time we see them.

That should be the case. They may be (probably are) dual citizens of France and the US, depending on whether French law allows it. They might be forced to renounce their US citizenship or lose their French citizenship when they reach their majority.

Did you ever get a chance to ask your friends about their kids' citizenship status?
