It’s thanks to my Granny’s perseverance and fighting power that my Mummy & I are British.
When Mummy was born only men could pass on the British citizenship. But Granny wrote to Margaret Thatcher – British Prime Minister at the time, to explain how much this was unfair and chauvinist.
A few months after sending her letter, Granny received a call from the British ambassador in Buenos Aires.
The ambassador told her that my Mummy’s and my Auntie Emma’s citizenship had been granted and that their passports were ready – and most important that it was very unusual and exceptional as it came directly from Home Office.

It’s only 27 years later, that Granny & Mummy understood the full extent of this event.

It has not only allowed Mummy to become British, but it has also guaranteed my citizenship too.

THANK YOU SO MUCH GRANNY !
