Can I get dual citizenship in the uk ontop of my us citizenship?
I was wondering if I could go through the Ancestry option. My grandfather was born in Scotland and grandmother in England they gained us citizenship and moved to California. I am aware that because I was not born in A commonwealth it “technically” says I’m not eligible however I have A sponsor in Scotland and England (many aunts, uncles, cousins, etc) I don’t know if that changes anything I’m really interested in getting dual citizenship or even relinquishing my U.S. citizenship for citizenship in the UK frankly I’m tired of living in the US. Or possibly is there an option to enlist in the United Kingdom’s Armed Forces for A given amount of time and gain citizenship after I get discharged?
No, you cannot acquire British citizenship through a grandparent, only a parent & the parent must have been born in the UK
You wouldn’t be eligible to join the British Army, you must be either a British or Irish citizen, or a citizen of a Commonwealth country who can fulfil the residency requirement in the UK

Multiple Citizenship $89.22 Multiple citizenship is a status in which a person is concurrently regarded as a citizen under the laws of more than one state. Multiple citizenships exist because different countries use different, and not necessarily mutually exclusive, citizenship requirements. Colloquial speech refers to people holding multiple citizenship but technically each nation is making a claim that this person be considered its national. For this reason it is possible that a person be a citizen of one, none or many countries. Individual countries follow their own individual rationales in establishing their criteria for citizenship. Some countries bestow citizenship automatically at birth to persons with a parent who is one of their nationals jus sanguinis, or to persons born on their territory jus soli, or through marriage to persons wedding their nationals jure matrimonii. Other nations such as Australia allow the grant of citizenship to be made to the children of citizens under certain circumstances. In addition, citizenship can be granted through naturalization. Once citizenship is bestowed, the bestowing country may or may not consider a voluntary renunciation of citizenship to be valid.
