I just helped a friend fill out an application for a dual nationality passport (he was born in America but moved here on his mother's passport when age 7- he is now 34), he is eligable for a dual passport, but after all the very lengthy forms have been processed, and all the fees paid, he has to attend the Town Hall to swear allegiance to the Queen, and if he doesn't, and within a month of recieving the form, the application will fail.

I object to this practice, allegiance to the Queen does not a British National make.
