The European Union is looking for the fast track to blueblood status.
Top Eurocrats, who rule the lands from their fabled crystal palace in Brussels, want immigrants moving to Britain to swear an oath of allegiance not to Her Majesty the Queen but to the fractious EU.
Traditionally anyone taking UK citizenship has to swear an oath to HRH Queen Elizabeth 11.
But under a new plan floated from Brussels, immigrants would have to take a solemn vow to the ambitious EU and its Charter of Fundamental Rights.
The EU oath is the brainchild of Europe's justice commissioner Franco Frattini, who insists it will help immigrants integrate.
But this one's not going over on furious British MEPs who warn that it's just a sneaky bid to oust the Queen as head of state.
Frattini boasts he is winning support for an EU-wide "oath of faithfulness" for all settlers.
Rather than the plan being unveiled in public, it slipped out as EU standards for handling illegal immigrants and failed asylum seekers were being examined.
With its usual unbridled ambition, the EU doesn't plan to stop with the new oath. The move is part of a masterplan to build up a single European identity with a shared flag, matching passports and a single currency.
Of his latest move, the commissioner announced: "Personally I am in favour of exploring the possibility of having every immigrant to somehow declare that they will respect national law, EU law and the Charter of Fundamental Rights."
Personally, there are some nations who toy with the idea of opting out of the EU and the EUs Charter of Fundamental Rights was part of the EU Constitution ditched by French and Dutch voters.
In spite of the snub, the EU continues to mirror the United Nations with its today-the-pond-tommorrow-the-world attitude.
When Frattinis' idea moved beyond the boundaries of EU headquarters, it was laughed off by MEPs, who filed it under `s' for "sick joke" and `l' for "loony".
Timothy Kirkhope, Tory leader in the European parliament, said: "I am amazed. "
"It worryingly shows the views of people who should know better."
Mike Nattrass, of the UK Independence Party, said: "an allegiance to something with no single culture, no agreed history, no common language and packed with fraud and corruption?"
Meanwhile, Eurocrats in Belgium should not begin drilling the masses in proper EU curtsies to their hierarchy anytime soon.
Queens and kings are born not made.
