Is the problem here that the daughter for some reason took a US passport when she was young? Surely if she had taken a British passport as soon as she was born then she is solely a British Citizen?

Or is it the case that being born in the USA requires you to take US Citizenship rather than just giving you the option to do so?

If I was this girl I would renounce the citizenship as soon as possible, and certainly before she hits the other big problem, which is US tax on all her income. Frankly I can't see why anyone living outside the US would choose to have US citizenship if they have almost any other option.
