No again; the previous poster is unfortunately a bit off the mark. (Warning: This gets a bit niche.) Diplomat children were exceptions to the very generous British citizenship laws before the 1983 reform as well. The whole issue is related to diplomatic status, privileges and immunity. Diplomats and their families are given residency permission once the Host Country grants accreditation, but that permission is tied to the diplomatic status, nothing else. The Host State can revoke that status on 48 hours notice, e.g. if the dip misbehaves, is caught being a spy, turns out to have fathered the Antichrist, or just because. (The famous “persona non grata” heave requires no explanation.)
Children of diplomats born abroad are usually permitted to reside with their parents. Again, this has nothing to do with citizenship or immigration rules. This is a matter of international comity (”we’re nice that way”), and under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations the kids even enjoy diplomatic privileges and immunities! (We should probably be grateful that Crowley wasn’t aware of that option.) Warlock’s Dad would have had to advise the FCO that there was a new addition to the US Embassy’s list of dependents. Residency permission for diplomatic dependents is always temporary, provides no other legal standing, and expires when the parent’s accreditation ends. If Ambassador Dowling had been killed at Megiddo, Warlock and his Mom would have had to pack up their kit and leave the UK (within a reasonable time).
