Actually, I am not sure whether it is possible to renounce UK citizenship.
One can renounce one's UK citizenship, however it's not easy. For example, back in the late 18th century it took a Declaration of Independence, a long war, and a peace treaty signed in Paris.
Always lots of tourists around Buckingham Palace. The changing of the Guard is a big attraction but I think a lot of tourists hope to see a Royal suddenly appear. They should check if the flag is flying above the palace. No flag, no Royal in residence at that time. Flag flying, Royal in residence

You do not lose your UK citizenship if you become a US citizen.
certainly my impression last in London, vast majority of tourists in and around anything royal were from the US
How can you tell by looking at some one if they're from the US?
I've been in that area many times, there are people from all over the world.
I can't look at someone and tell if they're from the US.
I can't even tell by looking if they're from the UK.
Also UK isn't a top destination for US travelers.
But I will admit our media is obsessed with the Royal Family.
Now the Queen has gone most people in the US don't even think about them. She was a beloved figure in many parts of the US.
But of course people going to London are going to see the sights the city is most famous for, many of them connected to royalty.

I have a sister in law who is from England. She gave up her UK citizenship when she was naturalized. She later got it back and now has dual citizenship.

I didnt know there was any process to go through to get UK citizenship back.
I do know that as a British citizen they have first claim on you even if you took US citizenship. An example would be a call up for service in the British Armed Forces. If you were in the UK at the time you would be drafted and US Consular officials by international law unable to assist you.
Perhaps I'm not understanding all the details, but I don't know what the big news is here. The U.S. has been his primary residence already for a number of years so all this does is formalize this fact. As a resident of the U.S., he can live here indefinitely unless he's convicted of a serious crime.
None of this means he is giving up his U.K. citizenship, nor will he have dual citizenship with this. He's just a legal U.S. resident unless at a later time wants to apply for citizenship. Residency and citizenship are of course two different things. This has no effect on his British citizenship and as only a resident he cannot apply for a U.S. passport.
