Are children born to Brits in Europe now required to have a UK passport?

"Despite admitting that "there isn't a specific legal requirement for British citizens to travel on a British passport", the new system essentially leaves British dual nationals with only two choices; obtain a British passport (or Certificate of Entitlement) or use their other passport and get and ETA, but give false information when filling out the ETA form (which does not allow users to list British as a second nationality)."

"The British government has warned Britons heading to the UK after February 25th, that if they don't have a valid British passport or an expensive Certificate of Entitlement they face extra checks and may even be refused boarding or turned back at the border. The often conflicting and ever-changing information sent out by the British government has lead to much frustration among British dual nationals around the world."

Children born abroad to at least one British parent are often automatically British, but recent UK travel-rule changes may require them to hold a UK passport to travel. The UK now requires almost all travellers to obtain an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) online before travel, with a fee of £16 rising to £19. British and Irish passport holders are exempt, while long-stay visa or settled-status holders should show their visa or proof of residency. Dual nationals face a dilemma: obtain a British passport or Certificate of Entitlement, or use another passport with an ETA (which cannot list British nationality), risking extra checks, boarding refusal, or return at the border.
