Tiana is NOT African; she is American: both her parents were American. Ethnically she is Black (or more properly: Negroid), what "politically correct" fans call "African-American". By marrying Prince Naveen, she automatically gains Maldonian Citizenship, while Naveen becomes eligible for US citizenship (his is not automatic).

As a legal point of interest, in the 1920's, US law did not permit dual citizenship; Tiana would have to renounce US citizenship in order to become a Maldonian citizen... HOWEVER, the statute lacks teeth; the US has no means of enforcing the law, especially as her Maldonian citizenship my marriage to the Ruling House grants her diplomatic immunity ipso facto.
