How many British people have received Nobel Prizes?

It's tricky to give an exact number for how many British people have received Nobel Prizes because nationality is a complex issue. Here's why:

* Dual Citizenship: Many Nobel Prize winners hold dual citizenship, including British citizenship.

* Birthplace vs. Residency: Some consider where someone was born, while others prioritize where they lived and did their research.

* Changes in Nationality: Some individuals may have changed their nationality over their lifetime.

However, we can give you some useful information:

* The Nobel Foundation: The Nobel Foundation doesn't categorize winners by nationality. They focus on the country of the awarding institution.

* Rough Estimates: Based on various sources, it is estimated that around 130 people with British citizenship have received Nobel Prizes, across all categories.

To get a more specific answer, you would need to define your criteria for what constitutes a "British" Nobel laureate.

If you are interested in specific fields or time periods, you can find more information on the Nobel Prize website.
