As far as I can tell, Heather is still able to register for British citizenship, it might be a good idea to do it anyway just in case they decide to change the rules at some point, free access to the EU will always be handy.
If that Wikipedia article is correct, which of course they sometimes aren't, Heather doesn't have to register anything: she
is considered a citizen by Britain, unless she's specifically written to the British Home Secretary asking not to be.
Congratulations, Heather, you're a Brit. Have a cup of tea!
