Default Dual citizen - rules on which passport to use when entering a Country?

I took and passed my Citizenship test last week, so just the oath ceremony to go before I apply for my US passport.

As a dual citizen, are there any rules that forbid me from entering the UK on my British passport and then returning to US using my US passport?

That’s what most of us do. The only restriction is that you must use your US PP to leave and enter the US. You can use either to enter the UK.

One of my brothers-in-law is a dual national (US born & UK naturalized). He travels on US passport but presents both passports on entry to UK.
