Home fees UK nationals and their family members living in the EEA

I would like confirmation that the following also applies to non-UK citizen children of UK citizens (i.e. parent is British but child who will be a student is not) who have continuously resided in the EU since before Brexit.

Rules for England are stated below:

For courses starting between 1 August 2021 and 1 January 2028, UK nationals and their family members living in the EEA or Switzerland will generally be eligible for home fee status and tuition fee and maintenance loans if they meet the following conditions
they have lived in the EEA, Switzerland, or the UK for at least the last three years;
they were living in the EEA or Switzerland on 31 December 2020;
they have lived continuously in the EEA, Switzerland, or the UK between 31 December 2020 and the start of their course.

Thank you Stephen, so to clarify, the student who has lived consistently in France since before 2020 would be eligible for 1) UK home fees for England and 2) potentially UK loans? Thank you very much.
