Harry, Meghan remain private citizens, says King Charles

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left Britain for the US and stepped down from royal duties in 2020 amid tensions with the royal family, but have recently moved back.

Harry, Meghan remain private citizens, says King Charles

King Charles III has stated that his son Harry and Meghan Markle, formerly known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, are not considered working members of the royal family. The couple returned to Britain from the United States in November 2021 after resigning from their royal duties amid a family feud. In a letter, Charles made it clear that the couple's position is akin to that of private citizens, and they should not be addressed as His or Her Royal Highness.

The Royal Household provided guidance on the matter following Harry and Meghan's return to the UK, as numerous requests for clarity had been made. Despite their royal titles being stripped by Queen Elizabeth II when they left royal duties, Harry and Meghan have enrolled their children in private schools in the Cotswolds region for the upcoming academic year. Their charitable work remains a personal endeavor, carried out in their private capacity.
