Harry, Meghan surprised by King Charles’ letter on their status

A letter authorised by King Charles made it clear that Prince Harry and his wife Meghan were no longer working members of the royal family and would remain private citizens.

Harry, Meghan surprised by King Charles’ letter on their status

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and their children have returned to live in Britain, surprising even close family members. The King initially learned of their decision only days before the news became public. In a letter authorized by King Charles, it was confirmed that the couple would no longer be working members of the royal family.

This status, originally agreed upon with the late Queen Elizabeth in 2020, grants them personal latitude in terms of financial independence and privacy. The royal couple's charitable work is a personal matter and is carried out in their private capacity, with no change to their current status. The Duke and Duchess continue to make headlines, with Harry accusing the royals of neglect and Meghan launching a lifestyle brand called As Ever.
