King Charles III has reaffirmed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are non-working members of the royal family, as they have been since stepping back from official duties in 2020. A letter from the Lord Chamberlain, the most senior official in the royal household, to government officials and military representatives, as well as local representatives, clarifies that the couple will continue to refrain from using their royal titles and will conduct any charity work in a private capacity.
The letter emphasizes that operational security decisions are the responsibility of the relevant police agencies. King Charles III instructed that this information be shared widely to prevent any confusion or the perception of a parallel royal court, as some palace observers worry about Harry and Meghan potentially competing with the working members of the royal family.
The decision about whether to restore the couple's police protection, which was canceled when they relinquished their royal roles, belongs to a government panel called RAVEC. Any questions regarding courtesies or the use of public funds should be directed to Buckingham Palace.
