  "summary": "King Charles III has confirmed that his son Prince Harry and Harry's wife Meghan remain private citizens and are not considered working members of the royal family, despite their recent return to the UK. According to a letter sent on behalf of the King, the couple will not be carrying out official royal duties and should not be addressed as His and Her Royal Highness.\n\nThe letter, issued by the Lord Chamberlain, the most senior official in the Royal Household, aims to clarify the couple's status and avoid confusion. It emphasizes that Prince Harry and Meghan stepped down from undertaking representative duties on behalf of the sovereign in January 2020 and are no longer working members of the royal family.\n\nThe couple, who moved back to the UK from California with their children Archie and Lilibet, will not be able to use their \"HRH\" titles and will be engaging in any activities in a private capacity, not representing the Royal Family. MyJoyOnline Ghana reports that the letter was sent to Prince Harry's team, government departments, military officials, and Lord Lieutenants.",
