  "account": "Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have decided to remain as non-working royals within the United Kingdom, according to a letter from King Charles III. The couple, previously the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, will continue to maintain their private status while residing in the UK with their two children, Archie and Lilibet. The Royal Household confirmed that the couple will have financial independence and privacy, and their charitable activities will be conducted in their personal capacity. The decision marks the first public comment from the palace regarding the couple's return to the UK, which follows their decision to step down from their senior royal roles in 2020. Harry and Meghan, who have been living in California since then, reportedly arrived in the UK on August 26 and plan to stay for an extended period, with their children attending school there.",
