  "summary": "Prince Harry and his wife Meghan have returned to the UK, but their status within the royal family remains unclear. According to The Citizen, the couple left Britain and stepped back from royal duties in 2020 amid a royal family feud, but have now moved back to live in the United Kingdom with their two young children, Archie and Lilibet.\n\nIn response to their return, King Charles III has clarified that Harry and Meghan are no longer considered \"working members of the royal family\". A letter issued by the Lord Chamberlain, the most senior official in the Royal Household, stated that the couple's position is \"akin to private citizens\" and that they should not be addressed as His and Her Royal Highnesses.\n\nThe couple's return to the UK has also caused a stir with Prince William, with the Toronto Sun reporting that the brothers haven't been on speaking terms in years and last saw each other at the funeral of their uncle Lord Robert Fellowes in August 2024. The brothers' relationship was described as having left Prince William and Kate \"blindsided\" by Harry and Meghan's U.K. return. Uganda has also withdrawn from the Invictus Games, a sports event for wounded military veterans run by Prince Harry, citing a desire not to be seen as opposed to King Charles III, according to BBC News.",
