  "account": "Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may pursue legal action against King Charles for describing them as \"private citizens\" in a letter, according to RadarOnline.com. The couple is unhappy with the wording, believing it inaccurately portrays their status as internationally recognized public figures. The letter, authorized by King Charles 77, reaffirmed their withdrawal from royal duties in 2020 and stated that Harry and Meghan are \"non-working royals\" with commercial and charitable interests. However, sources close to the Sussexes claim that the description could have wider implications, potentially misleading government departments and official organizations about their status as public figures. The couple is now considering whether to challenge or clarify the language, either through legal means or a public statement. They were reportedly given only an hour's notice before the letter's content was made public, and a spokesperson for Harry and Meghan expressed surprise at the lack of advance warning.",
  "summary": "The couple has reportedly objected to language used in a letter authorised by King Charles, 77, which reaffirmed the arrangements surrounding their withdrawal from royal duties in 2020.",
