King Charles clarifies status of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

Following their return to the United Kingdom, King Charles III has formally clarified the status of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Through a letter sent by the Lord Chamberlain to government officials, the military, and local representatives, the monarch reaffirmed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex remain non-working members of the Royal Family.

The communication emphasizes that the couple's status adheres to the 2020 Sandringham agreement. Consequently, they are to be treated as private citizens with independent commercial and philanthropic interests. They are not permitted to use the 'His/Her Royal Highness' (HRH) style, and any charitable activities they undertake must be conducted in a private capacity rather than as official representatives of the Crown.

Reports indicate the family has settled in the Cotswolds region and has enrolled their children, Archie and Lilibet, in local private schools. The move has also reignited debates regarding their security arrangements and the use of taxpayer-funded protection. While Harry has reportedly sought reinstated police protection, the family has been utilizing private security since their arrival.
