King Charles III has reaffirmed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will continue to be non-working royals despite their recent return to the United Kingdom. The clarification came through a formal letter issued by Lord Chamberlain, the senior officer overseeing royal duties. The letter was sent to the media and reiterated that the Sussexes are not expected to carry out official royal responsibilities.
The couple made a surprise return to the UK earlier this month, prompting speculation about their future involvement with the monarchy. A spokesperson for the Sussexes expressed surprise at not being informed of the letter in advance. Royal experts have interpreted the message as a clear warning to the couple not to overshadow the royal family.
The letter also addressed the use of titles, stating that Harry and Meghan will not be addressed as "his or her highness." This decision aligns with the couple's long-standing preference for a more private lifestyle. Meanwhile, Prince William and Kate's son, Prince George, began his first day of high school at Eaton, the same school attended by Harry and his father.
