King Charles-Approved Letter Says Harry and Meghan’s Royal Status Is Unchanged
LONDON, September 8 (Saudi Arabia Breaking News) — A letter authorized by King Charles has confirmed that Prince Harry and Meghan remain non-working members of the royal family following their recent return to Britain.
The guidance was sent on Monday to senior British government and military officials and shared with Harry’s team. It said that after the couple stepped down from official royal duties in 2020, they “are no longer working Members of The Royal Family”.
Harry and his family returned to Britain late last month, six years after leaving royal duties and moving to the United States.
“The position, distinct from the State and Royal duties undertaken by the working Royal Family, and with the personal latitude it brings the couple in respect of financial independence and protection of their privacy as they would wish, will continue to be fully respected,” the letter said.
“It follows that there is no change to the current status of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The charitable work of the Duke and Duchess is a personal matter for them both and undertaken in their private capacity. In short, their position is akin to private citizens with commercial and charitable interests.”
