Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, remain non-working members of the royal family. This status continues upon their return to the United Kingdom.
A letter from King Charles III, conveyed by the Lord Chamberlain, confirms this. It states that the couple will refrain from using royal titles, consistent with their decision after stepping back from official duties in 2020. Their charity work will continue privately, and security decisions are to be handled by police agencies.
The letter was distributed to senior government and military officials, along with lord lieutenants, who represent the king nationwide. The aim is to clarify any doubts about the couple’s standing.
The release of this letter suggests concern within the palace about Harry and Meghan potentially forming a competing entity with working royals. Publicly funded police protection, previously canceled, remains a sensitive topic. The decision on restoring their security rests with the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (RAVEC), a government panel.
The Lord Chamberlain advised that specific queries about the couple, especially involving public funds, should be directed to Buckingham Palace.
