King Charles III stated on Monday that his son Harry and the prince’s wife Meghan are not “working members of the royal family” after returning to Britain from the United States. In 2020, the pair left Britain and resigned from their duties because of a conflict within the royal family.
However, in an unexpected move this month, Harry, 41, and Meghan, 45, returned to live in the UK with their two young children, Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five. In the letter, Charles emphasises that the couple’s status is “akin to private citizens” and that they should not be addressed as “his and her royal highness.”
So-called “working royals” are members of the royal family who do formal activities on behalf of the monarch. They receive administrative and other assistance from the Royal Household to do so. According to a letter from the Lord Chamberlain, the most senior official in the Royal Household, there have been “a number of requests for guidance” since the couple’s relocation.
The letter was issued “to help prevent doubt or confusion.” It is widely known that in January 2020, the Duke and Duchess stood down from performing representational responsibilities on behalf of the sovereign and are no longer working members of the royal family,” the statement read.
