King Charles Declares Harry and Meghan Non-Working Royals in Letter to U.K. Officials

Summary
A letter sent this week to senior U.K. government officials says Prince Harry, 41, and Meghan, 45, remain non-working royals despite their recent return to Britain.
Charles said the move was meant to avoid “doubt or confusion,” describing the couple’s position as akin to private citizens with commercial and charitable interests.
Sources close to the Sussexes rejected that framing, saying their public profile makes a normal private life “not realistic” and noting the couple were surprised not to get more warning before the letter became public.
Harry and Meghan stepped back from senior royal duties in 2020 and moved to California; they have now returned to the U.K. with Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, and are widely believed to be living in the Cotswolds.
