This was communicated in a letter sent by the Lord Chamberlain to government and military officials, emphasizing that any charity work by the couple will be private. The letter also addresses security concerns, noting that decisions about their protection are up to a government panel. This public clarification aims to prevent confusion about Harry and Meghan’s roles and ensure they don’t appear to compete with active royals. The issue of their security is sensitive, as Harry has been seeking the return of police protection, which was removed when they stepped back from royal duties.
