King Charles III has confirmed that Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, remain non-working members of the royal family. A letter from the king, sent to senior government and military officials, states that the couple will not use their royal titles and will conduct any charity work privately. This communication aims to prevent confusion about their status and addresses concerns that they might form a competing royal presence. The letter also touches on the sensitive issue of security, as Harry has been seeking the restoration of publicly funded police protection, which was removed when they stepped back from royal duties. Decisions about their security are handled by a government panel. The letter advises that any questions about the couple’s status or public funding should be directed to Buckingham Palace.
