Harry and Meghan given an hour’s notice of King’s letter
The palace said the couple remain nonworking royals and private citizens after their return to the U.K., despite their surprise at the public notice.
- On Monday, King Charles III instructed the Lord Chamberlain to notify government and military stakeholders that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex remain non-working royals under the 2020 Sandringham agreement, reaffirming their status as "private citizens."
- The Palace issued this guidance to resolve "the high level of confusion and uncertainty" created by the couple's return to the U.K. after providing the King with fewer than two weeks' notice, according to Daily Mail editor Richard Kay.
- A spokesperson for the Sussexes stated they "were a little surprised not to have been told about this in advance," though reports indicate their team received notice approximately one hour before the 3:06 p.m. media release on Monday.
- The correspondence surfaced before a meeting of the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures, which decides on security matters; the Sussexes prefer the designation "public figures" over "private citizens."
- Commentator Tom Sykes noted the complaint mirrors their history of acting without consulting the Royal Family, arguing the intervention clarifies the pair does not represent the Crown despite their current public activities.
