The King’s senior household official issues new guidance indicating that Prince Harry and Meghan remain non-working royals after their return to Britain. The guidance is circulated internally to senior stakeholders who work with the monarchy.

According to the report, the Lord Chamberlain sends a letter to relevant parties across government departments, the military, and the offices of Lord Lieutenancies. This reinforces existing arrangements regarding what constitutes “working” royal activity and how institutions should treat the pair’s official roles.

The available coverage is limited to the fact of the guidance letter and its recipients. It does not provide detailed contents of the letter or any new changes to Harry and Meghan’s duties, nor does it include responses from Buckingham Palace, the couple, or other government agencies.
