King Charles III confirms that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will remain “non-working royals” in the United Kingdom. The announcement follows the couple’s return to the U.K. after living in California for about six years.
The outlets frame the decision as a continuation of the arrangement in place after Harry and Meghan stepped back from senior royal duties. ABC News and Yahoo News both report that the confirmation preserves their status outside day-to-day official responsibilities, meaning they are not expected to resume full public roles on behalf of the monarchy. Details about what specific activities they may undertake, if any, are not emphasized in the provided reporting.
Overall, both sources present the development as a formal acknowledgment by the King of the couple’s continuing reduced role while they are in the U.K., with their long period of residence abroad forming part of the context. The reports do not suggest a reversal of their core status as non-working royals.
