King Charles says Prince Harry and Meghan remain private citizens in the United Kingdom, according to a letter cited by multiple outlets. The statement is made in response to their return to the UK, and it reiterates that their current status does not change.
The letter references that Harry and Meghan stepped down as senior working members of the royal family in January 2020. It states that the arrangement regarding their representative roles on behalf of the Sovereign “will continue to be fully respected.” NDTV adds that they have not returned to the working royal family since stepping away, pointing to the same timeline and responsibilities.
While both sources focus on the same message—confirming their private-citizen status and noting they left representative duties in 2020—the outlets differ mainly in emphasis. CBS News highlights that their position will continue to be respected, whereas NDTV stresses that they have not resumed working royal duties after their return to the UK.
