Harry and Meghan ‘surprised’ by king’s letter making clear they’re still nonworking royals
NBC News ^ | September 9, 2026 | Jean-Nicholas Fievet

Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, were “surprised” by a letter sent on behalf of King Charles III that confirmed they remain nonworking members of the royal family after their return to Britain, a spokesperson for the couple told NBC News on Tuesday.

Buckingham Palace released the letter Monday, reiterating that Harry and Meghan remained nonworking royals as they have since they stepped down from royal duties in January 2020.

A palace source said the letter was issued to clarify the unchanged position of the couple for the British government and military amid questions over whether the public should fund their security.

It was put into the public domain because it likely would have leaked anyway and the palace wanted to avoid claims of secrecy around what it contained, the source said.

But a spokesman for Harry and Meghan told NBC News that they were “surprised” by the letter and were not given an opportunity to contribute to its contents.

The contents of the letter were shared with the couple’s staff a few hours before it was released, according to a spokesperson for the Sussexes. A Buckingham Palace source confirmed to NBC News that the letter had been shared with Harry’s team Monday.

I have no use for any of the three involved here.

I didn’t have to gave a damn as of July 4, 1776. The actions of these three are just more support for the brilliance of that event.

Why would they 'contribute'??? They're not part of the Royal family firm. Harry was born royal but he decided that he didn't want to be a 'royal', so now he isn't... And he's complaining that he isn't being consulted on matters of royalty... That's a laugh and half. What a fool.

Who do Harry and Meghan think they are: the king and queen of England? I should add that the yacht girl had come pretty far-but she blew it.

Markle, the awkward social climber. The pair have become an international embarrassment, a cautionary tale, very amusing though.

Harry and Meghan are what happensnwhen a pair of Psychopaths lose. Bill and Hillary are another example who haven’t ended their scam.

Not unrealistic. Have you seen the jokers we elect to the Senate here in CA?

They are surprised? Did they think no one was going to ask the King what their roles would be?

This is a lot of hooey.
