The letter reiterated that Harry and Meghan stepped down from their representative duties on behalf of the Sovereign in January 2020 and have not returned to the working Royal Family since
King Charles has made clear that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, will retain their status as private citizens and non-working members of the Royal Family, even as they spend an extended period in Britain.
The clarification was set out in a letter from the Lord Chamberlain, issued on the King's behalf and circulated among senior government officials, military authorities and Lord Lieutenants, according to reports.
The letter reiterated that Harry and Meghan stepped down from their representative duties on behalf of the Sovereign in January 2020 and have not returned to the working Royal Family since. "It follows that there is no change to the current status of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex," the guidance said.
It also stated that their His and Her Royal Highness styles remain “in abeyance” and are not to be used. Their charitable activities are considered personal initiatives and are undertaken in a private capacity.
The guidance effectively places Harry and Meghan in a position comparable to private citizens who retain royal rank while pursuing commercial and charitable interests independently.
The Palace has also indicated that security-related matters concerning the couple should be addressed by individual police forces rather than being treated as part of their royal duties.
The clarification comes amid renewed public interest following Harry and Meghan's return to Britain, raising questions over whether their 2020 arrangement, agreed with the late Queen Elizabeth II, remained applicable.
Buckingham Palace's position is that the arrangement continues. The couple will not resume official duties, receive public funding for royal work or have their commercial and charitable activities managed by the Palace.
Their UK return, therefore, does not represent a restoration of their working-royal status.

I hope the royals don’t regret this. I wouldn’t let those two anywhere near anything important.
The Muslims in Britain will overthrow the Royal Family by 2050. They will establish a Caliphate instead.
“King Charles has made clear that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, will retain their status as private citizens and non-working members of the Royal Family, even as they spend an extended period in Britain.” Glad that’s finally settled.
Yeah now that it’s settled, I can get a night’s sleep again.
Uh, hey Chuck. Please keep them there.
So if they remain private citizens with no royal stipend, one has to wonder how these grifters will be able to afford their expensive digs in London and Santa Barbara.
I’d say by 2030
And it’s said that he now owes a fortune in legal fees - over £9 million.
I think this move may indicate that it’s not so much a ‘match’ anymore. Some of the Brit commentators are suggesting that this was a smart move by Harry to get his kids out from under U.S. jurisdiction.
Sounds like a retired general. People still call them generals as an honorific but they no longer have a position in the military.
I believe you are mistaken about how the Muslims will take over. And it will be
an Emirate, because the Mountbatten family do not claim descent from Muhammad.
In good King Charles' golden days when loyalty no harm meant
A pious man of God was I and so I gained preferment.
There is no god but God quoth I, Muhammad is His prophet.
The infidel sign upon the flag shall soon be taken off it.And this be law, I will maintain ...

who cares?
in or out they are a nonentity
i like the royals but just the dead ones who actually did something
now if harry raised an army to take the throne
cmon harry lets see some GOT IRL
Meghan ain’t gonna like this. She is a qwang!
Kang Chuck already changed his title and threw out Christianity. The only point I disagree with is the UK will be a full muzzie s hole way before 2050.
The King Charles relinquished his duties to Prince William who is now effectively the king.
What a public embarrassment they’ve become, they’re lives have become a cautionary tale.
IMBW, but I remember Prince Charles promising, once he married Camilla, would never be “Queen” but “Queen Consort” or some other term like that. It’s the same thing.
He and his PR team pulled off a brilliant plan, as she is fully Queen, as always was and is the law no matter what “softening” terminology he promised.
H & M’s return will be done in phases, like cooking a frog in warm water. But it won’t matter, as you said. Although I suspect the overt takeover may well come sooner than 2050. Brits need to seriously consider escaping while they can. JMHO.
Any woman who becomes a queen by marriage is a ‘queen consort’. Diana would have been, and the Queen Mother was. Katherine will also be a ‘queen consort’.
