Description
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been told by King Charles that their move to the UK does not change their status within the Royal Family.
Two weeks after the family flew from California to Britain, they have been sent a letter setting out their position.
Buckingham Palace has taken the unusual step of releasing the letter, which came from the Lord Chamberlain.
It formally reminds Prince Harry and Meghan that they can’t use the styles His and Her Royal Highness, their charity is undertaken in a private capacity, and they are “private citizens” who have commercial interests.
It has been sent to government and military offices, and the Lord Lieutenants in all the British counties just in case they might get confused as the Sussexes start undertaking public engagements.
Harry and Meghan confirmed on August 19 that they were moving back to the UK and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, will be enrolled in a British school.
