Palace Letter Surprises Royals

Prince Harry and Meghan Surprised by Buckingham Palace Letter on Non-Working Royal Status

Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, were surprised by Buckingham Palace's release of a letter stating that they remain non-working members of the royal family, despite returning to the UK. The letter was sent on behalf of King Charles III to senior government and military officials and caught the couple off guard when it was released to the media. The couple's representatives received a copy of the letter just one hour and 12 minutes before it was publicly released, leaving them with little time to comment on its contents. The Lord Chamberlain, the most senior official in the royal household, stated that The King has directed that this information be shared to avoid confusion. The security issue is particularly sensitive as Harry has fought a long-running battle for the restoration of publicly funded police protection, which was canceled when the couple gave up their royal roles.
