King Charles III has clarified that Prince Harry and Meghan remain outside the royal family, despite their return to the United Kingdom with their two children after six years away.

A letter issued in the king’s name by the Lord Chamberlain said there would be “no changes to the current status of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex”. Their use of the titles His Royal Highness and Her Royal Highness remains suspended, and the titles will not be used.

· Lord Chamberlain, on behalf of King Charles IIIThe letter clarified Harry and Meghan’s titles and status after their return to the UK.

The letter said Harry and Meghan had chosen “respect for their financial independence and the protection of their privacy”. That decision, it added, “will continue to be fully respected”. The correspondence was sent to Harry’s team, the government, the armed forces and the Lord Lieutenants, according to palace sources cited by the BBC.

· Lord Chamberlain, on behalf of King Charles IIIThe letter described the couple’s stated choice after leaving royal duties.

The couple returned to Britain at the end of August to settle there temporarily with their children, Prince Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five. They found a new home in the Cotswolds, six years after their break with the royal household and their sharp criticism of the treatment of Meghan.

Their return has prompted mixed reactions. Polls show that most people hold an unfavorable view of Meghan, and, to a lesser extent, of Harry, whose memoir “Spare” disclosed intimate details of family life.
