  • Prince Harry and Meghan remain outside the Royal Family’s group of working royals after returning to the United Kingdom with their children.
  • The palace clarified their status in a letter sent to several authorities at King Charles III’s request.
  • Harry and Meghan had previously given up their working-royal roles by choice.

Prince Harry and Meghan have returned to the United Kingdom, but they have not returned to the Royal Family’s inner circle. They remain private citizens rather than “working royals.”

The palace clarified the status in a letter sent on Monday to several authorities at the request of King Charles III. Harry and Meghan had deliberately given up their working-royal roles.

The couple returned to Britain with their children at the end of August. Their presence in the country therefore does not change their formal place within the monarchy, according to the palace clarification.
