  • A letter sent in King Charles's name says Prince Harry and Meghan will not return as working members of the Royal Family after moving back to Britain.
  • The couple cannot use the styles โ€œHis Royal Highnessโ€ and โ€œHer Royal Highnessโ€ and any engagements will take place privately, without representing the Royal Family.
  • The clarification reaffirms the 2020 Sandringham Agreement as Harry and Meghan settle in Britain and support their charitable organizations.

Prince Harry and Meghan will not become working members of the Royal Family again, even after returning to Britain with their children, Archie and Lilibet. A letter sent in King Charles's name makes clear that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex remain private citizens and cannot undertake official engagements.

The letter was sent by the Lord Chamberlain, one of Buckingham Palace's most senior officials, to Harry's team, government departments, military officials and Lord-Lieutenants. Those local representatives of the monarch and government employees often help arrange visits and engagements by members of the Royal Family.

The message says any appearances by Harry and Meghan will take place in a private capacity and will not represent the Royal Family. It appears designed to prevent their possible visits from being treated as royal engagements, as the couple prepares for likely public appearances this autumn while settling in Britain and supporting their charities.

It is well known that, in January 2020, the Duke and Duchess gave up carrying out representative duties on behalf of the Sovereign and are no longer working members of the Royal Family.

Harry and Meghan have kept a low profile, although a photograph posted by London's Tower Bridge Studios appears to show Harry in a television and podcast studio. The image was described as his first apparent photograph since returning to Britain.

The King's message also confirms that the 2020 Sandringham Agreement remains in force. That arrangement ruled out a half-in, half-out role, meaning Harry and Meghan could not pursue their own commercial activities while remaining working members of the Royal Family. The letter states that they gave up official duties on behalf of the monarch in January 2020 and that their charitable work remains a personal matter carried out privately.

The charitable work of the Duke and Duchess is a personal matter for both of them and is carried out in a private capacity.
