King Charles authorized a letter to senior British officials on Monday confirming that his youngest son, Prince Harry, and Harry’s \u200cwife, Meghan, remain non-working royals following their return to the U.K.<\/p>\n
The letter, which was shared with Harry’s team and sent as guidance to senior officials \u200bin the government and military, said that after \u200bHarry and Meghan stepped down from official royal duties in 2020, they “are no longer working Members \u200bof The Royal Family.”<\/p>\n
“This position, distinct from the State \u2060and Royal duties undertaken \u2060by the working Royal \u200cFamily, and with the personal latitude it brings the couple in respect of financial independence and protection of their privacy as they would wish, will continue to be \u2060fully respected,” the letter said.<\/p>\n
“It follows that there is no change to the current status of the Duke and Duchess of \u200cSussex…. The charitable work of the Duke and Duchess is a personal matter for them both and undertaken in their private capacity.<\/p>\n
“In short, their position is akin to \u200bprivate citizens with commercial and charitable interests.”<\/p>\n
Prince Harry and his family arrived \u2060back in Britain late last month, six years after quitting royal \u2060duties and moving to the United States.<\/p>\n
The couple had left \u2060for \u2060the U.S. in 2020, \u200bstepping down from official royal duties to chart independent careers, but \u200bthey never left the \u2060headlines as Harry accused the royals of neglect, the tabloid press of ruining his life and the government of failing to provide enough security for him to ever return home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Listen to this article Estimated 2 minutes The audio version of this article is generated by AI-based technology.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":887283,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,75],"class_list":["post-887282","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/887282","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=887282"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/887282\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/887283"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=887282"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=887282"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=887282"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
