Prince Harry and Meghan Markle 'Want to Be Public Figures' After King Charles' Letter

A royal expert warned Meghan Markle after she responded to Charles III’s status letter, as 2 weeks after the couple’s return, tensions remain strained.

  • On Monday, King Charles reiterated that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are "private citizens" in a letter to senior officials, clarifying they will not be working royals.
  • Following the couple's return to Britain last month after six years abroad, the Palace issued guidance ahead of the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures reviewing their security arrangements.
  • Staff for the Sussexes responded within 20 minutes of receiving the letter on Monday, stating the couple takes issue with the "private citizens" label and prefers to be known as "public figures."
  • Meghan Markle stated she was "surprised" by the announcement, drawing sharp criticism from former Conservative MP Louise Mensch, who wrote the couple had "no right to be notified" in advance.
  • Buckingham Palace maintains the letter contains "nothing controversial or new," though the exchange reflects ongoing discord between the Sussexes and the Royal Household over the couple's future status.
