Harry and Meghan expressed surprise after receiving a letter from King Charles III that explicitly reaffirmed their status as non-working royals.
The letter, released by Buckingham Palace, reiterated that neither Harry nor Meghan holds official royal duties or financial support from the monarchy.
In a definitive statement, the King ruled out any possibility of the couple returning to working royal roles, closing the door on further integration into royal responsibilities.
The BBC confirmed the King’s position, reporting that Harry and Meghan remain classified as non-working royals with no active engagement in state functions.
