King Charles breaks silence on Prince Harry, Meghan Markle’s UK move in new blow to the couple

King Charles delivered a blow to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as he broke his silence on the couple’s move back to the UK.

The 77-year-old monarch confirmed the Sussexes will not be working royals carrying out official engagements now that they’re back in England, according to a letter sent on behalf of Charles by the family’s lord chamberlain, per the BBC.

The letter said Harry, 41, and Markle, 45, cannot use their titles of His and Her Royal Highness and are “private citizens with commercial and charitable interests,” a top palace official told the BBC.

“It is well known that in January 2020 the Duke and Duchess stepped down from undertaking representative duties on behalf of the Sovereign, and are no longer working Members of the Royal Family,” the letter reportedly stated.

The message confirmed that Harry and Markle’s 2020 agreement to stop being working royals when they left the UK will remain in place despite their move back.

Additionally, the letter ruled out the Sussexes taking a “half-in and half-out” status, meaning they can’t be working royals while continuing to pursue their independent business endeavors.

The letter added, “The charitable work of the Duke and Duchess is a personal matter for them both and undertaken in their private capacity.”

Palace sources told the BBC that the letter has been sent to Harry’s team, as well as the UK government, military and lord-lieutenants.
