- A letter from the Lord Chamberlain was sent to senior government and military officials, as well as the king’s representatives, to clarify the couple’s status and avoid confusion.
- Any charity work by Harry and Meghan will be done privately, and decisions regarding their security are handled by relevant police agencies, with no change to their current arrangements.
- The letter aims to address concerns that the couple’s status might lead to a parallel royal court competing with working royals, especially amid ongoing debates over their publicly funded police protection.
- Questions about official courtesies or public funding related to the Duke and Duchess should be directed to Buckingham Palace, according to the Lord Chamberlain.
