Key Points:

- The letter, sent by the Lord Chamberlain to government and military officials, confirms their financial independence and privacy protections, with no change to their status since stepping back from senior royal roles in 2020.
- Harry and Meghan do not use their "Royal Highness" titles, do not receive public funds for royal duties, and rely on privately funded security rather than taxpayer-funded protection.
- The Sussex family arrived in the U.K. on August 26 for an extended stay, with their children Archie and Lilibet attending school, though their exact residence and school are undisclosed.
- Since stepping away from royal duties, Harry and Meghan have pursued commercial projects including speaking engagements and Netflix production deals, such as their 2022 docuseries "Harry & Meghan."
