Page Six • • entertainment
Key Points:
- King Charles referred to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as “private citizens” in a letter to clarify that they are not working royals and to prevent public confusion about their status.
- The letter emphasized that Harry and Meghan would not resume senior royal roles upon returning to the UK, and any public-facing activities require palace approval.
- Harry and Meghan reportedly took issue with being labeled “private citizens,” arguing they remain public figures and cannot live a normal private life.
- The letter was sent to the media without prior consultation with the couple, causing frustration and suspicions it was timed to influence discussions on their police protection status.
- The family returned to the UK on August 26, with Harry making a public appearance shortly after, while Meghan was seen in a private setting in the Cotswolds.
