Harry and Meghan back in UK, King Charles draws line on their royal status

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have returned to the United Kingdom after six years living in the U.S., but King Charles III has clarified that they will not resume official royal duties. A letter issued on the king's behalf reaffirms that Harry and Meghan are considered private citizens rather than working members of the royal family, adhering to the terms of their 2020 agreement to step down. This agreement, known as the Sandringham Agreement, prohibits them from holding a 'half-in, half-out' role, meaning they cannot engage in commercial activities while retaining royal status. The letter also emphasizes that any security concerns related to the couple should be addressed through local police authorities, though Harry has previously expressed dissatisfaction with the level of protection he receives in the UK. The couple's return has drawn attention, particularly as Meghan is anticipated to conduct charitable work in Britain.
