The king's son and daughter-in-law close the door, Harry and Meghan remain ordinary citizens
Kralj Karel III. je določil, da princ Harry in njegova soproga Meghan Markle po vrnitvi na Otok ne bosta imela kraljevskih zadolžitev in bosta obravnavana kot 'navadna državljana'. Njuna naziva kraljeve visokosti ostajata v mirovanju, in ne bosta uporabljala kraljevskega naziva. Tako kot je bilo dogovorjeno leta 2020, ne bosta prevzela uradnih kraljevskih dolžnosti, njuno dobrodelno delo pa bo ostalo zasebno. Kljub temu želita še vedno sodelovati pri dobrodelnih projektih. Kraljevo pismo je prišlo tik pred sestankom odbora Ravec, ki odloča o varovanju kraljeve družine. Harryjeva ekipa je bila zaskrbljena, ker je objava povezana s tem sestankom, vendar so iz Buckinghamske palače zanikali takšne povezave. Na sestanku bo razpravljano o varnostnem statusu in ali bo družina deležna policijske zaščite. Vprašanje varnosti je za Harryja posebej pomembno, ker je družina znova v Veliki Britaniji, njuna otroka pa obiskuje britansko šolo.
King Charles III has formally concluded speculation over the status of his son Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle following their return to the United Kingdom. In a letter sent by Lord Chamberlain, the highest official in the royal household, the monarch clarified that the couple will not hold any official duties or titles upon their return. They will remain private citizens and retain the title “His/Her Royal Highness” only in name, according to the document shared with media outlets including the BBC. The letter was sent to Harry’s team, government departments, military representatives, and the Lord Lieutenant, who often collaborate with royal officials in organizing visits and public engagements. It explicitly states that Harry and Meghan will carry out any responsibilities solely as private individuals and will not represent the royal family. This decision reaffirms the terms of the Sandringham Agreement from 2020, which outlined their departure from royal duties and exit from the UK. The letter also clarifies that charitable activities conducted by Harry and Meghan will remain their personal affairs, and organizations seeking their involvement, particularly if public funds are involved, must contact Buckingham Palace for guidance. While their return to the UK marks a shift in their living arrangements, the letter does not address the ongoing issue of security for Harry, who lost police protection in the UK after leaving royal duties. All questions regarding operational aspects of security remain under the jurisdiction of the appropriate policing authorities. In past statements, Harry had expressed concerns about inadequate police protection in the UK, though Buckingham Palace emphasized that decisions on security fall under the purview of the Security Committee for the Royal Family and prominent individuals. The committee, based at the Home Office, determines protective measures for members of the royal family and other high-profile figures. Harry and Meghan returned to the UK in August after six years of life in California with their children, seven-year-old Archie and five-year-old Lilibet. Despite this move, the couple continues to maintain properties in California and Portugal, suggesting their return is more of a long-term stay than a definitive relocation. Their arrival on the island has not been interpreted as a final return, but rather as an extended period of residence in the UK. The letter, issued just before a planned meeting of the Security Committee, has left Harry’s team surprised. A representative noted that they were “somewhat taken aback” by the lack of prior communication. The timing raised concerns among Harry’s supporters, who feared the message might be linked to the upcoming discussion on security arrangements. Buckingham Palace swiftly denied such claims, stating that security decisions rest with the British government. The question of whether Harry’s family will continue to receive publicly funded police protection remains unresolved. At the next meeting, the committee is expected to debate recommendations on security and decide whether the family should be granted state-funded protection. An alternative option involves conducting a new security assessment, given the family’s recent return to the UK. Harry has long sought to ensure his family receives state-sponsored security, but his efforts to secure this have failed in court. Now, the decision rests with the Home Office’s Security Committee, which will determine the future of the family’s safety.
Kralj Karel III. je v pismu, poslanem v imenu kralja, razjasnil status vojvode in vojvodinje Susseške po njunem vračilu v Združeno kraljestvo. Zakonca ne bosta več opravljala vloge aktivnih članov kraljeve družine, ne bosta smela uporabljati naziva 'njegova kraljeva visokost' in bosta ohranila status zasebnih državljanov. Pismo je poslano ekipi princa Harryja, vladnim resorjem, predstavnikom vojske in lordom namestnikom, in jasno določa, da bosta obveznosti opravljala izključno kot zasebnika. Dobrodelne dejavnosti ostajajo njuna zasebna stvar, in organizacije, ki bi imele vprašanja glede njunega sprejema, se morajo obrniti na Buckinghamsko palačo. Vprašanje varovanja princa Harryja ostaja odprt, saj je odločanje o tem v pristojnosti izvršnega odbora za varovanje kraljeve družine.
