The court freezes expectations: 'Harry and Meghan remain private citizens'

The article reports that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who returned to the UK after six years in self-imposed exile in the United States, will continue to operate as 'private citizens' rather than active members of the royal family. A formal letter issued by Buckingham Palace, authorized by King Charles III, confirms this decision. The letter, circulated to various British authorities and high-ranking officials, reaffirms the terms of the 2020 Sandringham Agreement, which requires them to renounce any formal representative role within the monarchy. While they retain the title of Dukes of Sussex, they will not be addressed as 'His/Her Majesty' and their activities, both commercial and charitable, will remain unofficial. The document aims to clarify that their return does not signal a revival of their previous roles within the royal family, nor does it suggest a potential future reinstatement as active members. This comes amid ongoing tensions between Harry and his brother, Prince William, who has expressed skepticism about the couple’s intentions.
