King Charles has made it clear that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will remain inactive members of the royal family even after they return to the UK.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will no longer act as ‘active members of the royal family’, according to the letter written by the monarch.

According to the British media, the purpose of this letter is to clarify the status of Prince Harry and Meghan, who recently returned to Britain from America.

According to a letter released by the royal palace, the couple will no longer be eligible to use the titles of His and Her Royal Highnesses and will remain private citizens.

According to royal palace sources, the king’s letter has been sent to Prince Harry’s team, government departments, military officials and lord lieutenants.

The letter makes it clear that any engagements the Sussex couple undertake will be in a private capacity and will not represent the royal family.
