King Charles has officially declared that his youngest son, Prince Harry, and Meghan, his wife, are classified as non-working members of the royal family as they return to the United Kingdom. In a letter addressed to senior British officials, it has been emphasized that since stepping down from their official royal duties in 2020, Harry and Meghan are no longer considered active members of the royal family.

The letter, distributed to Harry’s team and provided as guidance to government and military officials, underscores that Harry and Meghan’s status as non-working royals allows them personal freedom in terms of financial independence and privacy protection. The couple’s decision to disengage from official royal duties grants them the liberty to pursue charitable work and commercial interests in a private capacity.

Prince Harry and his family recently arrived in Britain, marking their return after six years of residing in the United States. Their departure from the UK in 2020 signified a transition towards independent career paths, with Harry vocalizing concerns about royal neglect, media intrusion, and inadequate security measures, which hindered his ability to come back home.
