Harry and Meghan contest the ‘private citizen’ label in King Charles’s letter

King Charles III reportedly issued a letter to UK officials stating that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are non-working royals and ‘private citizens’ with private charitable and commercial interests. The Sussexes were reportedly surprised to learn of the wording after the letter had already been sent and would prefer to be described as ‘public figures’ while acknowledging they remain part of the Royal Family in a private capacity. The timeline notes the letter’s brief sharing with the Sussexes’ office, and Harry is said to have taken issue with the label. The development comes as the couple recently relocated to England with their children, Archie and Lilibet.
