LONDON – Another day, another royal drama.
Prince Harry and **** ss Meghan were surprised by a letter sent on behalf of King Charles on Sept. 7, USA TODAY understands. The letter clarified that there would be absolutely no change to their royal status, despite them moving back to Britain last month.
While palace sources told the BBC the duke and **** ss were made aware of the letter before it was made public, USA TODAY understands that this was not the case.
The letter said the couple, who stepped back from their senior roles within the royal family in 2020, will still not be able to use the "HRH" **** les of His and Her Royal Highness, and that they are considered "private citizens with commercial and charitable interests." The document underscored that there can be no half in/half out arrangement when it comes to the British royal family.
The letter, which was also shared with government and military officials on Monday, was seen by Harry and Meghan's team about an hour before it was shared by the British tabloids. The duke was in a meeting and, by the time his team could reach him, the letter was about to be shared publicly.
