Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had little warning before King Charles III publicly clarified in a letter to government officials that their royal status would remain unchanged.
On Tuesday, September 8, the day after the letter was released, a spokesperson for Harry, 41, and Meghan, 45, told the BBC that they "were a little surprised not to have been told about this in advance."
As In Touch previously reported, the unusual missive followed the couple's move back to Britain with their two children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, marking their return after six years in California.

"To help avoid doubt or confusion, the King has directed that the following information be shared," the letter, issued on September 7 by Lord Chamberlain Richard Benyon, stated (per The Guardian), reaffirming the arrangement established when Harry, 41, and Meghan, 45, stepped back as working royals in 2020.
