The Duke and Duchess of Sussex expressed surprise at a letter from the Royal Household that clarified their status as non-working royals. Their spokesperson indicated they were not informed about the letter prior to its release, although royal sources claim they were made aware beforehand.
The letter reinforces the Sandringham Agreement from 2020, which prevents Harry and Meghan from engaging in commercial activities while retaining royal status. Additionally, a Home Office security committee is set to discuss taxpayer-funded security for the couple now residing in the UK.
Watch for potential fallout from the King's letter as it may affect Harry and Meghan's future engagements and public perception. The upcoming Home Office security committee meeting could also influence their safety arrangements, impacting their decision to remain in the UK.
