Quick Summary

Prince Harry has not spoken to his father, King Charles III, since returning to the UK two weeks ago. According to royal sources, Charles feels "perplexed" that Harry kept him informed about plans but then didn't speak to him directly about moving back with his family. The Sussexes' decision to move back to the UK has left the royal family "blindsided", with one source saying it's making reconciliation harder. Charles has confirmed through a letter from Buckingham Palace that Harry and Meghan Markle will not carry out official engagements as working royals, instead holding private citizen status.

Story summary

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and their two children have returned to the UK, causing "shockwaves" in the Royal Family. The family has settled outside of London for an extended period, with Prince Archie (7) and Princess Lilibet (5) attending school in the area. This move is seen as a surprise, given that Harry and Meghan stepped back from their royal duties in 2020 and moved to California.

The return has raised questions about taxpayer-funded security for the family. Harry had previously ruled out returning to the UK due to security concerns, but now appears to be seeking reinstated police protection. The issue of security is a contentious one, with some experts arguing that the family's presence in the UK creates "genuine threats" and others suggesting that they should have access to security as private citizens.

Meanwhile, Meghan Markle is reportedly considering a return to charity work, including her previous role with Smart Works. The move has been met with mixed reactions from the Royal Family, with some welcoming Harry and Meghan's return and others expressing frustration at their sudden reappearance in the UK.

King Charles III has confirmed that Harry and Meghan remain non-working royals after their return to the UK, meaning they will not be undertaking official royal duties. The decision was outlined in a letter sent to senior government officials, which emphasized that the couple's position is "akin to private citizens with commercial and charitable activities."
