Summary

  • A palace "letter of guidance" drew fresh lines around Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as non-working royals after Harry’s return to the UK unsettled the Royal Family.
  • July’s private Highgrove meeting with King Charles and Queen Camilla is now seen as the trigger point, with royal commentators saying Harry did not flag plans to move back weeks later.
  • That surprise reportedly left the King needing to formalize the couple’s status, while unresolved security questions are still under review by the relevant Home Office body.
  • Harry and Meghan are still expected to appear in Britain for WellChild and the Invictus Games, underscoring how hard it may be to distinguish non-working from working royals in public.
