Harry and Meghan ‘surprised’ by King’s letter on their royal roles

Britain’s Duke and Duchess of Sussex returned to the UK last month

A spokesperson for Britain’s Duke and Duchess of Sussex has told the BBC they were surprised to see the Royal Household had sent out a letter clarifying the official status of Harry and Meghan as non-working royals.

The spokesperson told the broadcaster the pair “were a little surprised not to have been told about this in advance.”

But the BBC also reported Harry and Meghan were made aware of the letter before it was made public.

The letter, which was sent on behalf of King Charles , was intended to clarify the status of Prince Harry and Meghan, who moved back from California with children Archie and Lilibet last month.
