The letter, issued by Lord Chamberlai, Lord Benyon on behalf of the King, was distributed to Harry\u2019s team, government officials, military leaders and Lord Lieutenants \u2014 royal representatives who may be involved in official visits. Its purpose, according to Palace sources, is to ensure that any public activity by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex going forward is understood to be undertaken in a private capacity rather than on behalf of the monarchy.<\/p>\n

According to Newsweek, which obtained the letter\u2019s text, it states that the couple\u2019s position \u201cis akin to private citizens with commercial and charitable interests,\u201d and confirms their styles as His and Her Royal Highness remain unused. The letter also reportedly reiterates that the arrangement struck when the couple stepped back from royal duties in January 2020 \u2014 sometimes called the Sandringham Agreement \u2014 remains fully in effect, barring any \u201chalf-in, half-out\u201d role that would let them draw on royal status while pursuing outside commercial ventures.<\/p>\n

Harry and Meghan relocated to Britain in late August with their children, Archie and Lilibet, after six years living in Montecito, California. The family is reportedly settling into a privately owned home outside London while keeping their California residence and a property in Portugal. The Daily Wire previously reported that the move followed a private meeting in July between the King, Queen Camilla, and the Sussexes at Highgrove House \u2014 the first family gathering since the rift that followed the couple\u2019s 2020 departure and subsequent public criticisms of the royal family in Harry\u2019s memoir and the couple\u2019s Netflix series.<\/p>\n

Buckingham Palace had not issued formal comment on the letter as of Monday afternoon. The Sussexes\u2019 office has not released a statement responding to the Palace\u2019s clarification.<\/p>\n
