King’s letter confirms Harry and Meghan remain private citizens
A royal household letter announced that Prince Harry and Meghan continue to be private citizens, a status the couple learned of only shortly before the announcement. The Sussexes have kept a low public profile since returning to Britain in July, focusing on their children’s schooling and a new residence in the North Cotswolds, where local sentiment is described as mixed. Prince Harry is expected to increase his charitable visibility, including attendance at the upcoming WellChild Awards, while the pair will skip the Diana Award gala on 18 September. Recent family outings have included visits to Althorp and the Scottish Highlands, and discussions are ongoing about a potential acting project for Meghan.
