The return of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to the UK has already sparked plenty of discussion. Now, King Charles III has publicly addressed the arrival of his younger son and his family for the first time.

Under the monarch’s decision, Harry and Meghan are free to live in the UK, but neither their former royal duties nor their previous status will be restored. What’s more, Charles III has banned Harry and Meghan from being referred to as members of the royal family.

According to the BBC, a letter on behalf of the monarch was sent to representatives of the government, the Ministry of Defence and members of the House of Lords. Around 100 people received the document in total. It was prompted by numerous questions about how Harry and Meghan should now be treated.

The letter explicitly states that they are no longer working members of the royal family. As a result, they should not be treated as representatives of the monarchy. In particular, they should not be addressed as «His Royal Highness» or «Her Royal Highness» — their titles remain suspended and are not to be used.

«The charitable activities of the Duke and Duchess are a personal matter for both of them and are carried out in a private capacity. Their position is similar to that of private individuals who have commercial and charitable interests», the letter states.

Charles III also stressed that the arrangements agreed upon following Harry and Meghan’s withdrawal from royal duties in 2020 will not be revisited.

«Their status has not changed», the letter states.

This means that Harry and Meghan will not be able to make a partial return to royal life either. They are not permitted to carry out official duties while simultaneously developing their own independent business.

At the end of August, the Sussexes returned to the UK with their children after spending six years in the United States. In 2020, Harry and Meghan announced their decision to step back from working members of the royal family.

The couple is now living at their own residence outside London, which does not belong to the royal family.

In recent months, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been making fewer public appearances together, increasingly focusing on their individual projects. But Meghan Markle and Prince Harry recently stepped out side by side once again. The couple attended a gala in Victoria, Canada, marking the 40th anniversary of the charitable foundation founded by their longtime friend — music producer David Foster.

For the evening, 45-year-old Meghan chose a navy blue gown by Canadian label Greta Constantine. The understated strapless design featured a fitted silhouette and minimalist cut. The Duchess wore her hair in an elegant updo, while the standout detail of her look was a pair of sapphire-and-diamond earrings that once belonged to her late mother-in-law — Princess Diana.

The gala was part of a two-day celebration marking the 40th anniversary of the David Foster Foundation, established by the music producer in 1986. The organization supports Canadian families whose children require life-saving organ transplants, helping cover accommodation, travel and other everyday expenses during treatment. Since its founding, the foundation has supported more than 1,600 families.

The anniversary celebrations will continue with a free David Foster & Friends concert at Victoria’s Inner Harbour. Josh Groban, Katharine McPhee, CeeLo Green, The Tenors, Loren Allred, Pia Toscano and other artists are set to take the stage.

After years of strained relations between the British royal family and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the ice may finally be thawing. King Charles III has met with his younger son, Prince Harry, his wife Meghan Markle, and his grandchildren Archie and Lilibet for the first time in four years.

According to Vanity Fair, the meeting took place at Highgrove House, the King’s country residence in Gloucestershire. The guests were welcomed by both King Charles and Queen Camilla. Buckingham Palace confirmed that the family reunion took place but declined to provide any further details. Royal representatives have not commented on what was discussed, how long the meeting lasted, or whether any photographs from the occasion will be released.

Sources close to the family say that Prince Harry promised his father he would not publicly disclose the contents of their conversation. It is only known that the gathering was held in a highly private setting, away from media attention.

Insiders also report that the King had long wished to see his grandchildren again. For the 77-year-old monarch, the reunion was particularly meaningful. The last time Archie and Lilibet visited the United Kingdom was in 2022, when they attended events surrounding the farewell to Queen Elizabeth II.

As a reminder, Prince Harry arrived in London a few days ago to take part in events organized by the Invictus Games Foundation.

The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has shared a new video on Instagram capturing a cozy autumn day spent with her family on a farm. Together with Prince Harry and their children — Archie and Lilibet — she enjoyed a day of family fun, picking pumpkins and wandering through a corn maze.

In the video, little Lili, dressed in a pink outfit, is seen arranging yellow pumpkins before sitting in a small cart pushed by Meghan. The Duchess chose a dark brown jacket, black leggings, and knee-high boots for the outing. Archie, wearing a brown quilted jacket, can be seen running through the maze while his parents, holding hands, watch him with smiles. Prince Harry appears in the clip wearing an olive-green hoodie, jeans, and a white baseball cap.

Captioning the video «Happy Sunday,» Meghan also added a short Story showing Harry carving a pumpkin.

Although the Duchess rarely shares photos or videos of her children — and continues to keep their faces private — she occasionally opens up about family life. Recently, Meghan revealed that the family has a «special healing blanket» — whenever the kids start to fuss, the parents simply wrap them in it, and they calm down almost instantly.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are once again in the spotlight — the Duke and Duchess of Sussex continue to enjoy their leisure time by attending some of the biggest music events.

Just a week ago, the couple was spotted at Beyoncé’s concert, and now they’ve been seen at a performance by American singer and guitarist James Taylor.

The concert took place on May 13 at the open-air Santa Barbara Bowl amphitheater, which seats over 4,500 people and operates during the warmer months. Meghan confirmed her attendance at the event by sharing photos on Instagram.

James Taylor — a six-time Grammy Award winner and a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame since 2000 — is currently on a major tour.

After the concert, the artist made a thoughtful gesture by gifting the Sussexes copies of his children’s lullaby book «Sweet Baby James,» published in 2018. The book is named after Taylor’s 1970 album of the same name. He also personally signed a copy for Harry and Meghan.

Prince Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle, continues to surprise the public. In the second episode of her new Netflix show «With Love, Meghan», she revealed that she has officially changed her last name. Specifically, she has given up her maiden name «Markle» and taken the last name «Sussex.»

The former American actress shared this during a conversation with American TV host Mindy Kaling.

«People wouldn’t believe that Meghan Markle ate at Jack in the Box,» Kaling said to the Duchess.

«It’s so funny that you keep «Meghan Markle.» You know that I’m Sussex now,» Prince Harry’s wife corrected Kaling.

She added that she decided to change her last name so that it would match her children’s.

«I love that it’s something Archie, Lili, Harry, and I all share. It means a lot to me,» Meghan concluded.

Recently, Prince Harry attended the Invictus Games, an event he founded. This year’s competition is taking place in Vancouver. The son of Britain’s King Charles III arrived there with his wife, Meghan Markle.

For her public appearance, Meghan chose a chocolate-colored dress by A.L.C. Later, she changed into white trousers and a sleeveless sweater. Harry wore dark trousers and a classic blazer.

«I didn’t even plan on giving a speech today – we just arrived literally a few hours ago. But I immediately thought, ‘Oh, I feel at home here!’ We are incredibly happy to be here, and I would have regretted not taking this opportunity to introduce you to someone who means so much to me. I believe he means a lot to you as well!» Meghan said emotionally while introducing Harry.

Then, the couple shared a kiss on stage in front of everyone, prompting applause from the audience.

We assume that this romantic gesture was meant to finally dispel rumors about alleged problems in their marriage.

As a reminder, former U.S. President Donald Trump previously stated that he does not plan to deport Prince Harry. There is a significant reason for this.

«He already has enough problems with his wife (Meghan Markle). She’s terrible», Trump told The New York Post.

The future Queen of the United Kingdom, Kate Middleton, wants Prince William to mend his relationship with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, especially after the emotional year of 2024 for the monarchy, according to Mirror.

Perhaps her perspective was influenced by health challenges she faced last year. Recently, she announced that her illness is in remission, prompting her to reflect on the importance of family ties.

An insider shared the following:

«She realized that life is too short to hold onto grudges.»

This sentiment seems to resonate within the royal family, as they consider putting an end to their long-standing feud with the Sussexes. However, despite these positive signs, the road to reconciliation is fraught with difficulties. After documentaries, interviews, and books where the younger son of the British monarch and his wife Meghan Markle criticized several members of the royal family, many felt deeply hurt.

Nevertheless, Kate Middleton is determined to take «small steps» to resolve the conflict.

 «This wall of silence could last a long time. But after everything she went through last year, Kate clearly understands how precious life is,» the insider added.

According to media reports, the Prince and Princess of Wales recently applied to register a trademark to launch their charity, the Royal Foundation, in the United States. Kate believes that this foundation could be a good way to unite both families.

It is worth noting that relations between Harry and his family have been strained since he and Meghan stepped back from royal duties in 2020.

The last time Harry, Meghan, Kate, and William were seen together was at Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September 2022. At King Charles’s coronation in May of the following year, the Duke of Sussex attended alone.
