King clarifies that Harry and Meghan will not have official duties

Observador7 September 2026 at 17:04

Carlos III publicly clarified that Harry and Meghan will not perform official duties of the British royalty nor participate in official events, even after their return to the United Kingdom. The monarch took the decision to clarify the situation of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who had recently returned to the country.

The couple, who had previously stepped away from royal duties in 2020, will also not use the title of His/Her Royal Highness. This decision marks a definitive break with the institutional responsibilities that normally accompany membership in the British royal family.

Harry and Meghan had left their royal duties about four years ago, initially settling in the United States. Their return to the United Kingdom raised questions about the possible reinstatement of their role in the monarchy, which have now been definitively clarified by King Charles III.
