Prince Harry and Meghan say they were 'a little surprised' to receive no advance notice of King Charles's letter confirming their non-working royal status. The letter, issued by the Lord Chamberlain on the King's orders, arrived in their office at 13:59 on 7 September, 67 minutes before its public release. Sussex aides claim they did not reach Harry until 15:09, minutes after the announcement.
In court, the Home Office said the couple's changed royal status meant they no longer received the same publicly funded protective security. A new review is under way. The Telegraph reported that sources close to the Sussexes feared a link to the letter, but palace sources denied it.
