Prince Harry and Meghan Markle dislike the phrase 'working members of the royal family' because they remain family members and continue to work independently, according to a friend quoted in a new report. The source called the terminology 'lazy', distinguishing the couple's professional and charitable activities from duties undertaken on behalf of the monarch.
The comments followed their joint visit to Nottingham on 15 October, their first public appearance together in the UK since returning in August. Although the visit received a warm reception from some members of the public, it also attracted criticism online from people who questioned whether its format resembled an official royal engagement.
