Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were reportedly surprised by the timing of a letter issued on King Charles' behalf reiterating their status as non-working royals, despite their team receiving the correspondence shortly before it was made public.
A spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said the couple were 'a little surprised not to have been told about this in advance' after the Palace issued the guidance on Monday, September 7. The letter was sent to government departments and other officials following Harry and Meghan's return to the UK in August.
