Prince Harry Pushes Back On King Charles’ Letter – Palace Insider Fires Back

On Monday, September 7, the Palace released a letter that seems to have rubbed the Sussexes in all the wrong ways, despite being just a letter that explains their continued lack of role within the Monarchy.

According to sources, Harry and Meghan are prepared to take legal action if the Palace does not change their label of “private citizens” to “public figures.”

But, if you ask one royal expert, Harry is simply exposing his diplomatic stupidity with this whole stunt.

Key Takeaways

• The Sept. 7 guidance reaffirmed that Harry and Meghan are not working royals.
• The letter described their position as “akin to private citizens”, rather than literally declaring they are ordinary private individuals.
• A source close to the Sussexes responded that they remain public figures.
• The guidance did not change their existing royal status or restore official duties.
• Their response has fueled another round of Palace/Sussex tension.

Prince Harry is Frustrating Palace By Openly Lashing Out At King’s Letter

After listing Prince of England as one of his occupations during a podcast chat, it must have been a rude awakening for Harry and Meghan to receive the King’s letter, which states that they do not represent the Monarchy in any official capacity.

The couple’s reaction was even more remarkable yet, because they sought to find fault with the letter’s contents, and claimed that the Palace didn’t give them enough time to make a note or two on one or two things in the letter.

“There is real frustration within royal circles because Harry can sometimes appear too dim to grasp how diplomacy at this level actually operates,” the insider shared.

“This was formal guidance being distributed to officials, not the opening of another negotiation with the Sussexes – and it was the result of Harry and Meghan continuing to pose in public as working royals, with trips abroad and charitable visits.”

After Harry and Meghan made their discontent over the letter public, a Palace source pushed back on their public pushback, saying, “The Palace view would be that there was nothing fundamentally new here for Harry to misunderstand.

The King’s position has already been made clear. The Sussexes are not working royals, and their independent activities cannot be allowed to create uncertainty among government, military or other official bodies about whom they represent.”

They added: “Maybe this will finally get through to him now.”
