Piers Morgan has reacted strongly after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle expressed surprise over a new letter from King Charles clarifying their position within the Royal Family.
The development comes after the Sussexes recently returned to Britain with their children following several years living in the United States. Their return has once again placed their relationship with the Royal Family under intense public attention.
In the letter, King Charles made it clear that Harry and Meghan are not returning as working members of the Royal Family. Their position remains that of private citizens, meaning they are not expected to carry out official royal duties on behalf of the monarch.
The letter also clarified that the couple should not be publicly addressed using the HRH styles. Their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles remain, but their working-royal role has not been restored.
The timing of the announcement appeared to surprise Harry and Meghan. A spokesperson for the couple said they were surprised that they had not been informed about the letter in advance.
That response quickly drew attention from Piers Morgan, who has a long and highly publicised history of criticism involving Meghan and Harry.
Morgan reacted on social media by dismissing the couple's complaint and arguing that King Charles was simply restating an established fact about their royal position. His comments added another layer to an already tense story surrounding the Sussexes' return to Britain.
The King's letter was reportedly issued to remove uncertainty after Harry and Meghan's relocation to the UK created questions among officials about how the couple should be treated in relation to royal duties and status.
The clarification is particularly significant because Harry and Meghan stepped away from official royal duties in 2020. Although they remain members of the wider Royal Family and retain their Duke and Duchess titles, they have not resumed official duties for the monarch.
The latest development also comes at a sensitive moment for Prince Harry. His return to Britain has renewed speculation about whether relations with his father could improve, while questions surrounding security and the couple's exact position continue to attract attention.
For now, King Charles' message appears to draw a firm line between the Sussexes' private life and the official work of the monarchy.
Piers Morgan's reaction shows that the debate surrounding Harry and Meghan remains far from over. Their return to Britain may have brought them physically closer to the Royal Family, but the King's latest clarification makes clear that their official role has not changed.
