Harry & Meghan Reject 'Lazy' Royal Labels

A close friend of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has revealed the couple's strong aversion to the phrase 'working members of the royal family,' deeming it a 'lazy' definition. The couple believes they are, in fact, members of the royal family who work diligently. This sentiment extends to their objection to being referred to as 'former royals,' which they find misleading and detrimental to public perception.

These remarks emerge amid ongoing tensions with the royal family. King Charles, who has not met with the couple since their return to the UK in August, previously issued a directive in September. This letter to government and military officials emphasized their status as non-working royals, instructing that they be treated as private citizens with commercial and charitable interests.

Separately, an observation was made regarding the reception Harry and Meghan received during a recent engagement in Nottingham. Reports indicated that attendees were prompted to cheer loudly and express affection for Meghan, a situation described as unusual and potentially an effort to ensure a warm welcome.
