Prince Harry Rejects 'Not a Working Royal' Label

Prince Harry has publicly contested the notion that he is not a working royal, despite him and his wife, Meghan Markle, stepping back from their senior royal duties in January 2020. Speaking in an interview, the Duke of Sussex firmly stated, "No. I will always be part of the royal family." He elaborated that he continues to perform royal engagements, feeling he is "born to do" them and finds genuine enjoyment in the work.

Harry drew parallels between his current engagements and past royal tours, emphasizing his dedication to supporting causes and individuals. He expressed a desire to bring attention to issues that might otherwise fade from public view. This defense comes years after the couple's initial announcement to transition away from senior royal roles to pursue financial independence while balancing time between North America and the United Kingdom.
