King Charles has made it clear that Harry and Meghan will remain non-working royals.
The King recently authorised a letter to senior British officials claiming that the pair, who recently returned to the UK, will not use the titles His or Her Royal Highness.
UK correspondent Enda Brady says it's likely Charles felt the need to clarify that Harry and Meghan aren't representing him or the royals.

The Labour Party has pledged to review the Emissions Trading Scheme if elected, and claims the current price is 'too low' to drive down reductions.
In an earlier announcement, leader Chris Hipkins said the party would make changes to the scheme - and that they wouldn't campaign on pricing agricultural emissions, a departure from their earlier stance.
The Country's Jamie Mackay has admitted he supports this development, and unpacked the rest of the party's announcement.

One of the biggest names in the world of AI has claimed that the technology can match human capabilities, but one expert has warned us not to get too excited.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang recently declared that OpenAI's new Astra model has brought about the start of 'artificial general intelligence' earlier this week, and pointed out the technology was aided by Nvidia's chips.
Gorilla Technology CEO Paul Spain says it's Nvidia's job to sell the hardware AI runs on - and it needs to keep excitement up in order to sell us on the technology.
"That's how his share price stays high, that's how OpenAI and Anthropic end up sort of having big IPOs. So I think this is part of trying to keep it exciting and hype for people - but I'm not sure we've reached what I would call artificial general intelligence just yet."
