THE KING PUT IT IN WRITING: HARRY AND MEGHAN ARE 'PRIVATE CITIZENS' — AND UGANDA QUIT THE INVICTUS GAMES WITHIN 48 HOURS
Mark Francis on the week a line got drawn in an official document. At the King's direction, the Lord Chamberlain wrote to senior stakeholders across government, the military and the Lord-Lieutenancies confirming the Sussexes remain private individuals rather than working royals, and that their charitable work is undertaken privately. Two days later Uganda's defence chief withdrew the country from the Invictus Games rather than back anything without "His Majesty's approval." A source close to Harry and Meghan called it "clearly a consequence" of guidance "rushed out without consultation." Plus: Prince George starts at Eton.
