Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have hit back after being labelled as private citizens, insisting their normal life is "sadly over" following their return to the UK after six years in the USA.
A source close to the Sussexes said the couple reject King Charles' guidance, describing their position as "akin to private citizens." They insist they remain "public figures" whose status comes with security risks.
Security concerns for the family
The prince has long been concerned about his family's security in the UK, and considers the routine drop-offs and pick-ups for Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet as their primary vulnerability.
A source close to the Sussexes said: "The idea that they can live a normal, 'private' life is sadly not realistic."
