Author: Caloroga Media / The Daily Royal Family Podcast September 4, 2026 Duration: 9:51
A new idea for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s life in Britain is emerging: “private royals plus,” with the Sussexes remaining non-working royals while potentially joining King Charles and the family for occasions such as Christmas at Sandringham.
