Why we used this label
Fitzwilliams describes the letter as both a legitimate statement of the palace's position and a deliberate put-down, combining an acknowledgement of its legitimacy with criticism of its tone.
Charles’s public restatement of Harry and Meghan’s royal limits drew arguments for clear institutional boundaries and objections to handling the matter publicly. This case examines the communication, not a new change in their status.
