The ongoing conflict between Prince Harry and the royal family is affecting his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Expert Jennie Bond said it’s sad that these children, even though they are part of a famous family, may grow up being distant from most of their relatives.
Since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left their royal duties in 2020 and moved to California, their children have had little contact with the royal family. A royal source said that Archie and Lilibet will likely not know their grandfather, King Charles, or their uncle, King William. This is hard for the children, who are caught in the middle of the family problems.
Harry still talks to King Charles, but his relationship with Prince William is broken. Because of this, Archie and Lilibet have had little contact with most of their royal relatives. They have spent time with Princess Eugenie and her children, but not many other family members. The children have only visited their royal family a few times.
Living in California, Archie and Lilibet are growing up with an American lifestyle. Archie goes to a local school, and Harry has said he enjoys raising his kids in the U.S., doing activities with them that he couldn’t do in the UK.
Despite the distance, Harry and Meghan still honor their royal connections in their own way. They participated in the Diana Award to remember Princess Diana. However, their separate activities show that family tensions still exist.
The future of Archie and Lilibet’s relationship with the royal family is uncertain. Some hope that shared values, like honoring Diana’s memory, could help bring the family back together. For now, the children are growing up away from the royal spotlight, with their connection to the monarchy mainly through their family name.
