Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, remain largely removed from royal life, living a private existence in California. The couple’s decision to leave the Royal Family, accompanied by their public criticisms, has had consequences for their children’s relationship with their UK relatives, including limited contact with King Charles and their cousins, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
King Charles’ Desire to Build a Relationship
King Charles reportedly longs to connect with Archie and Lilibet but faces obstacles, as Harry is hesitant to bring his children to the UK due to security concerns. Charles, described as valuing family deeply, has met Archie only a few times and Lilibet just once.
Commitment to Privacy
Harry and Meghan have prioritized shielding their children from the spotlight. While they have shared occasional glimpses of family life—such as in their Netflix series—they rarely release photos or videos of Archie and Lilibet. Harry remains committed to protecting his children from risks and ensuring their privacy.
Heartwarming Moments
Recently, fans heard Archie and Lilibet’s voices for the first time in a touching video Meghan shared while grieving the loss of her dog, Guy. The children sang a sweet song in memory of the pet, moving fans to tears.
A Life in California
Since leaving the UK, Harry and Meghan have built a new life in Montecito, California, focusing on privacy and raising their children away from the royal spotlight. Despite this, questions remain about whether Archie and Lilibet will choose to engage with royal life as they grow older.
