Speaking with The Sun, royal expert and author Hugo Vickers claims that, in fact, it isn’t Harry who has decided that Archie and Lilibet won’t get to visit the UK, but Meghan.
Vickers argues that Meghan has kept her children away from the Royal Family so that she can ‘stay in control’ and raise them as Americans rather than expose them to anything royal.
“I mean, I’m sure [Meghan just] wants to be in control,” Vickers said. “I think the problem for the children, as I see it, is that yes they’re probably having a very nice time being brought up in California. I’m sure it’s a lovely place to be brought up.”
Prince Harry returns to UK without Archie and Lilibet
The royal expert added: “But there’s going to come a point when they realise that they are actually cousins to the British Royal Family, and that they could have taken part in all the sort of things that Prince William’s children take part in. And you know they don’t, even, as far as I can see, know, their cousins at all, and that surely must be quite tricky and disappointing really, for them.”
Vickers concluded that not only have Archie and Lilibet not met their grandfather, King Charles, but they’ve also never spent time with their mother’s father, Thomas Markle.
“It’s really up to Prince Harry to make the effort. If he wants his children to meet him [Charles], he should make the effort to bring them across,” Vickers claimed. “Simple as that. The King would, I’m sure, always make time for him if he did that, but there doesn’t seem to be a great willingness to do so.”
On Monday, Harry briefly returned to the UK for the WellChild Awards. There the Duke presented an award for an Inspirational Child aged 4 to 6 and delivered a speech during the event at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London. As per GB News, Harry requested that the location be kept a secret until the day of the event because of security measures.
Days before, Harry attended a string of engagements in New York City, including making a speech at The Diana Award, an award that celebrates young people who work to improve the lives of others.
Royal expert says Prince Archie & Princes Lilibet ‘may never set foot in the UK’
Neither Mehan nor their children accompanied Harry in New York City, nor on the recent trip to the UK. According to royal expert Charles Rae, the fact that Harry embarked on “royal engagements” without his wife is “interesting.”
Sadly, the former royal correspondent stated that Meghan may never return to the UK again – and the same goes for Archie and Lilibet.
“In terms of Meghan, I’m of the school that does not believe that Meghan will ever return to this country,” Charles Rae told GB News. “And by implication, it means that the children, unless they’re much older, will not be back in this country for the for the foreseeable future.”
The royal expert claimed that the Duchess has had “plenty of opportunities” to accompany her husband back to the UK but has “decided she doesn’t want to.”
Her most recent visit was for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022.
“She’s had plenty of ways that she could return with the Duke of Sussex, and she’s decided that she doesn’t want to. She’s made one stop over in this country at an airport when Harry was here, he picked her up at the airport, and they flew off for some sort of royal visit,” Rae added.
“But, no, I don’t believe that she ever wants to come back to this country, which is a great pity. But she’s made her bed, she wants to lie in it, and she’s going to carry on staying in California.”
Archie and Lilibet to inherit millions
Speaking of the luxurious life of the Sussexes and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet won’t have to struggle when they grow up. Besides the many business ventures their parents have been involved in, it’s been reported that they already have millions to their name.
Prince Harry received around $10 million from a family trust fund set up by the late Queen Mother for his 40th birthday. He was also handed millions after his mother tragically passed away – and it appears that Harry has a plan in store for his children.
According to a GB News source, Harry will ensure his son and daughter inherit millions of pounds. The money he got from his great-grandmother’s trust fund is not for him to use but for his children.
“He wants to put the inheritance away for their future, especially for Archie and Lili,” the source told GB News.
