Meghan Markle’s fears for Archie and Lilibet justified due to possible ‘odd and perhaps sad’ outcome
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s children, Archie and Lilibet, have had very few opportunities to visit the UK and as a result, will have a limited relationship with their Royal cousins
Meghan Markle’s fears over her children Archie and Lilibet growing up to blame her for their lack of a relationship with their UK-based family is legitimate, a royal expert has said.
Veteran commentator and former long-serving BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond claims it would “undoubtedly seem rather odd and perhaps sad” if Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet grew up without really knowing King Charles, Prince William and their royal cousins. The US-based royal brother and sister have hardly visited the UK at all and not only is it feared they will miss out on building strong familial ties with their cousins, but experts also speculated whether they will ever be able to truly grasp their Royal lineage unless something changes.
Prince Harry has previously expressed his desire for his children to be aware of their heritage. However, an insider shared with Royal author and commentator Tom Quinn that “Meghan does miss some aspects of life in the UK and worries that her children will blame her if they never get to see their cousins and feel as adults that they have been deprived of what might have been a fun and meaningful existence in the UK.”

And former BBC Royal correspondent Jennie Bond believes this concern is “a legitimate point”. She told OK! magazine: “Children grow up and are innately curious about their heritage and background… and when your heritage is one of the most famous families in the world, it will undoubtedly seem rather odd and perhaps sad that you hardly know or remember them. Imagine Archie, aged 15, telling his friends, ‘My grandpa is/was King! And my Uncle is/will be King too.’ But he hardly knew or met them. How sad… and Meghan would have to bear the brunt of the responsibility for that.”
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s little girl, Princess Lilibet, marked her third birthday yesterday. Born on June 4, 2021, at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in California, she is the younger sister of Prince Archie and the granddaughter of Prince Charles.
Originally named Lilibet Diana Mountbatten Windsor, it was confirmed in 2023 that she and her older brother would carry princely titles, as their parents didn’t want to deny them their “birth right”. Despite being seventh in line to the throne, Lilibet has spent minimal time in the UK and holds the distinction of being the first of the late Queen’s great-grandchildren to be born overseas.

So, how would the young Royal have spent her special day? Jennie shared some insights.
“Three-year-old birthday parties are all about bouncy castles and little girls in princess dresses,” Jennie revealed. “Of course Lilibet is already a princess, but I’m sure her mum will still want to dress her up for her big day. After all, that’s half the fun of having a little girl. If Lilibet is anything like my three year old granddaughter, now is the time that she will be pining for a pet to cuddle…and a makeup bag full of child friendly (and washable) lipsticks and nail varnish. So I hope Harry is ready for guinea pig cage cleaning duties!”
