Any royals hoping for a happy family reunion this summer and contacting baby Archie again will be very disappointed.
While Prince Harry is expected to attend the prince’s 100th birthday celebration and the Trooping of Color in June, as well as the long-awaited unveiling of a statue in memory of Diana at Kensington Palace in July, a new report states that his wife Meghan Markle and son Archie will be living in California.
However, this is not due to hard feelings (of which there are allegedly many). Sources told the Daily Mail that she would not attend for “personal and practical” reasons.
According to the newspaper, there is concern among the family that the couple’s involvement in larger events could detract from them.
“It must be strongly emphasized that there is still an element of uncertainty about this due to the unpredictable COVID situation, but the understanding is that the Duke is likely to return on his own,” a source said. “It’s a personal and practical decision by the couple, but it will definitely help officials find a fairly difficult situation.”
Another source told the newspaper: ‘Her Majesty made it very clear when they left the UK that Harry and Meghan are still very much loved members of her own family and that they would be very welcome to attend family events. . This is still true. In practice, however, it comes with the need for a certain degree of diplomacy. There is still a great distance between Harry and many family members, especially his brother. Nobody wants to repeat the Commonwealth service. ”
Harry and Meghan seem to have been cold-blooded by Prince William and Kate Kate Middleton last year – the first time the couple have seen each other since Megxit.
This summer is the first time Harry has seen his family since early March, but they have not brought Archie along. The family has not seen the child since he was six months old.
“Harry wants to come back for the big birthdays of the Queen and Prince Philip,” a third source told Mail. ‘But it seems likely that it will be just him. When Meghan returns, the feeling is that it will overshadow the opportunity. People would just watch the ‘drama’ of everything. Of course, she would be welcome, but a decision not to come would delay that headache for at least a while. ‘
Harry is expected to stay at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, the house he and Meghan decided to keep as a British base.
