The children of Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry, Lilibet and Archie, are growing up as typical Americans in California, away from their royal roots. Since Meghan and Harry's departure from the British royal family in 2020, their children have been living a life detached from royal obligations. However, royal expert Phil Dampier presents an assessment that could see their roles shift over time.
Despite their current detachment, Archie and Lilibet retain a connection to the British monarchy. They are still seen as potential assets to the royal family, should the need arise. Dampier speculates that the children might eventually be called upon to participate in royal duties especially if the royal family is in a state of crisis. As they grow older, they may question the lack of relationship with their British relatives, which could open the door to possible royal engagements in future.
This speculation comes in light of the shrinking royal cast. With King Charles and Princess Kate facing health challenges, the question of who can step in becomes more pertinent. As sixth and seventh in line to the throne respectively, Archie and Lilibet's positions might evolve. Their potential climb up the royal hierarchy remains a possibility, given the uncertainty of future events.
On a personal note, Prince Harry is reportedly distressed by the growing chasm between his family in the U.K. and his own children. During his last visit to London, Harry chose to spend time with friends rather than his royal relatives, highlighting the extent of the estrangement. The situation reportedly weighs heavily on him, especially considering the impact on Archie and Lilibet's relationship with their cousins.
Recently, the Sussex family celebrated Princess Lilibet Diana's third birthday at their home in Montecito, California. The festivities were intimate, involving close friends and family, excluding British royal family members. Lilibet's names pay tribute to her royal heritage, with 'Lilibet' being Queen Elizabeth II's nickname and 'Diana' honoring her late grandmother, Princess of Wales.
As they grow up, the future roles of Archie and Lilibet in the royal family, if any, remain uncertain. Yet, the connection to their British origins cannot be ignored, and their potential participation in royal affairs may hinge on evolving circumstances and personal decisions.
- The royal author emphasizes that their involvement is not set in stone but retains the possibility. With positions that could see them move up the royal hierarchy, their roles could change drastically.
- Prince Harry's discontent with the estrangement from his family also plays a significant role. He is particularly upset about Archie and Lilibet missing out on relationships with their British cousins, which adds emotional weight to the matter.
