Even though they are still very young, Princess Lilibet and Prince Archie have already been in the spotlight for years. Given their parents, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moved the family to the US and later criticized the royal family, several experts warned the couple that it may be their children who would take the biggest hit when they grew up.
Harry and Meghan gave their children royal titles, which they argued were their “birthright.” Though, they have a very strained relationship with their family in the UK, as they have barely spent any time their grandfather, King Charles, cousins, or uncle.

Harry and Meghan’s decision to move to the US to start a new life – but was that the best thing for their children? According to a royal expert, Meghan Markle now fears that it will significantly affect her children in the future — as they might turn around and blame her for how their lives turned out.
Harry & Meghan – children Archie & Lilibet
Meanwhile, not all royal children are getting the same amount of attention. Two of them are not being followed around by the media because of their parents’ decision.
Meghan fears for her children’s safety if returning to the UK
Like Angela Levin, a majority of members of the public didn’t think giving their children royal titles was right.

Harry and Meghan have only been back in the UK on a few occasions since leaving the royal family. Lilibet celebrated her first birthday at Frogmore Cottage – the house Harry and Meghan were evicted from – and Archie lived his first year in the UK before his family moved to the US.
In just a few weeks, Harry and Meghan are believed to travel to London to be part of the Invictus Games 10th Anniversary Service at St. Paul’s Cathedral.
If reports were to be believed, they had plans to bring their children with them, and there has even been claimed that William and Kate have asked them to bring their children, not least so they can spend time with their UK cousins, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
“On the other hand, we should always remember that phrase – ‘never say never,’ because it will come back to haunt you when you change your mind, especially if you are a public figure like Meghan,” Quinn told the Mirror.
“A friend of the couple – one of Meghan’s few aristocratic friends from her time in the UK – told me 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 as working royals.”
Time will tell if Archie and Lilibet will want any part of royal life, which their parents didn’t. But if they do, we are sure that their cousins, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, would welcome them with open arms.
