A source close to the Duke of Sussex, 41, made reference to Prince William’s children — Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet’s cousins — and their ties to the royal family, as they described Harry’s heartache. The insider said: “Harry feels his children are missing out on the extensive family network that their cousins are enjoying. “Harry wants his children to have the very best education. He has retained his closest friendship group of confidants from his days at school at Ludgrove and Eton. He wants that for his own children… Archie and Lili are having a lovely time in California, but Harry is very sad that they are missing out on life with the rest of their family.” Yet Meghan Markle, 44, portrayed a picture of domestic happiness by sharing two charming …

Queen Elizabeth’s real reaction to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle naming their daughter ‘Lilibet’ – exclusive

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s decision to name their daughter Lilibet has long divided opinion in royal circles.  But it seems her namesake, the late Queen Elizabeth II, was completely on board with it, according to a royal author. Lilibet was the Queen’s childhood nickname, an intimate moniker only used by those closest to her.  Speaking on HELLO!‘s A Right Royal Podcast, author Gyles Brandreth, a close friend of the late monarch, said the Queen responded to the news as any great-grandmother would.  Gyles, who is the author of the new book, Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait, said the Queen had a very heartwarming reaction when she was told of the name, responding: “That’s lovely.” He said: “I do know that when she heard they were calling her Lili, she said, ‘Oh that’s lovely. Lili, that’s lovely, isn’t it?’ There was no confusion. In a way, to picture the Queen you’ve got to think of a country woman of her generation. You’ve got to think of a grandmother. So her response would be a grandmother’s response.“ …

Prince Harry’s fears that Prince William could strip Archie and Lilibet of their titles revealed

Prince Harry’s fears that Prince William could strip Archie and Lilibet of their titles revealed

Prince Harry feared that his brother Prince William could show “no mercy” towards his family after Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was stripped of his titles, a royal author has claimed.  In his new book, Betrayal: Power, Deceit And The Fight For The Future Of The Royal Family, Tom Bower explores the “split between the Houses of Sussex and Windsor”. Betrayal, which is published on 26 March, investigates whether the “broken bonds” between Prince William and Kate, and Harry and Meghan, can ever be repaired. A spokesperson for the Sussexes has denied the claims in the book, criticising the author for his “fixation” on the couple.  In one passage, the royal biographer describes Prince Harry’s anticipated reaction in the US to news that Andrew had been stripped of his titles on 30 October – and the realisation it meant his own royal status was “no longer invincible”.  It meant anything was possible in the future, including putting the titles of Harry’s children at risk. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced that Archie, six, and Lilibet, four, would use …

Why Prince William ‘did not meet’ his niece Princess Lilibet

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s daughter Princess Lilibet – who will turn five in June – is said to have never met one of her closest relatives. The young royal joined her parents on her one and only trip to the UK four years ago – but since her birth in 2021, it’s believed Lilibet has never got to meet her uncle, Prince William.  Harry and Meghan travelled with both their children to the UK in June 2022 for the late Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations. During the family’s visit, LIlibet, who was one at the time, met her great-grandmother and her grandfather King Charles for the first time in-person. However, it’s believed the Sussexes and Waleses did not meet in private during the trip, which royal author Russell Myers explained their limited contact in his new book, William & Catherine: The Intimate Inside Story. © @meghanHarry with his daughter Lilibet “As Harry and Meghan welcomed the birth of their daughter Lilibet on 4 June 2021, William and Catherine sent a gift and a …

She captioned it: “These two + Archie = my forever Valentines” and a heart emoji. In the photo, Harry holds his daughter in his arms as she holds a bunch of red balloons. It is the first time Lilibet’s face can be seen clearly from the side. But while several fans went into a frenzy over the adorably new snap, others blasted the Duchess and Prince Harry for contradicting their claims about their privacy and that of their children, particularly online. One user wrote on Instagram: “So after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moaned on and on about leaving the Royal Family for ‘privacy’, wanting to give their kids freedom. They saddle them down with Prince and Princess titles even though they live in America. “Then you have Prince Harry breaking down in sobs with parents who actually lost kids to cyberbullying and preach about the dangers of kids and social media.  “You now decide to showcase Lily’s face? I guess the money is not trickling in as fast as it was before huh guys?” …

William and Kate share Valentine’s portrait as Meghan offers rare glimpse of Harry with Lilibet | UK News

The Prince and Princess of Wales have marked Valentine’s Day by sharing a portrait as Meghan posted a rare picture of Prince Harry with their daughter, Lilibet.
