A person who knows a lot about the royal family is worried that Meghan Markle could have had problems with her kids, Archie and Lilibet, in the future. People are wondering if the young royals will fully understand and respect their royal lineage since they haven’t spent much time with their cousins who live in the UK.
Concerns About the Royal Heritage
It’s been made clear by Prince Harry that he wants his kids to know and love their royal background. But it’s hard for them to get to the rest of the royal family because they live so far away. Tom Quinn, a royal author, told what a source told him, which was that Meghan Markle is worried about this split. Quinn, the source, said, “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.”
This was also said by Jennie Bond, who used to be a royal reporter for the BBC. In an interview with OK! Magazine, she said, “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.”
Emotional Effects in the Future
“Imagine Archie, aged 15, telling his friends, ‘My grandpa is/was King!'” Bond said, painting a moving picture of a possible sad future. Also, my uncle is or will be King. But he didn’t really know or meet them. That’s so sad, and Meghan would have to take most of the blame for it.
It’s possible that Meghan Markle will feel a lot of emotional weight as she tries to figure out how her family’s relationship with the British government works.
Partying for Lilibet’s third birthday
People are worried about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s royal ties, but they still celebrate important events in their children’s lives. Their youngest child, Princess Lilibet, just turned three years old. Lilibet is the granddaughter of Prince Charles and the younger sister of Prince Archie. She was born on June 4, 2021, at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in California. According to her parents, she and her brother would be princes because it was their “birth right.” This was proven in 2023.
Fun birthday activities and family customs
Jennie Bond gave us ideas about how Lilibet might have spent her third birthday. “Three-year-old birthday parties are all about bouncy castles and little girls in princess dresses,” Bond said. “Lilibet is already a princess, but I’m sure her mom will still want to dress her up for the big day.” That’s half the fun of having a little girl, after all.
Bond also thought about what Lilibet was interested in right now and how that might affect how she celebrated her birthday. “Now is the time when Lilibet, like my three-year-old granddaughter, will want a pet to cuddle with and a makeup bag full of kid-friendly lipsticks and nail polish that can be washed.” So I hope Harry is ready to clean the guinea pig cage!”
A party for all Americans
Bond also talked about how the birthday party was likely to be: “I expect her birthday will be full of sunshine, fights with her brother, fun games with her toddler friends, and delicious home cooking from her mom.” There will definitely be a very American event at their Montecito home. I expect to see a few famous people and a mellow party with, hopefully, some other children.
Bond also said he hoped to stay in touch with his family in the UK. “It would be nice to think the day might include a video call to Lilibet’s grandfather, King Charles, and hopefully some sort of gift has been arranged and will be delivered to Montecito for her birthday.”
Getting Through a Difficult Royal Legacy
There are still problems with keeping in touch with the royal family in the UK while Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are building their lives in the US. The couple is doing a great job of giving Archie and Lilibet a normal, loving childhood, but the emotional complexities of their royal background are still a big deal. How they handle these waters will definitely affect how their family grows and how their kids learn about their special place in history.
