Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s relationship with Prince William and Kate Middleton remains strained, deeply affecting their families. Archie and Lilibet are growing up in California, far from their UK relatives, with little to no connection to cousins George, Charlotte, and Louis. Meghan reportedly declined William and Kate’s invitation to visit the UK, citing safety and anxiety concerns.

King Charles has only met Lilibet once and is said to be heartbroken over the limited relationship with his grandchildren. Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan face criticism for enrolling their children in an elite California school, seen by some as contradicting their advocacy for equality. The ongoing family rift continues to cross generations, leaving many saddened by the lack of unity.
