Prince Harry has put himself in something of a tricky position. Though it certainly seems as though he’s living his best life in the US, numerous reports suggest something completely different. The estranged prince misses his home, they claim, he misses his friends, and possibly the lavish life he left behind.

Well, now’s the time, Harry. Settle your differences with your family before it’s too late – and do it without your kids present.

Prince Harry’s feud with the Royal Family appears for all the world to be a never-ending debacle. As is always the case with such things, there are many conflicting reports concerning what’s really going on. Because of that, it’s impossible to entirely reject even the most outlandish of claims being made. Some of them actually might have some substance; some of them could very well be true.

Now, no one is saying that the things Harry felt he was the victim of while a working member of the Royal Family are acceptable – they’re not – but it seems to be that’s it clearly time for him to move on, forget about the past, and do his utmost to bury the hatchet with his family. These days he and Meghan Markle aren’t the most important people in their lives anymore, but rather their children, Prince Archie and Lilibet, who have become definite victims of the unrest involving their family.

Prince Harry ‘using his children’ to revenge’ King Charles

In one way, it feels like Harry has used his children to exact a sort of revenge on his father, King Charles. Harry and Meghan have said that security issues – meaning that they’re no longer afforded the security they feel they desperately need – are the main reason for them not visiting King Charles, their children’s grandfather, and the rest of their Royal Family in the UK.

Several times has Harry indicated that he doesn’t even feel safe bringing his wife back to his homeland. And yet they both traveled to Colombia on what some have labeled an unofficial royal trip.

Interestingly, the U.S. Department of State has branded Colombia a Level 3 travel advisory, meaning they’re actively urging visitors to “reconsider travel” due to “crime and terror.” To me me, that sounds like a way more dangerous place for the Sussexes to visit than the UK.

Harry and Meghan are preventing their children from seeing their grandfather – and their grandfather from seeing his grandchildren – which is concerning. Sure, Archie and Lilibet will make friends at school and the like in the US, but they’re effectively being kept apart from one entire half of their family…

Archie and Lilibet’s relationships with their cousins, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, as well as the other, older family members should be a priority for Harry and Meghan. Sadly, the Sussexes appear to have been blinded by their own frustrations aimed at the British monarchy, and they’re currently putting their children in a horrible situation for the future.

Why Prince Harry should leave the US – but without his children

When Archie and Lilibet eventually turn 18, will they ring the bell at Buckingham Palace, hoping for someone to let them in? Or will Harry and Meghan’s failure to acknowledge that their children should have the right to at least get to know their family mean that Archie and Liibet never even want to visit the UK, their royal cousins, aunts, uncles, and their grandfather?
