Bond added that Kate Middleton could’ve “persuaded” William into thinking that “life is too short for grudges.” However, she stated that Harry and his brother’s relationship is “almost irretrievable.”

“William has so much on his plate that I don’t think he has time to deal with Harry. But first steps matter. And though the brothers may never be close again, it doesn’t mean the future has to be full of bad blood. Catherine is right. Family should always be paramount,” Bond said.

Birthdays are always a great joy and the perfect way to spend quality time with your family. Gifts are naturally fun to receive, but in Harry’s case – as I’m sure all parents will agree – it’s his children that are the greatest gifts of all.

Prince Harry “playing the fullest part” as a father

Not knowing about all the drama rolled up in the ongoing royal feud is good for Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. But sadly, it has also come at a price. Archie and Lilibet’s relationship with their grandfather, King Charles, is reportedly non-existent. Charles has only met Lilibet once and is reportedly heartbroken about not being able to see his grandchildren.

The Sussexes have claimed several times that security issues are the one main reason as to why they won’t travel to the UK with their children. As for King Charles, jetting off to visit Harry, Meghan, Archie, and Lilibet in the US is almost impossible due to his schedule and health status after his recent cancer diagnosis.

Though many see Harry as the “villain” in the soap opera that is the feud between the Sussexes and the Royal Family, Jennie Bond states that fatherhood has transformed the Duke.

“I think he is relishing his role as a parent and playing the fullest part he can in the lives of his two tots,” Bond told OK!

“He’s lucky enough to be able to share most of their lives so I’m sure Harry is a devoted dad and no stranger to nappy changing or school runs. I think he finds the security and anchor in his little family that was sadly missing in his own broken childhood home.”

Harry went through many tragic moments in his childhood, not least the death of his mother, Princess Diana. Bond adds that it’s “hard to know” when the “damages wrought by his parents’ broken marriage” kicked in. The royal expert added that the “insecurities” in his own childhood have made Harry “determined” to give his children a perfect childhood.

Prince Harry’s “saddest part of exile” has to do with his children, expert claims

However, sadly, Bond also states that the fact that his and Meghan’s children aren’t getting to know the rest of their UK family because of what their parents have done is the “saddest part of their exile” in the US.

“At the moment, the children don’t know any difference, but as they grow up Harry and Meghan will have some delicate manoeuvring to negotiate to explain the situation. It must be something that troubles Harry as a dad,” Bond concluded.

“Imagine Archie, aged 15, telling his friends, ‘My grandpa is/was King! And my uncle is/will be King too.’ But he hardly knew or met them. How sad… and Meghan would have to bear the brunt of the responsibility for that.”

“I’m sure that, like Harry, she wants the very best for their children… and that will include an understanding of their background. I just hope that by the time Archie and Lili grow up, things will be calmer and the family more united, even if they continue to live thousands of miles apart. This is not the children’s fault or responsibility so let’s hope the adults can make it a better world for the next generation of royals.”

The fact that Archie and Lilibet don’t get to see their grandfather is one thing. However, that also affects their relationship with their cousins, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

Earlier this year, GB News royal editor Svar Nanan-Sen and royal expert Cameron Walker spoke on the same subject.

“Archie and Lilibet have no relationship with George, Charlotte and Louis”

“Archie and Lilibet have no relationship with George, Charlotte and Louis – and they’re cousins. So this this feud between Harry and William and Kate and Meghan is creating a rift down the entire family that is crossing generations,” Nanan-Sen said.

Cameron Walker added: “George, Charlotte and Louis are not going to have that with their two cousins, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet – it’s really sad to see, and it’s also not their fault.”

“It’s going to be interesting in 20 years’ time to see if there is any relationship between Archie and Lilibet – if they stay in California – and the three royal children here in the UK.”
