Sources suggest that when Prince William eventually becomes king, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s children—Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet—will be excluded from official royal duties.

The 43-year-old Prince of Wales began preparing for his future role after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022. Insiders claim William is shaping his own vision for the next generation of working royals, one that reportedly leaves six-year-old Archie and four-year-old Lilibet outside the royal fold.

A Shift in William’s Approach Toward Harry

“What has struck me the most recently is that he just doesn’t mention it at all,” a source told The Times, referring to William’s current attitude toward his estranged brother.

The insider explained that William once devoted significant emotional energy to his relationship with Harry, describing it as “very close” and admitting he was deeply upset by the fallout. “But he’s not letting it get to him at all anymore. It is a change. It’s sad, but it’s a much healthier space for him to be at,” they added.

Although William felt strong “anger” following the release of Harry’s memoir Spare in 2023, he is now said to be largely “indifferent” about their rift.
