kidnapping or harm,” the friend added. “As a father and husband, Harry is resolute in his commitment to preventing history from repeating itself.”
Prince Archie & Princess Lilibet branded the “cool cousins abroad”
While Harry and Meghan can and will decide what their children’s lives are like until they are 18, there is little they can do after that. That said, a source told the Express that the Sussexes have a plan set in place for their children.
According to an “extremely well-placed” Express source, the Sussexes will give their children free rein as soon as they turn 18. At that point, Archie and Lilibet will effectively be open to choose whatever future path suits them.
“Once they reach the age of maturity, it’s going to be very much about what they want to do, and what they choose to support,” they added. “I suppose it will be like the cool cousins abroad who can live their lives the way they wish while the Wales children will be more about duty and formality.”
A Us Weekly source offered some insight into Archie and Lilibet’s lives, saying they are “well-mannered.” Moreover, the source said Archie is “sweet and curious and playful,” while Lilibet is “vibrant and happy.”
As touched upon earlier in this article, it’s no secret that Harry and Meghan have made the call not to take their children on trips to the UK. Unfortunately, this means they’re unable to see any of their family in the British monarchy.
For Archie and Lilibet, not visiting the UK means they haven’t built relationships with their grandfather, King Charles. Perhaps more concerning, they’ve also thus far missed out on forming bonds with their royal cousins, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
Several royal experts have criticized Harry and Meghan for not allowing their children the opportunity to forge bonds with their UK-based family.
