Although Prince Harry and Meghan Markle found much peace in renunciating the palace, it is not peace that their children will inherit from their parents. Their parents' quest for privacy and autonomy has come at a price: a severed tie to their royal lineage. While being completely shut off from their royal connections, the Sussex couple have drifted far away, further alienating their royal children from Buckingham Palace. This deliberate break from tradition has raised questions about the future of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. 

The consequences of this choice will shape their children's lives forever, or so says a royal expert.

While speaking with GBN’s Ban Leo, Royal Expert, Charles Rae affirmed Meghan Markle's return to the UK is highly unlikely. Rae believed the Duchess would not revisit the country, anytime soon, thus implying her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, will also stay away for the foreseeable future. This decision may permanently sever their royal connections. Furthermore, Rae expressed concerns about the other complexities that might come along with the Sussex family's long-term distance from British royal traditions.

A royal insider concurred, suggesting the Sussexes are "condemning their own children" to miss out on their royal heritage. With Markle's unlikely return, her kids also might have to grow up disconnected from their British roots. Not just the Duchess, Prince Harry too, has made it clear about why his family's UK days are over. The prolonged absence could have lasting implications for their relationships with royal relatives and their future roles within the monarchy.

However, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, despite relinquishing royal duties, prioritize teaching their children valuable life lessons.

The family focuses on experiential learning through outdoor activities, travel, and community engagement. Unlike relishing behind closed walls, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet’s hobbies include enjoying hiking, going on beach trips, and gardening, fostering a sense of normalcy. With that, the Sussexes aim to instill empathy, kindness, and resilience in their children.

Now resembling a typical American family, the Sussexes have found the anonymity they craved. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry take their kids out on roads to witness public processions and rallies trying to blend with the crowd. Although a down-to-earth approach, the Sussexes have always allowed their kids to break free from rules and protocols and architect their own.
