Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, who could be the Duke’s “way back” into the Royal Family, an expert has claimed
Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet might just be the golden ticket for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to rekindle their relationship with the Royal Family, according to commentators.
The Sussexes have been tipped to potentially use 2024 as a year to bridge gaps with the royals, and this strategy is seen as particularly poignant for the Duke. GB News’ Patrick Christys suggested in a January segment to Royal pundit Kinsey Schofield that the couple could “surely use the grandkids as a way back” into the Royal fold.
Schofield agreed, noting it would be the “perfect” route for a family reunion. “If Harry did want a way back in he could use the excuse that despite his personal beef with King Charles, he wants his children to have a relationship with their grandfather, it would be the perfect way back wouldn’t it?” she remarked.

She also recalled a moment when Prince Harry, upon learning of his eviction from Frogmore Cottage, reportedly questioned his father, “Well don’t forget according to reports when Prince Harry received the phone call that he was being evicted from Frogmore Cottage, he said to his father ‘don’t you want to see your grandkids anymore?'” reports the Express.
Schofield highlighted, “So you are exactly right if there is a way in, Harry is already thinking about it.”
Despite making two brief visits to the UK this year, including one in February after news broke of King Charles’ cancer diagnosis, Prince Harry has travelled without Meghan, who stayed behind in the US with the kids.
Meghan and Harry’s little ones have made only a handful of trips across the pond, with Lilibet’s inaugural visit occurring in June 2022.
Archie, unlike his sister Lilibet, was born in the UK in 2019 and moved to America when he was just a tot. The family now resides in a swanky £12million mansion in Montecito, California.
When Harry last visited the UK in May, Royal experts speculated that it was unlikely the Duke would bring his youngsters with him.
Royal expert Hannah Furness suggests this decision could be down to concerns over security.
While discussing the matter on an episode of A Right Royal Podcast, Hannah explained: “There is quite a heavy narrative that Meghan and the children won’t be coming back until they can resolve this security issue to their liking. But [Harry] will certainly be coming and going.”
