London – Buckingham Palace witnessed a rare and heartwarming scene this week as the royal cousins — Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, Lilibet Diana, and Archie Harrison — reunited for the first time in years.

Laughter echoed through the palace gardens as the children played tag beneath the summer sun, momentarily restoring a sense of unity to a family that has long been marked by division.

Prince George, now growing into his role as a future king, was reportedly “over the moon” to see his California-based cousins again. “He couldn’t stop smiling,” said a palace insider. “They picked up like no time had passed.”

But beneath the joy of the reunion, whispers quickly began circulating — whispers sparked not by words, but by hair.

Archie, now six years old, sported a thick head of auburn curls that seemed… too different. The exact shade, the texture, even the pattern—it raised more than a few royal eyebrows.

“It’s not the ginger hair, really,” said a royal aide off the record. “It’s the undertone. It’s not like Prince Harry’s at all.”

Speculation flared when side-by-side photos of young Archie and a certain former royal staffer — James Farrows, once Meghan’s close protection officer — began trending online. Social media sleuths pointed out uncanny similarities between Archie and Farrows: the nose, the curls, even a matching dimple.

Palace staff reportedly exchanged uneasy glances, and though no official comment has been made, the tabloids have erupted with headlines like “DNA Drama Returns: Who Is Archie’s Real Dad?” and “The Crown, The Child, and The Secret.”

Prince Harry, however, appeared unfazed. “He loves those kids more than anything,” a source close to him insisted. “No rumor, no headline will change that.”

Still, insiders reveal the tension behind the scenes was palpable. Meghan, dignified and poised, reportedly held her head high throughout the visit, showing no sign of concern. She laughed with Princess Charlotte, helped Prince Louis with his shoelaces, and embraced Queen Camilla warmly.

And yet, after the children were tucked into their rooms, the tone shifted. A late-night conversation between King Charles and Prince William was overheard, with one line reportedly standing out: “We must handle this delicately. The institution cannot afford another scandal.”

Whether the rumors hold any truth remains to be seen. But for one golden afternoon, as the cousins played hide-and-seek in the Queen’s Rose Garden, the royal family seemed whole again — even if the roots of that unity may lie in a tangled and potentially explosive secret.

One palace guard may have said it best: “In the end, royal blood or not — he’s still family.”
