Meghan Markle, 39, and Prince Harry’s son Archie Harrison are expected to arrive in the United States miles away from his royal cousins. After Archie’s birth in May 2019, royal fans were excited to see him grow up alongside Prince George, Seven, Princess Charlotte, Five, and Prince Louis.
However, Meghan and Harry’s royal stepdown and subsequent relocation to the States means that Archie is unlikely to see many of his cousins grow up.
While Prince William and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge both meet Archie, it is not known if he was ever introduced to George, Charlotte and Louis.
Meghan and Harry have kept their UK home Frogmore Cottage and expected to return to Britain for Royal Family events in the wake of their retreat – but the coronavirus pandemic has halted current international travel plans.
While it would be reported that the Sussexes have accepted an invitation this summer to stay with the Queen and Philip at Balmoral, the tour is now understood from the cards.

Constitutional expert Iain MacMarthanne declared that by 2013 all royals were required to seek permission to marry, regardless of where they stood as a rule of succession.
He said: “Before the succession to the Crown Act 2013 all the descendants of George II, under the terms of the Royal Marriages Act 1772, except in the case of a princess who was married into a foreign royal family, had to obtain permission of the sovereign get married to preserve their rights one after another.
The 2013 Act sought to bring several pieces of outdated and discriminatory legislation regarding the monarchy up to date.
“By this Law, male primogenitators were abolished, whereby the firstborn child, regardless of gender, was inherited.”

“The disqualification of inheritance from the throne by marrying a Catholic was removed; and the Royal Marriages Act of 1772 was repealed, with the result that only the first six in the line to the throne were required to obtain permission from the throne. to gain sovereignty. “
Prince William’s children are currently third, fourth and fifth in line on the throne and will also need permission to get married.
However, there is a chance that George, Charlotte and Louis Archie could be exempt from the royal rule if one of them gets married and has children for him.
Thus, Archie would shift the line of succession.
Mr. MacMarthanne said: “Should the children of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge marry, they will be required to seek the consent of the sovereign.
“Instead of moving away from this demand, the Cambridge children will come closer when their grandfather, the Prince of Wales, inherits the throne.”
The only way Archie can be freed from this obligation is if George, Charlotte or Louis get married and have children for him who will put him on the line of pursuit.
Mr. MacMarthanne declared: “Indeed, with this movement, as things stand at present, it might be expected that the Duke and Duchess of the son of Sussex, if he were married, would have to seek the consent of the sovereign, except if one of his three cousins marries and has children first, because he will be sixth as a rule if his grandfather is king. “
