Royal Expert Speaks to Report That Baby Archie Has Only Met Royal Cousins 'a Handful of Times'

A royal expert is speaking to the rumor that baby Archie, the son of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, has only met Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis two times.

“Well, look, we know there have clearly been a lot of family tensions, rifts, fallouts behind the scenes,” royal expert Katie Nicholl told ET. “I think throughout all of this, Kate has tried very much to be the peacemaker. Remember that she and Harry were at one point incredibly close. She, Harry, and William were a very special trio and I think she’s very keen to try and see that rift closed up. And at some point down the future, there will be a closeness between the four of them, if not for themselves, for the royal cousins because it’s emerged that … the Cambridge children have actually only met Archie a handful of times. I suppose that’s down to the Sussexes being in Windsor, the Cambridges being in London.”

We know the first meeting between the royal cousins happened back in July of 2019, two months after Archie‘s birth.
