Prince Harry accused of 'denying' Archie and Lilibet essential part of childhood
Prince Harry has been accused of "denying" his children the chance to see the Royal Family amid their bitter feud.
The Duke of Sussex stepped down from The Firm back in 2020, before moving to America with his wife Meghan Markle. The couple have since issued a number of attacks against the royals, leading to strained family relations.
Harry has made several brief returns to the UK, although he is yet to reconcile with his brother Prince William. Meghan, however, is yet to reunite with the Royal Family and has stayed in Montecito with their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet whenever Harry has returned to his home country. Royal commentator Arthur Edwards has blasted the Sussexes for not introducing their children to the royals.

Lilibet was born in Santa Barbara, California, in 2021 and she has only met her grandfather King Charles once, during the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

Speaking to The Sun, Arthur said: "[Harry's] not only denying the King seeing his grandchildren. He's denying Archie and Lilibet from seeing their cousins George, Charlotte and Louis."
Arthur said it's unlikely Meghan is "ever going to come here again" and worried what that might mean for Archie and Lilibet. He continued: "They've got royal titles now. One's a prince, the other's a princess. They should be more respectful. Certainly, Harry should bring them to see the King whenever he can."

Speaking in the new Hulu documentary Prince Harry's Mission: Life, Family and the Invictus Games, he said the lack of a connection is due to the long distance between them.
"Unfortunately for the King, there is really no relationship between the King and his grandchildren because he hasn't had the opportunity to forge that relationship," he said. "Some might say that he should have made more of an effort and reached out.
"I know he spends a lot of time when he gets the chance with William's children, George, and Louis, and I'm sure he would spend as much time if he could if Harry and Meghan were based in England. But they're not. So, I just don't think there is any particular bond between them."
