Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s children may be able to end royal row
Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet could help “forget bitter rows of the past” between Prince Harry and King Charles, an expert has claimed.

Having grandchildren is a “powerful tug on the heartstrings” and Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet may be a “compelling link” between Prince Harry and King Charles to reunite, an expert has claimed.
Ever since Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, relocated to the United States, their relationships with the Royal Family have been publicly strained. This is particularly true after the publishing of Harry’s explosive memoir, Spare, and the interview between the couple and Oprah Winfrey where allegations were made against the Firm.
As a result, Archie, five, and Lili, three, have hardly spent any time with their grandfather, King Charles. Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond says: “Little people who are part of your bloodline and have had nothing to do with family quarrels and tensions. Utterly innocent tiny tots who deserve to know and love their grandparents.”

Ms Bond suggested the young children could help end the royal feud.
She added: “So I can imagine that the King very much wants the chance to get to know Archie and Lilibet and to create some memories for them. The children may provide the most compelling link between Charles and Harry, and convince them both to forgive, if not forget, the bitter rows of the past.”
Jennie also hopes Harry does not follow Meghan’s example and becomes “obdurately estranged” from his family. Thomas Markle, Meghan’s father, became estranged from her after he was unable to walk her down the aisle for her marriage to Prince Harry. Thomas and Meghan have a strained relationship which came to a head after Thomas tried to collaborate with paparazzi to stage several photos before her wedding day.
