Prince William‘s kids are old enough to remember Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
According to royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis likely know how fractured their father and uncle’s relationship is.
“They would subsequently undoubtedly be aware of Harry and are likely to know or have read that there are serious problems when it comes to their uncle, not to mention aunt Meghan,” the journalist told Daily Express.

“We understand that William has not spoken to Harry for over three years and that the rift remains deep,” Fitzwilliams emphasized.
“When one is very young and is aware there are family problems, there are subjects it is simply not tactful to bring up,” he continued. “The subject of uncle Harry may well be one of them.”
“Obviously, George, Charlotte and Louis were 6, 4 and 1 when Harry and Meghan stepped down as senior working royals in early 2020. They were very young,” the expert said.
The Prince of Wales and Kate Middleton‘s three children probably have fond memories with the Duke of Sussex.

“I think it is probably impossible to be unaware of him, he is, as we see when he participates in certain charitable events, famously good with children,” Fitzwilliams noted.
George, Charlotte and Louis are also losing out on making memories with their cousins, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
“Archie and Lili are having a lovely time in California, but Harry is very sad that they are missing out on life with the rest of their family,” a source told Daily Mail via GB News.
“Harry feels his children are missing out on the extensive family network that their cousins are enjoying,” the insider said.
In the years since Harry and Meghan moved to America, King Charles III hasn’t spent much time with Archie and Lilibet.
“From Charles’s perspective, this is about repairing a relationship with Harry and building a relationship with his grandchildren,” a source told the Examiner. “He’s highly motivated in that sense.”
After the Spare author publicly claimed his was worried for his niece and youngest nephew for playing second-fiddle to their older brother, an insider claimed William was furious.
“William is ferociously protective of his wife and kids, even the whiff of Harry dragging them into his woe-is-me narrative gets his hackles up,” a source told In Touch.

Harry and the Suits star have also complained about their little ones not getting the same advantages as their cousins.
“Hearing that his brother has been complaining about his kids getting more access to family perks really set William off,” the insider said.
Per the source, the future king of England thinks “Harry only has himself to blame for the situation.”
“He’s [Harry] now grasping at anything he can to try and shirk responsibility,” the insider claimed.
“They’re in for a rude awakening if they think [William will] stand back and let them drag his wife and their children into their chaos,” the insider claimed.
