Prince Harry misses close royal family life for Archie, Lilibet

Prince Harry is reportedly dealing with the fact that his kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, do not have the same life growing up as he did.

According to reports, the Duke of Sussex is struggling with the reality that his children are growing up far away from the royal family and the close-knit environment he experienced during his own childhood.

An insider told The Mirror that Harry wishes Archie and Lilibet could spend more time with relatives in the UK, including their royal cousins.

"Harry feels his children are missing out on the extensive family network that their cousins are enjoying,” a source close to Harry said.

They added, "Harry wants his children to have the very best education. He has retained his closest friendship group of confidants from his days at school at Ludgrove and Eton.

“He wants that for his own children... 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."

Harry has also made it clear in past interviews that he enjoys raising his children in the US and believes the quieter lifestyle gives them freedoms he did not have growing up.

"I enjoy living and bringing my kids up here, it’s a part of my life that I never thought I was going to live and it feels as though it’s the life that my mum wanted for me,” said Harry.
