An insider has called Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet’s Californian upbringing ‘disappointing’.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have now made their base in Montecito following their departure from the Royal Family in 2020, and although they are regularly spotted out at engagements for the Invictus Games and other charities, their family life in the Golden State is generally kept under wraps.
But an insider said the couple have different ideas on parenting – with Meghan wanting to raise them as true Americans and expose them to little royal influence.
Hugo Vickers called their upbringing “disappointing” as it appears they don’t know about their bloodline and are both missing out on royal events.

He told The Sun: “There’s going to come a point when they realise that they are actually cousins to the British Royal Family, and that they could have taken part in all the sort of things that Prince William’s children take part in.
“And you know they don’t, even, as far as I can see, know, their cousins at all, and that surely must be quite tricky and disappointing really, for them.”
The Duchess of Sussex, 42, has not been on UK soil since 2022 and made no attempt to return throughout 2023 and, so far, this year either.
It has also “never been confirmed” whether Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis have ever met Princess Lilibet.
