As children of the heir to the throne, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis have lived their lives in the spotlight. While they appear to be close to many members of the royal family, it appears that Princess Kate and Prince William's children have not had the opportunity to bond with Princess Meghan and Prince Harry's children.

According to a new report in The Sun's Fabulous magazine, George, Charlotte, and Louis simply never had the chance to get to know their cousins Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Archie and Lilibet live with their parents, Meghan and Harry, in California, so the children had little opportunity to bond. It is very sad that the Welsh children basically know very little about their cousins across the pond and never get to know them," royal family writer Phil Dampier alleged in Fabulous.

"It is unlikely that George Charlotte and Louis ever met Archie and Lilibet.

Since stepping down from their senior royal roles, Prince Harry and Meghan have become somewhat estranged from the rest of the royal family. As a result, Kate and William's children reportedly did not attend the event in Windsor. Dampier claims that "despite being invited to Lilibet's first birthday party at Frogmore Cottage, they did not go."

The magazine also suggests that George, Charlotte, and Louis had formed a close bond with Zara and Mike Tindall's children, Mia, Lena, and Lucas. The children of Zara and Mike Tyndall replaced Archie and Lilibet as the closest cousins of George, Charlotte, and Louis."

Royal experts also claimed that Kate and William's children really enjoyed spending time with the Tyndall family. He continued, "At Christmas at Sandringham, at events like Trooping the Colour, at state functions, and on vacation at Balmoral, the cousins play together and get along well.

Dampier further mused, "It's something Archie and Lilibet miss, so much so that in a few years, when they grow up, I wonder if they will start asking their parents why they are estranged from the royal family. Sadly, it seems unlikely that this situation will be resolved anytime soon. For example, Prince Harry recently revealed his belief that it would be "too dangerous" for Princess Meghan to return to the UK without adequate security. Prince Harry apparently believes that he may not be able to visit Buckingham Palace with the intention of protecting his children from the potential dangers they may encounter.
