KEY POINTS

  • Queen Elizabeth is not sad over Archie snub
  • Queen Elizabeth doesn't like babies
  • Queen Elizabeth is not upset over Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's decision to not bring Archie back to the UK 

Queen Elizabeth is unlikely to have been sad over Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s alleged Archie snub.

Throughout the past couple of weeks, there have been reports suggesting that Her Majesty was tearful when she found out that she wouldn’t be able to see Archie for a long time.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been accused of keeping Archie away from the monarch and the other members of the royal family after they were banned from using the Sussex Royal brand. But a source said that this unlikely to have been the case.

Today” international correspondent Keir Simmons said that it is unlikely for Prince Philip’s wife to complain about not seeing Archie since she’s not especially fond of babies.

“Some of the British press is trying to paint Her Majesty and Meghan’s apparent decision to not bring baby Archie here to the UK as disappointing for the Queen. I’ve got to tell you, that is very unlikely. Anyone who knows the biography of the Queen will know that she really isn’t that into babies,” Simmons said.

The expert also said that Prince Harry and Markle shouldn’t be criticized for not bringing Archie with them when they traveled to the United Kingdom earlier this week for a series of engagements. After all, no one is supposed to bring their baby on a work trip.

“She’s not big into babies, I promise you. As to whether or not Harry and Meghan should have brought Archie with them, my wife Jess said this morning, 'who brings a baby on a work trip?’” Simmons said.

Meanwhile, Woman’s Day New Zealand claimed that Prince Harry has been disregarding his loved ones, and senior members of the royal family are convinced that Markle is to blame.

“William and Charles have even suggested that Meghan has been brainwashing him – it’s as if he’s a completely different person to the warmhearted Harry he used to be. They feel he’s been overcome with anger, bitterness, and aggression. No-one can quite believe how quickly he’s turned and how poorly he’s behaved,” the source said.
