Why Meghan Markle’s Son Will Become Closer To Prince Charles Than Kate’s Kids

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, will eventually grow up to become closer to Prince Charles than his three cousins.

On the podcast “Royals,” royal commentator Angela Mollard talked about Archie’s relationship with the heir to the throne after host Rebecca Hyde asked her a question.

“There’s talk Meghan and Harry’s baby will give Prince Charles an opportunity to be a different sort of grandad?” Hyde said. “Yes, a lot of talk about the fact that this baby will be the one that Prince Charles will feel close to. I can sort of see this, and I’ll tell you why,” Mollard replied.

According to the royal expert, Prince William and Middleton have a very secured back-up family or support team from the Middletons. The Duchess of Cambridge still communicates with her parents and siblings, and they also have a relationship with Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about Prince Harry and Markle’s son. The Duchess of Sussex has not spoken to her dad and her half-siblings in months. The only family she has is her mom, Doria Ragland.

By the looks of it, Archie will grow up much closer to Prince Harry’s side of the family and to his grandmother. But he may not have a relationship with Markle’s dad, Thomas Markle Sr., and his uncle and aunt.

“I’m very sure that Doria is an incredibly inclusive and warm-natured person, but that’s not the default family. The Middletons encapsulate family, and that’s one of the things that William is most attracted to about Kate is her sense of family,” Mollard said.

Meanwhile, Markle’s half-brother, Thomas Markle Jr., recently made headlines after he said that the “Suits” alum will fall out with her mom next. The statement was criticized by a royal expert who called Thomas Jr. disrespectful.

Markle is very close to her mom, and Ragland has been present in her daughter and grandson’s life since they became royals.
