Ever since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced that they were stepping down as senior members of the royal family, the couple have been accused by many of insulting the Royal Family over and over again.
Watch: Queen forced to ‘contain’ Meghan Meghan Markle
Now, the couple have reportedly upset the Queen by choosing not to bring Archie to the UK while they undertake their final engagements in the UK.
But, Royal commentator Angela Mollard suggests that if this is a regular occurrence it could indeed be very insulting for not just the Royal Family but for everyone.
“If they have to keep coming back [to the UK] which of course they do, and they don’t bring [Archie] it’s such an insult,” she says on New Idea’s podcast Royals.
“It’s such an insult to his family, it’s such an insult to the British public. I mean we haven’t seen a photo of Archie now since early in January when they posted that picture of Harry holding his son with the little hat on.”
Of course, the couple are hoping that this move away from royal life will allow Archie to have a normal upbringing, but Ange suggests that it could actually have the opposite effect.
“What harry wanted for his son was to have a normal childhood and yet he is not really having a normal childhood because he has no connections with his cousins,” she says.
“It seems to me he is going to be living a life like Meghan’s…She was quite isolated, I mean if you watch the documentary with Thomas Markle the lasting impression of Meghan was that she grew up very much as an only child.
“She didn’t really have siblings, it was sort of these direct relationships with her parents. Of course, this gave her tremendous confidence.
“But if what Harry has always said, which is that he wants his children to have an upbringing like Zara Phillips children and Peter Phillips children you know a happy go lucky country upbringing which that family enjoys down in Gloucester in England, he is not going to get that.”
