A new poll has emerged regarding Prince William, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet following their return to the UK. It suggests that royal supporters have strong opinions about how he should handle the situation. The Prince of Wales has not publicly seen or contacted his brother Prince Harry’s children since late 2022, around the time of Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral.
Royal fans urge Prince William not to get familiar with Archie and Lilibet
As Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet settle into their new life in Britain, Prince William has been advised against getting to know them. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex came back to the UK last month. Their children are now preparing to start at their new UK school very soon.
The siblings, now seven and five, barely know their royal relatives, as they lived in California until last month. Archie was born in the UK in 2019, but he left for the US less than a year later. Lilibet, on the other hand, was born in 2021, twelve months after the family settled in the US.
The Daily Express recently asked royal fans whether Prince William should take time to get to know his younger brother’s two children. Of the 2,880 people who voted between 9 am on September 6 and 2.15 pm on September 9, a staggering 2,485 said he should not. Of all those who voted, 290 were in favor of him meeting them, and a further 105 said that they did not know.
On the subject of the royal heir, one fan commented, “William, Catherine and all three of their beautiful children must never form any kind of relationship with those kids.” Another wrote, “Why should he. The Sussexes have levied insults at both he and Catherine and William has maintained his cool approach not responding.”
Meanwhile, a royal watcher suggested, “I think the cousins should get to know each other (probably will at an older age), as they are the innocents in this. They should meet at KC’s residence without PH & MM there. This way, PH & MM will not be able to publicize the visit or have photos.”
