Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are currently residing in the U.S. after they officially turned their backs on royal life at the end of March. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex packed their bags and moved to Los Angeles with their son Archie to make a fresh start.
But just because Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are no longer working royals, that does not mean that they are not part of the Royal Family anymore. In fact, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are still treasured members of the royal clan.
That being said, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were understood to have accepted an invitation from Queen Elizabeth to visit her and Prince Philip this summer. Unfortunately, their much-awaited reunion at Balmoral may not happen anymore due to the coronavirus outbreak.
This special trip would have given Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip a chance to spend quality time with Archie. The doting grandparents have not seen Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s son face to face since last November.
Just like everyone else, Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and the rest of the royal family members are also following the implemented lockdown. This means that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex couldn’t leave the U.S. to visit Britain since the emergency protocol has not yet been lifted.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have tried to keep their firstborn Archie away from the limelight as much as possible. But since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are two of the most popular members of the Royal Family, people are constantly curious about them and their son despite quitting royal life.
Although Prince Harry and Meghan Markle shared an adorable storytime video of Archie to mark his first birthday last month, the public still wants more of him. So when Queen Elizabeth noted something about her great-grandson, everyone was interested in it.
Royal expert Katie Nicholl said that a source told her that Queen Elizabeth noticed how similar Archie is to Prince Harry. In a recent video call, Her Majesty, reportedly, saw that the one-year-old has inherited his father's red hair.
Queen Elizabeth has not seen much of Archie since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle relocated to Los Angeles. The video call from L.A. to Windsor Castle was one of the rare occasions that Her Majesty saw the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s son over the past year.
