Royal news

The milestone comes just days after an insider alleged that Prince Harry feels “guilt” over his lack of connection with his family in the UK – especially his niece and nephews.

A source allegedly told OK!: “Whatever Harry feels about his brother and his dad, he always feels guilty that he doesn’t have a relationship with his niece and nephews and that Archie and Lili don’t know their only cousins.

“Harry always had visions of them growing up around him and being able to come and ask him for advice that they couldn’t ask their parents, especially Charlotte and Louis. George is on a different path, and Harry doesn’t know what that feels like – but he is well aware of what it’s like to be the ‘spare’ and not have the same purpose. He sees a lot of himself in little Louis and it breaks his heart that he doesn’t really know them.”

They added: “He often thinks about messaging Kate as he really misses her. Seeing them grow up in the same way the rest of the world does is hard. He wishes things were different.”
