Prince Harry Feels ‘Guilty’ Over His Lack of Relationship With Certain Royals — But It Isn’t Charles and William
Prince Harry doesn’t see much of his family anymore. Back in February 2024, after his father, King Charles, was diagnosed with cancer, Harry did say that he loves his family, and that might be very true; still, he does not share the closeness with them that he did so many years ago.
With that said, Harry does reportedly feel “guilty” about a lack of relationship with some royal family members but it’s not his father or brother, Prince William.
Prince Harry feels ‘guilty’ for his lack of relationship with his niece and nephews
Harry was right there when William and Kate Middleton welcomed their first child, Prince George. He immediately had a close connection with George. And when Princess Charlotte was born, that still held true. But by the time Prince Louis was born, some tensions had already creeped into Harry’s relationship with his brother and sister-in-law, though it didn’t stop Harry from gifting Louis a very sentimental book that reminded him of his own childhood. Now that Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, are living in the United States, he has very little relationship with George, Charlotte, and Louis, and that is something he reportedly has guilt over.
“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,” a source close to the prince told OK! Magazine UK, according to Express.
The source continued, “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.” The source also added that Harry “sees a lot of himself in little Louis, and it breaks his heart that he doesn’t really know them.”
Prince Harry does not see much of his niece and nephews
Since moving to the United States, Harry has hardly seen William and Kate’s children. The prince might have seen the little ones a handful of times during his UK returns, but he has visited his home country twice in 2024 and reportedly has not seen them either time.
The kids could be the easiest way for Harry and William to build up their relationship. It’s possible William and Kate want a relationship with Harry’s kids the same way that Harry and Meghan do with the Wales children, and it would be nice for the two families to grow up with their cousins. However, currently, it doesn’t appear that anyone is making moves to build something up. But down the road, the kids might reconnect and eventually bring the Wales and Sussex couples back together.
