THE Queen is sad she has barely seen eight-month-old Archie as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle prepare to set up a new home in Canada

The Queen is reported to be very sad that she has barely seen Archie since he was born eight months ago and that she has not seen him at all this year after he stayed in Canada following the Sussex’s six-week break.

A close source said that she will be sad to have barely seen Archie, and that he will miss out on growing up with his cousins and wider family.

The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh first met Archie only two days after he was born with Doria Ragland, Meghan’s mum, with the Queen only seeing her eighth-great-grandchild a few times, and not once this year as Prince Harry and Meghan spent Christmas in Canada.

Meghan and Archie are still in Canada with Harry set to join them soon after he worked with the Queen, Prince Charles and Prince William on coming to an agreement about their future. It is reported that Archie has met his cousins George, Charlotte, and Louis just a handful of times also.

A source who knows the royal family said: “Where will Archie’s heritage and roots be? What about Diana’s family, the Spencers? “Harry and William know all too well how damaging an unsettled childhood can be.”
