The Junior Royals Miss Out on Coronation Festivities: A Reflection on Archie and Lilibet’s Absence
The recent coronation weekend was a grand affair, filled with pomp and circumstance.
The Junior Royals, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, had front-row seats to the unforgettable events.
From witnessing the ceremony at Westminster Abbey to joining their newly crowned grandfather on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, these young royals were immersed in a momentous experience that will surely be etched in their memories forever.
And thanks to the captivating snapshots of Kate's adorable children, the rest of us will also cherish their delightful presence during the coronation.
Prince George stole the show as he elegantly carried his grandfather's train down the aisle, displaying an astonishing regal demeanor.
Meanwhile, Princess Charlotte, donned in an exquisite Alexander McQueen gown, cape, and headpiece, proved herself to be a responsible and caring big sister by holding her little brother Louis' hand as they followed their parents into the Abbey.
Even the youngest member of the family, Prince Louis, charmed everyone with his cute tunic collar and cuffs.
Despite a few yawns and fidgeting, the five-year-old displayed impeccable decorum during his brief appearance at the Abbey.
And later, on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, he rewarded us with his trademark face scrunchies, reminding us that in his world, protocol is optional.
These memories will be treasured by all, except for two individuals who were notably absent from the festivities – Archie and Lilibet, the children of Prince Harry and Meghan.
Since their departure from the royal family, Harry and Meghan have effectively denied their children the opportunity to connect with their heritage.
As the global conversation revolves around the coronation, Archie and Lilibet may one day question why they were not a part of this significant family event.
Perhaps in the future, they will watch footage of their cousin, Princess Charlotte, excitedly pointing out her father, Prince William, as he made his way to deliver a speech at the coronation concert.
And they may wonder why they were no longer included in such moments.
While they can read about or watch these events on platforms like Netflix, it will serve as a reminder to Archie and Lilibet that they relinquished a birthright without a say in the matter.
The question remains: how will Archie and Lilibet feel as they look back at the joyous faces of their royal cousins, witnessing the spectacular display of the red arrows soaring over Buckingham Palace?
On the other hand, the Sussexes may also come to regret the day when their curious children ponder why they were kept away not only from a once-in-a-lifetime experience but also from a family that belongs to them as much as their three little cousins who are fully embraced by their heritage.
Archie and Lilibet are not only separated from their cousins by the vast Atlantic but also by a world much larger than that.
