Archie and Lilibet in the spotlight: now Kate Middleton is the one who confirms it

Kate Middleton breaks the silence and speaks about a delicate family situation that affects Archie and Lilibet

Family ties in the British royal family have always been under public scrutiny, and every word and every gesture are carefully observed. Tensions within the royal family aren't unfamiliar to the critical eye. Lately, some members have had to face personal challenges.

Kate Middleton is known for keeping a calm image, but inside the walls of Kensington Palace, the situation seems to be different. Relationships within the royal family aren't always as easy as they seem. In recent times, some family dynamics have become more complicated.

Kate Middleton feels concern over the distance between Archie and Lilibet

Recently, sources close to the royals revealed that Kate Middleton is deeply upset. The reason would be none other than the distance between her children and Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's children. Although the princess has kept a public stance of calm, the situation seems to weigh on her personally behind closed doors.

Several media outlets state that Kate Middleton considers it unfair that the children, still so young, are the most affected by family tensions. This distance between the cousins seems to be a constant source of pain for the monarch. Prince William's wife regrets that family ties are so distorted.

The impact of family tensions on Archie, Lilibet, and their cousins

The lack of relationship between cousins Archie, Lilibet, George, Charlotte, and Louis reflects how family disputes affect everyone's relationships. While the adults deal with their own disagreements, the children suffer the consequences, even if indirectly. Kate Middleton has expressed that it hurts her that the children, so innocent and unaware of adult complications, are caught in this situation.

Meanwhile, King Charles III has made it clear that he still has "much hope" of restoring his relationship with his youngest son, Prince Harry. In addition, King Charles III has focused on including his grandchildren, Archie and Lilibet, in his life. It has been revealed that he is taking steps so they can participate in his funeral plans.

Without a doubt, the complex relationships within the British royal family still don't have a short-term solution. Kate Middleton faces the difficult reality of being distant from her nephews, Archie and Lilibet. Charles III's hope to get closer to his son and his grandchildren remains alive.

Will Charles III's funeral be the moment when they bury the hatchet? We'll still have to wait to find out. For now, tension and distance remain the main protagonists in the British royal family.
