The Duke of Sussex has expressed deep concern over the possibility of his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, missing out on a significant royal tradition this Easter.

Following their resignation from senior royal duties in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle chose to relocate to Meghan’s hometown in California, making Montecito their new residence since the summer of 2020.

Their decision to raise their children away from royal customs and traditions has kept them isolated from the typical festivities associated with holidays like Christmas and Easter, given their distance from the royal family.

Renowned author and royal expert Tom Quinn recently highlighted the Duke of Sussex’s sentiments towards missing out on Easter celebrations once again.

Traditionally, the royal family gathers at Windsor on Easter Sunday to partake in a ceremony at St. George’s Chapel, followed by a procession and a feast featuring roast lamb.

Mr. Quinn pointed out that Prince Harry particularly enjoyed this ritual as it provided him with an opportunity to engage briefly with an enthusiastic audience.

However, this year’s Easter egg hunt is scheduled to take place later, preventing Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet from participating.

The longstanding tradition of the Easter celebrations dates back to Queen Victoria’s era, offering a chance for Archie and Lilibet to mingle with their cousins, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

Unfortunately, due to the current rift within the royal family, this interaction will not be possible, significantly impacting Prince Harry.

These developments unfold amidst a challenging period for the royal family, with King Charles and Queen Camilla set to lead the ceremony, aiming to foster unity amidst health concerns faced by other senior members of the royal household.

As the royal family prepares for the Easter festivities in the UK, the Sussexes are expected to remain in California with their young children.

The distance from the traditional royal events underscores the Duke of Sussex’s dilemma as he navigates the complexities of balancing his personal choices with his royal heritage.

The absence of Archie and Lilibet from the Easter celebrations further accentuates the divide within the family, leaving Prince Harry to grapple with the emotional repercussions of their detachment from royal customs.
