The Queen has missed Archie terribly since Archie moved to Canada in anticipation of the royal retreat.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's (open in new tab) royal exit was indeed a complicated situation. Of course, Harry and Meghan (open in new tab) have undoubtedly faced the most stress throughout the ordeal, but in the contest of "who has the most headaches about the royal exit," the Queen has to come in a close second.
As always, the queen is handling every situation like a consummate professional, but according to new reports, there is one aspect of the royal exit that is weighing on her: not being able to see her youngest great-grandson, Archie Harrison (opens in new tab).
In a report citing sources from The Sunday Times and The Sun, the Express (opens in new tab) is said to be "very saddened" by the fact that Queen Elizabeth has not seen much of Archie since his birth last May, and other senior royals are writes that she is "dismayed" that she has seen so little of the youngest member of the family.
Harry has now returned to the UK to complete the final round of royal engagements, and while Meghan is expected to return soon, sources close to the couple believe Archie will remain in Canada with Meghan's longtime best friend, Jessica Mulroney (opens in new tab). As noted by the Express, Archie has not been in the U.K. at all this year after a vacation trip to Canada with his parents last December.
After the madness surrounding the last round of Harry and Meghan's royal engagement (opens in new tab) subsides, expect them to feel comfortable bringing Archie back to the UK for a visit with his extended family.
