**Royal Drama Unveiled: Insights into Prince Harry’s Family Ties and Royal Rifts**
Prince Harry's eldest child, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, though residing far from the US, maintains a profound link to his father's roots in the UK through his godparents.
In a surprising revelation, it has been disclosed that the Duke of Sussex appointed his former nanny, Tiggy Legg-Burke, now known as Tiggy Pettifer, as Archie's godmother.
Tiggy had previously cared for both Prince Harry and Prince William during their youth and had close ties with their father, Charles, who ascended to the throne following Queen Elizabeth's demise on September 8, 2022.
Additionally, Prince Harry selected his trusted confidant and mentor, Mark Dyer, to stand as Archie's godfather.
While the royal couple has not officially confirmed the godparents' identities, insider sources strongly suggest that Tiggy and Mark hold pivotal roles in Archie's life.
On a different note, recent reports indicate that Prince Harry felt that Prince William and Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, did not extend a warm welcome to Meghan Markle upon her entry into the royal family.
Renowned royal expert Katie Nicholl, in her latest book “The New Royals: Queen Elizabeth's Legacy and the Future of the Crown,” delves into the dynamics between Harry and William.
Following Queen Elizabeth II's passing, William assumed the title of Prince of Wales and heir to the throne.
Nicholl, drawing insights from close sources within the royal circle, shared Harry's sentiments regarding Meghan's reception within the royal fold.
The Sussexes, having relinquished their senior royal roles in 2020, now reside in California with their children, Archie and Lilibet.
Ms. Nicholl highlighted Harry's perspective on the initial interactions between Meghan and the royal family, particularly William and Kate.
Notably, it was revealed that William was the first to meet Meghan and expressed genuine happiness at Harry's newfound love.
However, tensions arose as Harry perceived a lack of warmth towards Meghan, leading to a rift between the brothers that required intervention from Prince Charles to resolve.
In a candid interview with Fox News Digital, Ms. Nicholl emphasized Harry's feelings of being distanced from William, despite their shared history and experiences.
The complexities of their relationship came to light as Harry described it as one of ‘space,' acknowledging the challenges they faced while pursuing divergent paths.
Despite the underlying tensions, Harry and Meghan made two visits to the UK in 2022, participating in significant events such as the Platinum Jubilee and the Invictus Games celebrations.
Tragedy struck the royal family with Queen Elizabeth II's passing, prompting a public display of unity as William, Kate, Harry, and Meghan, once dubbed the ‘Fab Four,' came together for a poignant walkabout at Windsor.
Subsequently, the brothers stood in solemn vigil at Westminster Hall during the monarch's lying in state, underscoring a shared sense of loss.
Following the funeral proceedings, the Sussexes returned to the US, sharing intimate behind-the-scenes glimpses of their UK visit with the public.
