The Duchess of Cambridge is “hoping that in the new year, the cousins will spend more time together,” the source says.
The insider also said Prince William and Kate Middleton’s three kids — Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis “adore” Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan’s 7-month-old son, Archie, but “like most children, they’re easily distracted and resilient.”
Prince William, Kate and the rest of the family spent Christmas at Queen Elizabeth II’s 20,000-acre estate, Sandringham, in Norfolk, England. But the Duke and Duchess of Sussex chose to spend the holiday season with their son Archie in Vancouver Island, Canada.
On December 28, a spokesperson for the couple confirmed in a statement to Us Weekly that “Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are spending private family time in Canada. The decision to base themselves in Canada reflects the importance of this Commonwealth country to them both.
‘’The Duke of Sussex has been a frequent visitor to Canada over many years, and it was also home to The Duchess for seven years before she became a member of the Royal Family. They are enjoying sharing the warmth of the Canadian people and the beauty of the landscape with their young son.”
The plan of spending Christmas in Vancouver came two months after Harry confirmed he and William are not as close as they used to be.
“Part of this role and part of this job, this family, being under the pressure that it’s under, inevitably stuff happens,” Harry explained during Harry & Meghan: An African Journey, which aired in October.
“But look, we’re brothers, we’ll always be brothers. We’re certainly on different paths at the moment but I’ll always be there for him and as I know he’ll always be there for me.”
