Archie and Lilibet are being ‘denied’ the opportunity to see their cousins Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, according to a royal commentator.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex relocated to California in 2020 where they are bringing up their two children.
Royal photographer, Arthur Edwards, has claimed that the couple are not only denying their children from seeing their grandfather, the King, but also their cousins.
As the Sussexes live across the pond from their cousins George, Charlotte and Louis, they are not able to spend much time together.

Edwards said: “Listen, he’s not only denying the King seeing his grandchildren.
“He’s denying Archie and Lilibet from seeing their cousins George, Charlotte and Louis.”
Archie and Lilibet did not visit the UK in 2023 despite their father Harry making several trips back.
Edwards told the Sun: “They're first cousins, and he doesn't know them. I don't think Harry makes the final decision on that.

It was previously reported that Meghan does not want to return to the UK because she refuses to “dive back into the soap opera,” according to royal author Omid Scobie.
Edwards continued: "If she does, I don't know when that's likely. Certainly, those children are grandchildren of the King.
"They've got royal titles now. One's a prince, the other's a princess.

PA"They should be more respectful. Certainly, Harry should bring them to see the King whenever he can."
It was previously reported that Prince Harry wants to bring his children back to the UK despite his feud with Prince William.
A source told OK! last month: “Harry wants to spend more time in the UK and bring the children over to be with [Charles] and their cousins, but he will have to prove himself first.”
It comes as Prince Harry lost a case against the Home Office over his UK security.

But the Duke of Sussex has appealed the judgment following his defeat, claiming that he is “not asking for preferential treatment.”
Edwards commented: “So far, he comes alone and he goes quickly. He's no longer a member of the Royal Family.
"He's made it his intention that he doesn't want to be. I don't know how long that's going on for.”
