Kate Middleton says George, Charlotte and Louis ‘adore’ Archie

The Duchess of Cambridge is hoping her children get to ‘spend more time’ with their cousin Archie in 2020, a royal source claims.

Kate Middleton, 37, mother to Prince George, 6, Prince Charlotte, 4, and Prince Louis, 1, is said to be looking to spend more time with the family in the New Year.  

An insider told US Weekly that Kate and Prince William’s three youngster’s ‘adore’ Prince Harry, 35, and 38-year-old Meghan Markle’s seven-month-old son, Archie.

It comes as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex spent their first Christmas as a family with Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland in Vancouver Island, Canada.

The source said: ‘[The Duchess] is hoping that in the new year, the cousins will spend more time together.’

They added that George, Charlotte, and Louis, ‘adore’ Archie, but ‘like most children, they’re easily distracted and resilient’.

The Sussexes and Cambridges, who had once been championed as the Royal family’s ‘Fab Four’, spent Christmas apart this year, with William, Kate and their youngsters joining the Queen at Sandringham, Norfolk.

Harry and Meghan spent their first festive break with baby Archie in a $14.1 million waterfront mansion owned by a mystery multi-millionaire, DailyMail.com revealed last week. 

The royal family and the Duchess of Sussex’s mother Doria Ragland enjoyed time in one of the most idyllic spots on Vancouver Island.

Their presence in Canada had been confirmed before Christmas by prime minster Justin Trudeau.

The families Christmas’ apart come two months after Harry admitted he and William aren’t as close as they used to be. 

Speaking on an ITV documentary in October, the prince refused to deny a falling out with his brother when asked to put rift rumours to bed.

He told presenter Tom Bradby: ‘Part of this role, part of this job and this family being under the pressure it is under, inevitably stuff happens.

‘But look, we are brothers, we will always be brothers. We are certainly on different paths at the moment but I will always be there for him and, as I know, he will always be there for me.

‘We don’t see each other as much as we used to because we are so busy but I love him dearly and the majority of stuff is created out of nothing. As brothers, you have good days, you have bad days.’
