Harry and wife Meghan Markle stepped back from the royal family in 2020 and chose to exit the UK and live in Montecito, California. The couple now reside there with their two children however their relationship with the royal family remains estranged.

Quinn added: “Harry always enjoyed this tradition because he got to meet an adoring public for a short period. But what’s really going to upset Harry this year is that his children will miss out on the Easter egg hunt that takes place afterwards.”

The family tradition dates back to when Queen Victoria was on the throne, and Harry is thought to be feeling sad that his children will miss out on time with their cousins as Quinn explained: “Of course it would’ve given Archie and Lillibet a chance to get to know George, Charlotte and Louis. The family rift is going to prevent this and Harry will feel it keenly.”
