Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor is just over a week old, but he’s already had plenty of visitors.

From his doting grandma Doria Ragland through to his uncle and aunt, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, he’s been one popular little royal. But it seems that his young cousins Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are yet to meet their new relative.

After her engagement at Bletchley Park in Milton Keynes, Duchess Catherine travelled to Windsor and joined her husband Prince William who came from a United for Wildlife meeting in London to meet their little nephew and new parents Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan. But where were Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis?

Kensington Palace has not confirmed whether the three Cambridge children accompanied their parents to meet baby Archie, however reports from HELLO! suggest that it is highly unlikely and it’s for a reason many parents will understand.

Due to the time of day and hour-long distance between London and Windsor, it would have been well past George, five, Charlotte, four and one year-old Louis’ bedtime. And as the meeting was late on Tuesday afternoon, it would’ve been a school night for the eldest two children.

According to the Express, a Palace source said that the family have been “dying to meet” little Archie, especially his cousins.

“Prince George, five and Princess Charlotte, four, have already been asking their parents when they can meet their new cousin, they are as excited as anybody,” the source revealed.

Baby Archie may also be getting a visit from his potential godmother in the coming days as well.

Duchess Meghan’s close friend Jessica Mulroney shared a snap of her five year-old daughter Ivy on her Instagram account and her caption is making us think the pair are preparing to fly across the Pond to see the new royal mum.

“Packing for our first Mother/Daughter trip and I’m screaming with excitement. Are matching shoes too much,” she penned.

“Will be a very special trip for both of you!🌟😊,” one follower commented under the celebrity stylist’s photo.

“K tell her I miss her so much,” another wrote, possibly hinting at the Duchess of Sussex herself.

“Just perfect! I’m screaming with excitement for you and Ivy too,” wrote one more.
