Cole empathized with the King, stating that any man would naturally wish to see his grandchildren, given his love for his children and grandchildren. He speculated that the King must be keen on seeing Archie and Lilibet, and the fact that it hasn't happened would be quite upsetting for him.
While acknowledging that it would be a while before Prince Harry returns to the country with his children, Mike Tindall confirmed in 2022 that nobody in the royal family had met Archie and Lilibet. Tindall revealed that during the Platinum Jubilee, Queen's grandchildren and their spouses had a secret lunch, from which Harry and Meghan were notably absent. Tindall shared that the cousins had a lunch after Trooping the Colour, while Harry and Meghan, who watched the event with the Tindalls, went back to Frogmore Cottage without an invitation.
Amid ongoing rumors about a rift with Harry's family, Tindall emphasized the outstanding experience of being part of the Jubilee. He mentioned a memorable cousin lunch and hinted at a March gathering attended by the Tindalls, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, and others at the exclusive Scots restaurant in MA. Tindall also revealed that Harry and Meghan allegedly threw a birthday party for Lilibet during the Jubilee at Frogmore Cottage. However, it has been exposed that the birthday photos were taken at their Montecito Mansion, not Frogmore, and rumors about the Endors' attendance have been debunked; there was no birthday party for Lilibet during the Queen's Jubilee."
