       Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s isolated upbringing of their children outside the Royal Family may be “confusing” to young Archie and Lilibet, claimed Princess Diana’s close confidant.

       While the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have stepped down from their senior royal duties, they announced their intention to use their children’s royal titles when Lilibet was christened in Los Angeles earlier this year.

       Although the four-year-old prince and two-year-old princess have royal titles, it is believed that they will never know the same world as their older cousins Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, eight, and five-year-old Prince Louis.

       Princess Diana’s former butler and confidant Paul Burrell exclusively told The Mirror, that the Californian royals will find the separation “confusing” as they grow older.

       He said: “They might not know quite who they are."

       He said: “They're a prince and princess living in America. Sounds like a movie doesn't it?”

       The young royals were also not seen at the coronation of King Charles in May this year as they stayed in their home in America with their mother Meghan Markle.

       The proud grandfather was said to be “very emotional” when he met his granddaughter Lilibet for the very first time at the queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

       But the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are seen trying to keep their children aware of their grandmother’s memory as they revealed that a framed picture of Princess Diana hangs in their nursery.

       Meghan cooed to baby Archie in their Netflix docuseries: “Who's that? Grandma? Yeah. It's your Grandma Diana.”

       However, Mr Burrell thinks telling the children stories about their grandmother will only raise questions and lead to “confusion” about their place in the distant royal family that lies across the Atlantic.

       He said: “I think that Archie and Lilibet will say, "Well why aren't we part of that world? We're a prince and princess, and we should be part of the royal family.'”

       “That's a big question for your children to ask you when you decided you don't want to be part of that world.”
