Kate Middleton & Prince Charles' wife Camilla were absent from royal family's summit amid crisis; Here's Why

It's been 21 days since . While they seem to have as well, their decision to leave the royal family in order to have some semblance of a normal life is still causing some stress.

It isn't very often that the British royal family is seen out in the wild—particularly Kate Middleton's children—but royal watchers got a very adorable treat this week. Prince Louis, Kate and Prince William's youngest son, was spotted at London's Natural History Museum with his nanny this week.

Considering the high voltage drama that constantly surrounds the royal family of Britain, it was only a matter of time until someone decided to put a comic spin to the story and feature it on television. HBO called the dibs on that and has greenlit an animated comedy that will show the royal family through Prince George's eyes.

Meghan Markle and her husband Prince Harry will no longer use their royal titles (His/Her Royal Majesty) following their “Megxit” deal — but did one member of the British royal family help make this decision?

In the absence of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, Kate Middleton and Prince William have been getting a boost in popularity, a royal expert says, and a boost in their spirits as well.

Longtime royal reporter for the Daily Mail, Rebecca English, has penned a sweet-but-honest, thoughtful story about Prince Harry and his and Meghan Markle's decision to resign as senior royals. The whole thing is worth a read, but the most compelling piece of the story really adds to our understanding of Harry and who he was as a person even before he met Meghan. Truth is, he never felt comfortable in the Royal Family.

As Meghan Markle and Prince Harry "step back" from their royal duties, it looks like someone else will be stepping in -- at least for one event.

Heir's the deal: Kate Middleton and Prince William don't have baby fever. Right now, at least.

Despite earlier reports, Meghan Markle did not join Monday’s historic royal summit with the family, who were discussing her and Prince Harry's future, according to a new statement from Buckingham Palace.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry might be a team, but that doesn't mean the Duchess of Sussex is involved in everything. On Monday, Harry met with the senior members of his family to discuss the couple's future within the British monarchy. Harry met with his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, his father, Prince Charles, and his brother, Prince William, at Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, England, while his wife and son Archie were thousands of miles away on Vancouver Island in Canada.

January 9, 2020 marks the Duchess of Cambridge’s 38th birthday, but unfortunately, the big day was overshadowed by other royal family news. Apparently, Prince William slammed Meghan Markle and Prince Harry for quitting the royal family on Kate Middleton’s birthday, and it doesn’t sound pretty. A source told Us Weekly that William was “blindsided” by Meghan and Harry’s announcement that they plan to move to North America and take a “step back” as senior members of the royal family.

Now, on day three of conversations between the royal households and government officials, a Buckingham Palace source tells BAZAAR.com that Prince Harry will join a family meeting on Monday afternoon with Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, and Prince William at Sandringham "to talk things through."
