Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were urged to do one thing regarding their son, Prince Archie, who turned seven this week. The eldest child of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would have undoubtedly celebrated his special day with his nearest and dearest in Montecito, California.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
But he wouldn\u2019t have been anywhere near his royal relatives from across the pond due to his parents\u2019 ongoing feud. Archie last saw the royals in 2022, when the Sussex family visited the UK for the late Queen\u2019s Platinum Jubilee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Now, a child expert has weighed in on how Archie may start to realise and process aspects of his life as he enters middle childhood.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
lona Andrews, certified sleep consultant and founder of Sleeping Stars, a UK-based, family-owned baby clothing brand specialising in sleepwear, told the Daily Express: \u201cAt seven, children are perceptive. They notice if something is being sidestepped, or if they\u2019re not getting the full story.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cMeeting their questions with openness isn\u2019t about overexplaining or deflecting. It\u2019s about helping the child navigate the narratives in their life, feel safe to ask whatever they need to ask, and know that no question is too big.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cThat builds the kind of trust that becomes essential when the teenage years arrive.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Ms Andrews said that the best thing Harry and Meghan could do as parents is to \u201cacknowledge\u201d any possible questions Archie may have.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
She explained: \u201cParents can really help by acknowledging those questions honestly and age appropriately. If questions aren\u2019t answered, children tend to fill in the blanks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cSo, providing concrete, honest narratives is important at this age.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
