Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s children were noticeably absent from the events surrounding the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

While the Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended the Queen's funeral, their three-year-old son Archie and one-year-old daughter Lilibet did not join them.

Prince George and Princess Charlotte were present, but their younger siblings, Prince Louis, and cousins Archie and Lilibet were not in attendance.

The royal family did not ban the three youngest children of King Charles from paying their respects to their great-grandmother.

There is no official rule when it comes to the age of the mourners.

However, it is possible that Prince William or Catherine made the decision that their kids were still too young to attend the funeral.

Prince Louis is not yet old enough to attend such events.

Royal fans may remember that he acted up during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee in June.

It is unclear why Meghan has not sent for her children or gone back to be with them.

Many are wondering what the reason could be.

Meghan talks about being a mother every now and then, and she tells us she's making sure Archie knows how to ask to pass the salt with a please.

So why hasn't she released any statements through Kendal about how much she misses her children so we know how maternal she is?

Or at the very least, tell us she's Facetiming them every day?

Any normal mother would put her children first.

There are various suggestions as to why Meghan hasn't gone back to be with her children.

Some speculate that she's staying to make sure she can argue her case when the titles and styles are announced.

Others think she won't let Harry be on his own without her in case they're getting back together.

Some even suggest that she doesn't have real children or a maternal bone in her body.

It's been a long time away from their kids for Harry and Meghan, who arrived in Manchester, England earlier this month ahead of the One Young World Summit, which the couple attended on September 5th, three days before Her Majesty's death at the age of 96.

On Monday, royal expert Katie Nicholl told ET's Kevin Fraser in London that she thinks we'll probably see the Sussexes on their way back to America very soon.

Of course, their children are over there.

It is unclear why Meghan hasn't gone back to be with her children.

Some suggest that the funeral of a grandmother-in-law is more important than her children.

Others believe that Harry allegedly said that they want to shield them from the grief.

However, this statement needs careful consideration.

Are the children not asking why they're away for so long?

Do they not want their children to see them crying?

Nobody expected Harry and Meghan's children to attend the funeral, but surely they could spend the week with them.

It's been a long time away from their kids for the couple, and it's understandable that people are curious about why they haven't gone back to be with them.
