I don't pretend to know about the feelings of the Queen and other members of the royal family towards seeing the baby.
Nothing to stop this couple extending their paid -for visit into a private one so that the child would have time to settle. He was taken to to Ibiza, Africa, Elton John's hideaway and Canada.
I do recognise a classic technique of estrangement, when the dominant parent controls access to the child, and the weaker parent stands by and lets it happen.
