Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, known to be close with Princess Eugenie, were reportedly taken aback when she and her sister, Princess Beatrice, were seen with one of the Sussexes' vocal critics, Piers Morgan.
Sussexes Baffled by Princesses' Encounter with Piers Morgan Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, daughters of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, were spotted enjoying a night out with Morgan at The Princess Royal pub in Notting Hill, West London, along with other notable celebrities. The princesses were seen laughing and chatting with Morgan as they exited the establishment. According to Express, the report left the Duke and Duchess of Sussex "shell shocked."
An insider shared with OK! Magazine that the Sussexes were astonished that the York princesses had "gone behind their backs," given Morgan's history of negative comments about the couple, especially Meghan. The source said:
"After everything Piers has said about them as a couple – especially Meghan, who he's called so many names – Harry and Meghan are astonished that they've gone behind their backs."
The tipster also mentioned that it would be interesting to see how Harry interacts with his cousins during the coronation.
Another source suggested that Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie were seeking a spot on Morgan's TalkTV show and had asked permission from King Charles to appear on the program.
A previous tipster shared:
"It won't be a Harry and Meghan-style interview, because they have requested permission from the King, and the interview will portray the family in a very positive light. Eugenie and Beatrice are keen to put their side across and talk about their new lives."
Speculation Over Princess Eugenie and Prince Harry's Relationship Princess Eugenie and Prince Harry have been close friends and cousins since childhood. Their bond was discussed in the book Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family by royal biographers Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand.
However, Charlotte Griffiths, editor at large at Mail on Sunday, claimed that there was tension between the two royals. She suggested on GB News that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were upset by Sarah Ferguson's interview, in which she mentioned that in the firm, "You're either in or out." Although the Duchess of York didn't specifically mention the Sussexes, her words allegedly bothered them.
Griffiths also noted that Princess Eugenie's loyalty to her mother, Fergie, may have caused a rift with Prince Harry:
"The thing about Eugenie is that she's very loyal to Harry, but there's no one she's more loyal to than her own mother. Those girls, her and her sister [Princess Beatrice] adore their mother."
Considering Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice's recent interaction with Piers Morgan, could this be an indication that the rumors of a falling out with the Sussexes are true?
