Harry and Meghan: Expert on relationship with Princess Eugenie

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie have been “really stressed” over Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s “drama”, a source described as a “family insider” has claimed.

The source allegedly said that whilst Harry may live thousands of miles away, he remains “so close” to his cousins, who have been deeply affected by the rift between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the rest of the family.

Speaking to PEOPLE, the source is reported to have said: “They’re still the best of friends and talk constantly.

“This whole drama between him and Meghan and the rift with the rest of the family has been really stressful for the girls.

“It’s hard to watch because they see both sides of it.”

The source added the princesses “understand and live the royal machine.”

The princesses have been under stress recently, after their mother, Sarah Ferguson, opened up about her breast cancer diagnosis and revealed that it was “scary” for both of her daughters.

She said: “I think it’s scary for any family member out there, you really start looking at your own demise. It’s a wake-up call, and you think, right okay, how am I going to deal with this?”

Eugenie also gave birth to her second son, Ernest George Ronnie Brooksbank, on May 30.

But Prince Harry’s bond with his cousins was recently on display at King Charles’s Coronation last spring.

Although Meghan stayed in California with their two children, Archie, four, and Lilibet, two, Harry entered Westminster Abbey smiling and chatting with Beatrice, her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank.

The Duke of Sussex took his seat in the third row between Jack and Princess Alexandra.

And in February 2022, Prince Harry was joined by Princess Eugenie at the Super Bowl in California — and she was the only member of the royal family to appear in new footage during their Netflix docuseries Harry and Meghan, which aired last December.

The video appeared to show Eugenie playing with Harry and Meghan’s son Archie at the beach.

Authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand wrote in Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family: “Eugenie had always been more than just a cousin to Harry. They were also the closest of friends.”

They added: “Out of all the Queen’s grandchildren, Harry and Eugenie have one of the most natural connections. Like Harry, Eugenie is loyal, honest, and great fun. The two had many nights out together in London.

“Harry had always confided in his cousin when it came to the women in his life. Not only did he trust her implicitly, but friends say that she gives great advice and has always been ‘beyond wise’ for her years.”

Meghan also revealed in 2021, while speaking with Oprah Winfrey, that she knew Princess Eugenie prior to dating Harry.
