Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly met King Charles and Queen Camilla during their recent visit to the UK, sparking renewed speculation about whether they also spent time with other members of the royal family.
Princess Eugenie has long been considered one of Harry's closest cousins. She was the first senior royal family member to visit Harry and Meghan in the United States after the couple settled in California following their decision to step back from royal duties. Eugenie has also been photographed with Harry at the Super Bowl and previously joined the Sussexes for dinner during one of her trips to the US.
Given that history, royal watchers believe it would not be surprising if Eugenie met Harry and Meghan during their latest visit to Britain.
Both Princess Eugenie and her older sister, Princess Beatrice, have remained supportive of the monarchy and have never publicly criticized King Charles or the Royal Family. At the same time, commentators have often suggested that the sisters have maintained a warmer relationship with Harry and Meghan than some other royals.
Some royal observers believe this may stem from shared family experiences, with both Harry and their father, Prince Andrew, having faced public scrutiny, although there is no public evidence that this has shaped their personal relationships.
Harry, however, has not been viewed as particularly close to Prince Andrew, especially following the public fallout over Andrew's association with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Royal commentators have frequently noted that family dynamics within the House of Windsor are complex, making private meetings and unexpected alliances difficult to predict.
There has been no public confirmation that Princess Eugenie or Princess Beatrice met Harry and Meghan during their latest UK visit. However, some observers believe such a meeting would have been more likely after the Sussexes had already seen King Charles and Queen Camilla, reducing the possibility of any awkward overlap.
It also remains unclear how Prince William and Princess Catherine, Princess of Wales, would view such an encounter, as no information has emerged regarding their reaction or whether they were aware of any private family meetings.
