Princess Eugenie is known for her close ties to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, which sparked whispers of her status with the rest of the royal family. But in a surprising twist of events, the royal didn’t attend the Invictus Game earlier this year, hinting at a rift between her and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. And just like that, following her absence from the event, reports indicate that she may have been removed from an alleged royal “blacklist.”
As soon as King Charles lll started his reign, he began a push for a more streamlined monarchy, distancing members associated with Prince Andrew’s scandals and those closely aligned with Prince Harry. However, due to the recent health issues the monarchy has been facing—both King Charles and Kate Middleton under cancer treatment—Princess Eugenie was welcomed back as a working royal.

Sources from Woman’s Day and OK Magazine spilled that both Eugenie and her sister, Beatrice, are actively supporting, Prince William. For example, the pair was recently spotted at the Buckingham Palace garden party. In addition, Princess Beatrice took on charity work, reading an award-winning book to children at the West Thornton Primary School in South London.

Insiders suggest that Princess Eugiene’s relationship with Prince Harry might be cooling off. The reason? She reportedly did not contact the father of two during her visit to California and skipped the Invictus Games, which may indicate a distancing from the Sussexes.
