Prince Harry has ‘key royal ally who King Charles can quiz about his estranged son’

Prince Harry’s bitter feud with the Royal Family has left many of his relationships with members of the Firm hanging by a string.

However, it seems that despite the bitter rift, there is one royal who has become a key ally for both Harry and wife Meghan Markle – and is believed to be one of the only ones to visit them at their home in Montecito. Princess Eugenie has always been close to her older cousin Harry and it is reported that the Sussexes have bought a holiday property in Portugal close to a house owned by Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank.

And with Harry and Eugenie’s bond still seemingly close, one royal expert believes she could prove to be key in encouraging reconciliation between the Sussexes and the rest of the Royal Family. Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond told OK!: “Eugenie undoubtedly does have something of a challenge on her hands to maintain good relationships with both Harry and Meghan – and the rest of the Royal Family.

“But I think the King is probably happy that Harry still has at least one royal cousin he clearly trusts, and presumably wants to see more of. The family are all so busy that they don’t really see that much of one another.”

And Jennie believes that Eugenie could also prove a useful ally for her uncle King Charles too. She added: “However, I think it’s a positive thing that Charles does have someone he can quietly ask about Harry‘s well-being if he is so inclined. And Harry can presumably gauge the mood of the family via Eugenie.

“Any reconciliation – which at this stage still seems unlikely – has to start somewhere and with someone. And that person could possibly be Eugenie… but don’t hold your breath.”
