Princess Eugenie recently highlighted the significance of family support in a statement following her attendance at a garden party hosted by Prince William.
The event, held on a Tuesday afternoon, was hosted by the Prince of Wales in place of King Charles.
Among the attendees were non-working members of the royal family, including Princess Eugenie, Princess Beatrice, Sarah Tyndall, and Mike Tyndall, along with the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.
Eugenie took to Instagram to share photos of herself with future King Prince William, emphasizing the message that family comes first.
She expressed her joy in supporting her family and meeting individuals who have made exceptional contributions to their local communities at the Buckingham Palace Garden Party.
The images showcased Eugenie smiling under an umbrella in the rain, mingling with William, her sister Princess Beatrice, cousins Peter Phillips and Sarah Tyndall, and Sarah’s husband Mike Tyndall.
Although Eugenie’s husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, was not pictured at the event, he showed his support by leaving a comment on Eugenie’s post with four clapping hands emojis.
A royal admirer commended Eugenie for her family support, contrasting it with championing the Queen’s agenda, hinting at a possible rift within the royal circle.
It appears that Harry may have lost another ally in his relationship with Meghan Markle.
Speculation arose when Meghan Markle reportedly used a photo of Princess Eugenie’s son, August, claiming it to be her and Archie playing at a beach in Southern California.
However, keen royal fans pointed out that the image actually featured Eugenie with her own child, not Meghan and her son.
The photo was taken during Eugenie’s visit to Harry, indicating a strained relationship between the cousins that began deteriorating in 2022 and culminated after the Queen’s passing.
Following the Queen’s demise, tensions escalated as Eugene failed to inform Harry about events at Balmoral, leaving him out of important family gatherings.
Despite Peter Phillips informing all cousins about the situation, Eugene’s silence towards Harry led to his exclusion.
This incident marked a turning point for Eugenie, prompting her to hand over Frogmore Cottage keys to King Charles and relocate to Portugal, where she distanced herself from Harry, who was in Portugal but did not visit her.
The breaking point for Eugenie was Harry’s decision to proceed with a documentary and memoir, disregarding security concerns by allowing a Netflix crew access despite being prohibited.
She felt let down by Harry’s actions, especially his lack of consideration for Fergie, which further strained their relationship.
Notably, Eugenie and Beatrice’s amicable interactions with Piers Morgan hinted at their lack of support for Harry and Meghan, signaling a shift in alliances within the royal family.
Eugenie’s stance became evident when she did not offer accommodation to Harry during a time of need, indicating a significant shift in their once-close relationship.
Her actions reflected a sense of disappointment and disapproval towards Harry’s choices, particularly regarding his documentary and memoir, which she perceived as a betrayal of trust.
Despite their shared history, Eugenie’s priorities shifted, focusing on her own well-being and distancing herself from the drama surrounding Harry and Meghan.
