Prince Harry’s connections with his royal family members may be strained, but there is one exception.
The Prince maintains a strong bond with his younger cousin, Princess Eugenie, who is celebrating her 33rd birthday today.
Growing up together, they shared childhood holidays and later explored London’s nightlife.
Princess Eugenie, who is currently expecting their second child, has been featured in Harry and Meghan Markle’s documentary series after visiting them in California.
Their close relationship led Princess Eugenie to play matchmaker between Harry and her friend, Cressida Bonas.
However, their attempt at setting up a date resulted in an awkward moment for the Royals.
In his memoir “Spare,” Harry recounted their first meeting with Cressida, where sparks flew.
Despite a slightly clumsy attempt at a goodnight kiss, they agreed to a second date.
Harry later confided in Princess Eugenie about the awkward ending, only to find out that Cressida had already shared her perspective on the situation.
Despite the initial hiccup, Cressida was willing to give their relationship another chance.
They dated from 2012 to 2014 before parting ways, reportedly due to Cressida feeling overwhelmed by the public attention that came with dating a royal.
Prince Harry has since found happiness with Meghan Markle and their children, while Princess Eugenie is happily married to Jack Brooksbank, with whom she shares a two-year-old son named August and is expecting their second child this summer.
Princess Eugenie took to her personal Instagram account to announce the joyful news, posting a heartwarming photo of her son August kissing her baby bump.
Captured by Jack, the photo shows a delighted Eugenie in a wooly hat, while August, dressed in matching winter attire, lovingly embraces his mother.
The announcement was met with excitement from their followers as they eagerly anticipate the new addition to the royal family.
As Prince Harry navigates his own path with Meghan and their children, his enduring bond with Princess Eugenie serves as a reminder of the ties that bind the royal family.
Despite the challenges and public scrutiny, their family connections remain a source of strength and support.
