Prince Harry Reportedly Cuts Ties with Princess Eugenie Over Piers Morgan Meeting
Piers Morgan has confirmed reports that Prince Harry severed ties with his cousin, Princess Eugenie, after she was seen socializing with him. Since stepping down as a senior royal and relocating to the United States with Meghan Markle in 2020, Prince Harry has maintained a strained relationship with the Royal Family. However, one of the few remaining strong connections he had within the monarchy was with Eugenie.
A Strong Bond Between Cousins
Harry and Eugenie have shared a close bond since childhood. As the daughters of Prince Andrew and Prince Charles, Eugenie and her sister, Princess Beatrice, often spent time with their royal cousins, including Harry and his brother, Prince William. Over the years, Eugenie and Harry remained particularly close, with many describing their relationship as more sibling-like than cousinly.
Even after Harry and Meghan moved to the U.S., Eugenie was seen as one of the few royals who continued to maintain a friendly relationship with them. The Sussexes’ close ties with Eugenie were further highlighted when reports emerged last year that Harry and Meghan had purchased a holiday home in Portugal, conveniently located near Eugenie’s residence. This suggested that despite the broader royal rift, Harry and Eugenie still valued their time together and remained on good terms.
The Lunch That Changed Everything
However, recent reports indicate that Harry’s relationship with Eugenie has soured following an incident in April when she was spotted having lunch with Piers Morgan, one of Harry and Meghan’s most vocal critics. Morgan, who has repeatedly condemned the couple in the media, is known for his harsh views on the Sussexes and has accused them of being hypocritical in their decisions regarding royal life and media attention.
According to sources, Harry took great offense to Eugenie meeting with Morgan, interpreting it as an act of disloyalty. A close friend told The Sun:
“This was not taken lightly, as Piers has repeatedly clashed with Meghan and Harry in the past. Eugenie has been a loyal supporter of Harry and Meghan for years and was there at the very beginning of their relationship—but now things have changed.”
Piers Morgan Confirms the Fallout
Morgan himself addressed the situation on his show, Piers Morgan Uncensored, and confirmed that Harry reacted strongly upon learning of Eugenie’s lunch with him.
“That [Harry cutting off Eugenie] was because of me,” Morgan claimed on his program. “She was having lunch with me and a group of people at a pub in London. As we were leaving, I was seen hugging them goodbye, and when Harry saw that, he went completely ballistic. I can confirm that’s entirely true—because he just couldn’t bear it.”
Morgan’s confirmation reinforces the idea that Harry is increasingly sensitive about whom those close to him choose to associate with, particularly if they have publicly criticized him and Meghan. His response suggests that he takes any perceived betrayal very seriously.
Harry’s History of Cutting Ties
This isn’t the first time Harry has distanced himself from a once-close family member or friend. Since leaving his royal role, reports have surfaced about strained relationships with his brother, Prince William, his father, King Charles III, and other members of the royal household. His and Meghan’s decision to step away from royal life and their subsequent public disclosures—particularly in interviews and Harry’s memoir, Spare—have created a significant divide.
Harry’s pattern of severing ties with those who don’t fully align with his perspective suggests an increasing isolation from his past life. While Eugenie was seen as one of his last strong links to the Royal Family, this latest fallout indicates that even that relationship may now be fractured.
The Royal Family’s Silence
Neither Princess Eugenie nor Prince Harry has publicly addressed the reports, and Buckingham Palace has remained silent on the matter. The Duke of Sussex has been approached for comment, but there has been no official response from his representatives.
It remains to be seen whether Harry and Eugenie will reconcile or if this marks the permanent end of their previously close relationship. What is clear, however, is that Harry’s trust in those around him appears to be fragile, and any perceived disloyalty, especially involving critics like Piers Morgan, may have serious consequences.
