Even though Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made their official exit from their royal duties back in 2020, it seems like the royal family is still concerned that the two might be getting insider information from friends still very much in the royal circle.
The fear has always been around. The royal family wasn’t too pleased with the publication of Prince Harry’s tell-all memoir, Spare, where he openly discussed private royal family matters and revealed the flack that both he and Markle received while they were still involved with the family. The royal family allegedly has taken drastic measures to cut Prince Harry and Markle out of their lives, going as far as to stir up animosity between Prince Harry and Prince Williams’ children.
But one thing the royal family cannot control is who Prince Harry and Markle remain friends with, including Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice. The Duke of Sussex has be open about how close he is with both of them, and sources close to the royal family say they are concerned about the remaining connection.
“They’ve got so much in common: the kids, a shared interest in philanthropy, and Harry enjoys offering advice to his cousin about how to further her career, while Meghan’s great with parenting, lifestyle, and nutrition,” a source revealed to an outlet, per OK Magazine.
“For the King, Camilla, and the Waleses, it’s rather unfortunate that Eugenie and Beatrice are so close with the Sussexes,” the source continued. “[They are] till privy to a lot of what’s happening inside Buckingham Palace, so there’s a concern about what they’re telling them, and what they could reveal — even unintentionally.”
Back in August, a source confirmed that the two princesses are still close with their cousin. “”They’re still the best of friends and talk constantly,” a source told People. “This whole drama between him and Meghan and the rift with the rest of the family has been really stressful for the girls. It’s hard to watch because they see both sides of it,” the source explained, adding that the princesses “understand and live the royal machine.”
These fears aren’t exactly unfounded, either, considering how outspoken Prince Harry has been about his and Markle’s time together in the royal family. When Prince Harry was on a press tour for Spare, a royal insider told Vanity Fairthat he totally fails to see the irony and hypocrisy in what he says. When there have been private family conversations, it has been Harry who has leaked them to the press.”
