In a surprising turn of events, Princess Eugenie was spotted embracing Piers Morgan during a recent outing, raising eyebrows and stirring speculation about her relationship with Meghan Markle.
The public display of affection seems to send a clear message: Eugenie has made her choice, and it isn’t Meghan.
Over the weekend, Eugenie showcased her baby bump while enjoying a casual day out at a pub in Notting Hill.
Dressed in a chic blue smock dress, she looked radiant alongside her sister, Princess Beatrice, as they mingled with an array of celebrity friends, including singer James Blunt and media personality Piers Morgan.
The gathering had all the hallmarks of a star-studded affair, but it was the presence of Morgan that caught the attention of royal watchers.
Fans were quick to notice that both Eugenie and Beatrice appeared to be wearing microphones, leading to rampant speculation about a potential collaboration with Morgan.
Known for his outspoken views on Meghan Markle, Morgan’s association with the sisters has ignited conversations about a possible rift between Eugenie and her cousin.
Adding to the lighthearted atmosphere, Sophia Wellesley, James Blunt’s wife, was seen carrying a cardboard cutout of one of the guests, prompting laughter among the group.
Eugenie opted for a simple hairstyle, pulling her dark locks into a low bun, while Beatrice sported loose waves, exuding a relaxed elegance as the sisters shared jokes with their celebrity companions.
The Blunts have long been associated with the royal family, having attended both the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in 2018 and Eugenie’s own wedding later that year.
This connection only adds layers to the unfolding narrative, especially with rumors swirling about the sisters’ future plans, including their expected attendance at King Charles III’s coronation next month.
In a brief interview, Morgan hinted at a chilly atmosphere surrounding Prince Harry, suggesting that tensions within the royal family are palpable.
Observers noted that Beatrice’s demeanor shifted during last year’s Jubilee celebrations, where she appeared protective of the younger Wales children, seemingly blocking the Sussexes from capturing any coveted photo opportunities.
There’s a growing belief that Eugenie has become disillusioned with Meghan and Harry’s treatment of the royal family, particularly towards her grandparents.
Speculation has arisen about financial disagreements between the cousins, possibly linked to investment properties in Portugal.
The details remain murky, but the implications are significant.
Past incidents, such as the alleged fallout over Frogmore Cottage, further complicate the dynamics.
Reports suggest that Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, were renting Frogmore during a visit, only to discover that the Sussexes had not been maintaining the property, raising questions about their financial dealings.
The timeline of events paints a picture of increasing tension.
It appears that a series of misunderstandings and grievances may have led to a significant rift, especially after the Sussexes’ controversial Netflix documentary aired, revealing private moments that Eugenie and Jack would have preferred to keep under wraps.
Eugenie’s initial willingness to navigate the drama surrounding Meghan and Harry seems to have waned.
Her loyalty to the Queen and the traditions of the royal family appears to have taken precedence, overshadowing any attempts to maintain a close relationship with her cousin.
As the royal family prepares for the coronation, the question lingers: will Eugenie and Meghan be able to mend their relationship, or has the divide become too wide?
Only time will tell, but for now, the public display of solidarity with Piers Morgan speaks volumes about where Eugenie’s loyalties lie.
