Last week, eyebrows were raised as images surfaced of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie socializing with TV host Piers Morgan, a vocal critic of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
The royal siblings joined Piers and other friends, including singer James Blunt, at the Princess Royal pub in London’s Notting Hill.
As they exited the venue, they were captured sharing laughs and jokes with the presenter, sparking intrigue and speculation.
Despite Piers’ history of making critical remarks about the Sussexes, particularly Meghan, whom he has disparaged on numerous occasions, the surprise meeting left Prince Harry and Meghan astonished.
A source close to the situation shared that the couple felt blindsided by the rendezvous.
However, Beatrice and Eugenie reportedly do not perceive their actions as inappropriate, given their past amicable relationship with Harry and Meghan prior to the couple’s relocation to the United States and the upcoming release of Harry’s revealing memoir.
The upcoming coronation promises an interesting dynamic as observers anticipate how Harry will engage with his cousins following the unexpected encounter.
Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan presented a united front last Monday, displaying affection and joviality at an NBA game in Los Angeles.
The newfound camaraderie between Piers and the York sisters raised eyebrows, with insider revelations suggesting that the former Good Morning Britain host is seeking to establish a rapport with the princesses in hopes of securing an interview for his talk show.
Contrary to his contentious stance towards Harry and Meghan during his tenure on GMB, Piers has exhibited a warmer disposition towards Beatrice and Eugenie, especially as the latter anticipates the arrival of her second child.
Sources disclosed that the princesses are receptive to the prospect of being interviewed by Piers, having sought approval from their uncle, King.
The planned interview aims to portray the royal family in a positive light, offering Beatrice and Eugenie a platform to share insights into their evolving lives.
However, underlying tensions have surfaced, exacerbated by various factors, including comments made by Sarah, Duchess of York, during a recent television appearance.
Sarah’s revelation that she was not intimately acquainted with Meghan contradicted the Sussexes’ belief that they shared a close bond.
The disclosure proved challenging for Harry, who had advocated for Sarah’s presence at his wedding despite objections from other family members, leading to rifts within the royal circle.
During their residency at Frogmore Cottage, Harry and Meghan found themselves in close proximity to the Royal Lodge, where Sarah resides with her ex-husband, Prince Andrew.
Encounters between the Sussexes and the princesses occurred frequently, further complicating the intricate web of relationships within the royal family.
Additional strain emerged when Eugenie was entrusted with the keys to Frogmore Cottage, once the residence of Harry and Meghan, adding another layer of complexity to the unfolding drama.
