In Meghan's own words, "Eugenie and I had known each other before I had known Harry, so that was comfortable. We’re friends with them as a couple."
Despite stepping down from royal roles in 2020, Meghan and Harry's relationship with Princess Eugenie has endured, and the youngest daughter of Prince Andrew may serve as a source of support during the couple's financial struggles.
As the Duke and Duchess of Sussex navigate a critical year with their Netflix contract at stake, Hollywood executives warn of a "financial nightmare" unless they produce more original content. Meghan's connection with Princess Eugenie is speculated to be a potential strategy to weather the uncertainties.
Rumors suggest that Meghan's desire to reconcile with the royals, including her friendship with Princess Eugenie, is driven by the need to address strains on her marriage with Prince Harry, exacerbated by financial troubles.
Insiders have hinted at Meghan's influence on Princess Eugenie, with personal stylist Bella Hignett noting, "They are quite old friends, but I have always felt that Eugenie is quite influenced by Meghan’s wardrobe." Hignett added that Eugenie has even "copied a few items" in the past.
