Princess Eugenie’s support for Sussexes reportedly causes tension with her sister
Princess Eugenie’s open allegiance to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has reportedly created strain in her relationship with her sister, Princess Beatrice.
According to In Touch, Eugenie skipped Princess Catherine’s Christmas Carol Service to align with the Sussexes, while Beatrice attended the high-profile event alongside her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, presenting a united front with the royal family.
An insider highlighted the sisters’ differing stances, stating, “Beatrice is making a big effort not to rock the boat and has stayed very neutral when it comes to Meghan and Harry.” The source added, “Eugenie and Beatrice have very different views on the Sussexes, which has caused some tension and put them in a tough spot.”
Complicating matters, the York sisters are already under scrutiny due to their father, Prince Andrew, whose controversies have overshadowed their roles in the royal family. Reports also suggest that King Charles’s efforts to streamline the monarchy could further limit their future roles.
While Eugenie’s close friendship with Harry and Meghan underscores her loyalty to the Sussexes, Beatrice appears focused on preserving neutrality and maintaining harmony with the wider royal family.
The differing approaches between the York sisters illustrate the delicate balance within the royal family as they navigate personal loyalties and public responsibilities under continued scrutiny.
