After Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down as working royals and moved to America, the duke and duchess’s relationships with many members of Harry’s family became strained. But even after the couple’s explosive sit-down with Oprah Winfrey , jabs at the monarchy in other interviews, their Netflix docuseries, and Harry’s memoir Spare , the prince’s cousins, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, remained close with the Sussexes. In fact, Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, visited the prince and Suits star at their home in California.
And the princess was featured briefly in the Harry &Meghan docuseries. But now, it’s being reported that the duke and duchess’s only allies in the royal family are no more. Read on to find out why.
Why Beatrice and Eugenie haven’t been speaking to Harry and Meghan So what happened? Why aren’t the princesses close with the Sussexes anymore?

In an interview with The Telegraph, the Duchess of York denied knowing Harry’s wife saying: “I don’t really know Meghan. I haven’t really met her.
” However, the insider claimed that’s not the case and something Sarah said in an effort to distance herself from the Sussexes. “They were neighbors. Royal Lodge is basically next door to Frogmore and the Yorks and Sussexes met quite often,” the source explained.
