Any formal alignment with the Sussexes would almost certainly have consequences. Prince William and Princess Kate have reportedly remained supportive of Eugenie, but royal watchers believe there are limits to that support, particularly given the ongoing tensions between the brothers.

If Eugenie were to take on a role connected to Harry and Meghan’s ventures, some observers suggest it could strain her relationship with the Wales family. Eugenie has long been seen as one of the few royals able to maintain ties across both camps, often described as neutral amid past disagreements. A public professional move could complicate that delicate balance.

Meghan herself has previously spoken warmly about her friendship with Eugenie, revealing that they knew each other before Meghan began dating Harry. In a past interview, Meghan described the relationship as comfortable and genuine. She also shared a lighthearted anecdote about the two couples enjoying a Halloween outing together before Harry and Meghan’s relationship became public knowledge in 2016.
