Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice have reportedly taken a monumental step in hopes of healing the rift between their cousins, Prince William and Prince Harry. With both men now raising children of their own, the sisters are keen on fostering a bond between their kids and ensuring they grow up in a more united royal family.
According to an insider quoted by In Touch Weekly, via GB News, Princess Eugenie and Beatrice are determined to see their own children—August and Sienna—build relationships with their royal cousins. This group includes Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, as well as Prince Harry’s children, Archie and Lilibet.
The source revealed, “The sisters have always been close to Harry and William. And now that both men have children of their own, Bea and Eugenie want their kids to all grow up knowing their cousins and being part of a united family.” This desire stems from their deep bond with both brothers, despite the ongoing tensions within the royal family.
It’s no secret that Prince William and Prince Harry’s relationship has been strained, especially since Harry’s move to the U.S. with Meghan Markle. Yet, Eugenie and Beatrice are reportedly doing all they can to bridge that divide. “The girls desperately want the family to reunite,” the insider continued. “And they are doing their best to make a royal reunion happen.”
However, their efforts to bring the family together have reportedly caused concern for some members of the royal family, particularly Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Recent reports have suggested that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been growing closer to Eugenie and Beatrice, a relationship that some say could unsettle William and Kate.
Royal expert Tom Quinn weighed in on the issue, telling The Mirror that an alliance between the Sussexes and the York sisters may be viewed as a troubling development. “For William and Kate, an alliance between Harry and Meghan and Beatrice and Eugenie is a huge worry,” he said.

The potential influence the Duke and Duchess of Sussex could have on the younger royals is a point of unease for the Prince and Princess of Wales, as family loyalties seem to shift in unexpected ways.
Princess Eugenie and Beatrice have long been seen as more neutral figures in the family, often maintaining close ties to both their cousins. Their involvement with Harry and Meghan has always stood out, particularly as Eugenie was reportedly one of the first to meet baby Lilibet when the Sussexes visited the U.K. The sisters’ strong relationships with both sides make them key players in any potential royal reconciliation.
Nevertheless, the task of healing the royal rift is no small feat. Prince William and Prince Harry’s relationship has faced significant public challenges, from Harry’s departure from royal duties to the highly publicized interviews and media attention that followed. Despite the sisters’ best efforts, a true reunion might still be far off.
But in the eyes of Eugenie and Beatrice, the wellbeing of the next generation—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, Archie, Lilibet, and their own children—might just be the unifying factor needed to mend the strained ties. They believe that the family should set aside differences for the sake of the younger royals and foster an environment of love and unity.
For now, it remains to be seen whether Princess Eugenie and Beatrice’s mission to reunite their feuding cousins will succeed. However, their determination to see a royal reunion, especially for the benefit of the children, could signal a hopeful step forward amidst ongoing tensions in the royal family.
