Prince Harry has reportedly severed ties with his cousin Princess Eugenie after she was seen socializing with Piers Morgan—one of Meghan Markle’s most outspoken critics. The shocking claim was confirmed by Morgan himself, who revealed how Harry’s fury erupted after photos surfaced of Eugenie spending time with him.
Speaking on his Uncensored show, Morgan admitted that he played a role in the fallout. He explained that Harry became “completely ballistic” after seeing images of Eugenie at a pub with him and other friends. The incident reportedly convinced Harry that his cousin had chosen sides in the ongoing royal feud.
The controversial meet-up took place at The Princess Royal pub in Notting Hill in 2023, where Eugenie and her sister Beatrice dined with Morgan and singer James Blunt.
At the time, the gathering didn’t attract much attention, but in light of Harry’s latest move, the encounter is being viewed as the final straw in their relationship.
Eugenie had long been considered Harry’s closest royal ally. Unlike other members of the Firm, she maintained a close relationship with the Sussexes even after they stepped down from royal duties. She visited them in California, spent time with them during UK visits, and even kept in touch despite the tensions between Harry and the monarchy.
There were even reports that Harry and Meghan had purchased property in Portugal near Eugenie’s home, hoping to spend more time with her family. But now, it appears that bond has been shattered over her association with Morgan.
Piers Morgan has been one of Meghan Markle’s harshest critics since the infamous Oprah Winfrey interview in 2021. His relentless attacks on Meghan’s credibility led to his departure from Good Morning Britain after he refused to apologize for saying he “didn’t believe a word” of her allegations against the royal family.

Harry’s decision to cut off Eugenie underscores just how deep his loyalty to Meghan runs. Sources say he feels betrayed by his cousin’s willingness to associate with someone who has publicly trashed his wife. To him, it’s a matter of principle—if Eugenie can socialize with his enemies, then she isn’t truly in his corner.
Neither Harry nor Eugenie has commented on the reported rift, but royal insiders claim the situation has caused shockwaves within the family. Princess Beatrice, who was also present at the lunch, has remained silent, but some wonder if her relationship with Harry could also be affected.
Royal commentator Danielle Stacey noted that Eugenie was one of the first family members to meet Meghan and had always supported the couple’s decision to step back from royal life.
Losing her as an ally would mark yet another blow for Harry, whose relationships with most of his family members are already fractured.
Despite the current tension, some believe the cousins could still repair their bond. Eugenie has always been known for her diplomatic nature, and sources suggest she may try to reach out to Harry privately to clear the air. However, given Harry’s history of cutting ties with those who don’t align with his views, reconciliation may not come easily.
For now, this reported fallout adds yet another chapter to the ongoing royal drama. As Harry and Meghan continue to isolate themselves from the monarchy, their list of allies grows shorter. Will Eugenie and Harry ever mend their relationship, or is this the final nail in the coffin of their once-close bond.
