Royal Family LIVE: Inside Meghan Markle’s friendship with key Royal Family member
Meghan Markle may be estranged from the Royal Family, but she is still seemingly close to one key member. The Duchess of Sussex has been known to be close with Princess Eugenie, with the pair reportedly meeting around 2013, when the latter was working in New York, before Meghan started dating Prince Harry in 2016.
Harry and Meghan even bought a holiday home last year in Portugal in the same Portuguese resort where the Princess of York spends her summer months. It is not known exactly when the duchess met with the princess, however, during her infamous 2021 interview, she said when talking about meeting the late Queen Elizabeth at the time: "We were going for lunch at Royal Lodge, which is where some other members of the family live, specifically Andrew and Fergie, and Eugenie and Beatrice would spend a lot of time there. Eugenie and I had known each other before I knew Harry, so that was comfortable." Meanwhile, Harry also made a comment about the same meeting in his memoir, Spare, writing: "Euge and Jack were near Granny [Queen Elizabeth] and they almost seemed to pretend not to know Meg. They were very quiet, very proper. Each gave Meg a quick kiss on the cheek, but it was pure royal. Pure British."
