Princess Eugenie has taken protective measures to avoid further controversy; however, Meghan Markle saw it as a 'betrayal.' The youngest daughter of Andrew is one of those royals who maintained friendship with the Sussexes despite their royal exit. But when the Duchess expressed a desire to have any kind of business collaboration based in Europe, Eugenie stepped back, per reports.
An insider told Radar, "Meghan may understandably see Eugenie as somebody with whom she has a genuine personal connection and who also understands the extraordinary pressures surrounding royal life." But friendship is very different from attaching yourself publicly to somebody else's commercial operation.
Princess Eugenie, especially after her parents' royal downfall, wants to keep her private and public relations separate. "...her lack of support when the Sussexes come back to Britain is likely to be seen as a complete betrayal from Meghan's point of view," the source claimed.
The new mother has already been through a lot of scrutiny since the shocking revelations about her parents in Epstein files. "The last thing she needs is another wave of headlines suggesting she has chosen a side in the Sussex dispute or is using her royal connections commercially. A private friendship with Meghan can continue perfectly well without becoming a business partnership," the source said.
