It’s been a while since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry stepped back from royal duties, but the ripple effects still resonate. Among the many reactions, Princess Eugenie has found herself caught in a surprising crossfire. Some Meghan Markle critics insist they “will never trust” Eugenie. What’s behind that suspicion? Let’s dig into this tangled web because, honestly, it’s more complicated than a simple loyalty test.
Staying Neutral in a Stormy Family
At first glance, Eugenie’s closeness with the Sussexes—especially Harry—seems natural. After all, they have been close for years. It’s really not shocking that they keep in touch despite the well-publicized rifts within the family. Amanda Matta, a royal observer, points out that Eugenie’s friendliness probably doesn’t mean she’s taking sides but reflects her desire to stay neutral.
Did you ever think about how tough that must be? Trying not to pick sides when tensions run high isn’t easy—even if you’re a princess. Eugenie stands out because she has managed to keep her family ties intact without stepping too far into the spotlight or feeding into royal conflicts. I guess you could say she’s one of the rare royals who’s flying under the radar while maintaining friendships on both ends. That strikes me as both wise and practical.

Still, that doesn’t stop the Meghan supporters’ opponents from spinning stories. For example, Eugenie has been seen with Misha Nonoo, a fashion designer and longtime friend of Meghan. Some people on social media have taken that as a “red flag.” One X user bluntly stated, “I will never trust Eugenie … never.” Others turned the suspicion around, imagining Meghan’s reaction if her close friends got friendly with the royal family backlash. It’s a messy atmosphere full of mistrust all around.
One user called Eugenie a “double agent,” which sounds dramatic but hints at a broader point. People are deeply divided and assuming that no one can truly be neutral or loyal to both sides without hidden motives. Personally, I think that’s a bit too cynical—sometimes a friendship is just a friendship.
Can Eugenie Mend the Rift?
There’s been speculation that Eugenie’s neutral stance could make her the perfect person to help Harry and William patch things up. It’s a hopeful thought, right? But Amanda Matta isn’t so sure it’s realistic. She says Eugenie’s role in the royal family is informal; she’s not a power player with a mandate to broker peace.
Honestly, I think that makes sense. Family disputes—especially ones as public and complicated as these—aren’t easily solved by a quiet intermediary. It would be lovely if a few honest conversations could heal old wounds overnight, but this kind of drama doesn’t work like that. The idea that Eugenie could play peacemaker sounds optimistic, maybe even a little naive.

Looking at Eugenie’s connection with Misha Nonoo again—Nonoo isn’t just some new acquaintance. Their friendship has been around for years. Nonoo has been close to the royal family, and even shared photos with Eugenie way back in 2016. That longstanding relationship is more about genuine friendship than politics. So reading too much into those selfies as signs of betrayal or scheming feels unfair.
What is more interesting is how Eugenie’s conduct shows it might be possible to have personal connections on both sides of this family drama. Of course, she’s probably able to stay neutral because she’s trying hard to keep things private and personal rather than public and political. But keeping relationships behind closed doors? That’s easier said than done when you’re a public figure.
Nobody knows if other royals will follow suit and spend time with both the Sussexes and the Waleses without feeling caught in the crossfire. I’m not sure we’re quite there yet, though. There’s still so much tension, and the media spotlight seems to magnify every move.
Still, Eugenie’s approach offers a glimpse of something different—a quieter, less chaotic way of being royal amidst all the gossip and headlines.
