Princess Eugenie is reportedly not looking forward to supporting Prince Harry amid the UK return as he potentially becomes Princess Beatrice's Cotswolds neighbour.
As reported by Daily Express, a source claimed that Harry's once close bond with both of Andrew Monuntbatten-Windsor's daughters have suffered a prominent crack in the shadows of the Epstein files scandal.
A major blow to Prince Harry
Eugenie's decision to keep Harry's at arm's length, despite being considered one of the closed member of the firm to Sussexes could serve as a massive blow to the Duke.
Princess Eugenie and Prince Harry's close bond
The Princess was the only family member in the Sussexes 2022 Netflix documentary series, and was also one of the first relatives to visit the couple in California and spent time with them during their trips back to Britain.
Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, even spent time in Frogmore Cottage, the Sussexes' former UK base, after the birth of their first child, August, in 2021.
The insider claimed, "Harry and Meghan are not so close to Beatrice and Eugenie anymore, and Harry did not see Eugenie over the summer in Portugal."
"Beatrice and Eugenie are not even in touch - and Eugenie was once so close to him," the source added.
The source also warned that the Sussexes will need to "make some serious social inroads and gatherings to get back in the fold".
Both Eugenie, who earlier this month gave birth to her third child, daughter Adelaide Elizabeth Annina Brooksbank, and Harry own properties in Portugal.
Yet sources have suggested that Eugenie did not met Harry and Meghan when they recently visited the European country.
Princess Eugenie's potential snub came as it was reported that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are planning to move to the UK temporarily.
According to a source, the Sussexes could leave for another country at any time, adding that the return to the Britain would not be "forever".
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could reportedly move to another country after the UK.
Describing the duo as an "international couple", a source told The New York Times said, "They might suddenly go: 'Why don't we try Canada for a while? Why don't we try Australia?' It's one of the great things about being private individuals [that they can live where they choose]."
Another source told the outlet that the Duke and Duchess waited for their children's admission confirmation before informing King Charles about their travel plans.
