Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s “last friends” in the Royal Family have been spotted “supporting” Prince William, having reportedly “turned their backs” on the Sussexes.

Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice have been long-time friends of Harry, with Eugenie even visiting the Duke and Duchess at their US home in 2022.

However, the York sisters were recently spotted at a Buckingham Palace garden party supporting Prince William, while he continued with royal duties as his wife, Princess Kate recovers from cancer treatment.

Writing to her 1.8 million Instagram followers, Eugenie said: “Come rain or shine, I was delighted to support my family yesterday.”

Eugenie, 34, and older sister Beatrice, 35, have increased their royal duties since the King was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, reports Woman’s Day.

An insider told the publication: “Bea and Eugenie can’t imagine what William is going through right now, and it was an honour for them to give him some support.

“The York sisters were determined not to let him down.”

The palace insider told the publication the pair are “overjoyed” to be taking a more prominent role in the family, and that Beatrice has been considered “flawless” of late.

However, they claimed Eugenie was on an “unofficial blacklist” after hosting Harry and Meghan at her Portugal home last year.

The insider added: “But that was last year and she’s worked hard to prove her commitment to the royals. She didn’t reach out to Harry when she was in LA in February.

“This confirmed his worst fears that his last line to his family was over.”

The source claimed neither Eugenie or Beatrice had contacted Harry this year, stating “everyone’s focus is on getting Kate and William through this crisis”.

While reports say William is not a fan of King Charles’s “slimmed-down monarchy”, the insider claims he sees Eugenie and Beatrice as “assets” to the family.

They said it “makes sense” to bring the pair back into the fold under the current circumstances.
