King Charles's Strategic Use of Princess Eugenie's Connection with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

Reports suggest that King Charles is strategically considering the potential benefits of his granddaughter, Princess Eugenie, particularly due to her close relationship with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. According to royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams, this connection could be leveraged to mend ties with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Fitzwilliams noted, "Princess Eugenie knows what she is doing," emphasizing her strategic insight. He further explained that her proximity to the Sussexes could be advantageous for the monarchy. Building bridges with both sides is crucial, as there may come a time when a peaceful resolution is sought, making Princess Eugenie's role in facilitating communication and understanding particularly valuable.

These considerations come in the wake of reports that King Charles is looking to integrate Princess Eugenie and her sister, Princess Beatrice, into the working family members of the monarchy. Fitzwilliams also mentioned that Beatrice and Eugenie could potentially take on certain patronages, although they may not be serving as paid working royals in the foreseeable future. This shift could result in a reduction in the number of patronages within the monarchy.
