Princess Eugenie has been close cousins with Prince Harry since they were kids, but where does she stand with his brother (and enemy), Prince William? It looks like she isn’t taking sides in the brothers’ feud.
Eugenie hinted that she’s on good terms with William at a garden party at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday, May 20, hosted by William and his wife, Kate Middleton. Also in attendance were William and Eugenie’s cousin Zara Tindall; their aunt and uncle Prince Edward and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh; and King Charles‘ cousin Prince Edward, Duke of Gloucester, and his wife, Birgitte van Deurs Henriksen.

Eugenie and William’s public appearance together came a month after a source told People in April 2025 that Eugenie and Harry are still close despite the former Duke of Sussex’s fallout with William and his father, King Charles. “The Duke remains close to Princess Eugenie. They always have and always will be,” a source told the magazine at the time.

The report came after Piers Morgan claimed on his talk show Piers Morgan Uncensored that Harry went “completely ballistic” at Eugenie for being photographed with Morgan and others at a pub in London. People‘s source denied Morgan’s claim.
As for William and Harry, it doesn’t look like the brothers will reconcile anytime soon. A source told Page Six in May 2025 that the brothers haven’t spoken in two years and that their relationship had become so bad that those close to the princes can’t see Harry attending William’s coronation when he becomes king. The insider also added that they couldn’t even envision William inviting Harry after his BBC interview in which he blamed Charles for the his fallout with the royal family. “I think it’s done … I don’t think there’s [any] coming back from that,” the insider said. “Before the interview, we thought, ‘Come on William, extend a hand to your brother. But now it seems that Harry hasn’t learned s–t.”
A source also told Radar Online in May 2025 that Harry and William’s feud has put a strain on his marriage to Kate, who is keen to reconcile with Harry. “William is furious that Harry’s speaking out again and doing interviews – he’s convinced this isn’t the end of it,” the insider said. “He’s made it clear to the rest of the family that they should keep their distance from the Sussexes, because anything shared could be turned against them.”
The source continued, “William doesn’t like having to put his foot down with Kate, but he sees this as necessary to protect everyone. What he’s most worried about is that anything Kate says to Harry could be twisted or resurface later – especially if there’s another book, or if Meghan decides to tell her own side of the story.”
The insider added that, while Kate is also “upset” with Harry, she’s more likely to forgive him to reunite the family. “Kate’s deeply upset with Harry, but she’s also frustrated that William and the rest of the family have allowed things to deteriorate this badly,” the source said. “It’s heartbreaking for her to watch the family so publicly divided.”
