People recently reported that Princess Eugenie and Prince Harry’s “close relationship remains intact” despite feud rumors.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
While Prince Harry and Meghan Markle\u2019s strained relationship with the royal family<\/a> shows no signs of mending, some royals are playing Switzerland when it comes to picking sides. Princess Eugenie is staying out of the ongoing royal rift<\/a>, which she demonstrated by publicly hanging out with one of Markle\u2019s closest friends during the 2025 Royal Ascot on Friday.<\/p>\n While mingling with King Charles, Princess Anne\u2019s daughter Zara Tindall, her mom Sarah Ferguson, and her husband Jack Brooksbank, Princess Eugenie took a break from the royal fold to spend some time with Misha Nonoo and even snap some selfies during the June 20 races. It appeared there were no hard feelings from King Charles over the hangout, as the monarch was also photographed smiling and kissing his niece\u2019s hand during the annual horse race.<\/p>\n Getty Images<\/p>\n Princess Eugenie taking a selfie with Misha Nonoo at the June 20 Royal Ascot<\/p>\n The British-Bahraini fashion designer has been close to Markle since her Suits days, and the As Ever lifestyle maven even wore the brand\u2019s oversized “husband shirt\u201d for her first appearance with Prince Harry. In addition to being a part of the same social circles as Markle, Nonoo is also rumored to be the person who introduced Meghan and Harry in the first place.<\/p>\n Despite Meghan and Harry\u2019s exit from their working royal duties, it appears the longtime besties are still close. Markle and Nonoo snapped several photos together at the G9 Ventures Summer Summit last summer before the launch of her lifestyle brand.<\/p>\n Getty Images<\/p>\n King Charles with Princess Eugenie at the June 20 Royal Ascot races<\/p>\n Nonoo is in the same boat as Princess Eugenie when it comes to balancing her friendships<\/a>, as she\u2019s also rubbed shoulders with a royal crowd for years and is close with both Eugenie as well as her sister. Last year, she even vacationed with Princess Beatrice in Jordan along with Karlie Kloss and Ellie Goulding.<\/p>\n Despite reports that Princess Eugenie is in a \u201crather precarious position<\/a>\u201d balancing both her relationships with Prince Harry and the rest of the royal family, People<\/a> reported in April that the cousins\u2019 \u201cclose relationship remains intact<\/a>\u201d amid feud rumors.<\/p>\n Getty Images<\/p>\n Meghan Markle hugging friend Misha Nonoo in 2019<\/p>\n Princess Eugenie isn\u2019t the only royal who still has a relationship with Markle\u2019s friends, as Zara Tindall was also photographed hanging out with Delfina Blaquier<\/a> back in January. Similarly to Nonoo, Blaquier is also close with both the royals as well as the Sussexes, but it looks like they\u2019ve figured out how to balance both relationships without getting in the middle of their rift.<\/p>\n![\"Getty](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/acfdcf9f1c18c98bd1b1629cfaba1c86.jpeg\"\/)
