Princess Eugenie is strengthening her relationship with Prince William, with whom she shares a growing interest in environmental causes.
This new affinity has become more visible in recent months, while her close connection with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle seems to have cooled.
Eugenie Supports William’s Future Monarchy
Although Eugenie was one of the few royals to visit the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in California, the distance between them is now evident, according to some experts.

According to sources close to the Palace, Eugenie and William have strengthened their ties through their commitment to protecting the oceans.
This harmony has translated into collaborations both inside and outside the official sphere. Both have participated in activities with an environmental focus, and Eugenie was recently named a mentor for the King’s Foundation’s “35 Under 35” program, which promotes young leaders with social impact.
Although neither Eugenie nor her sister Beatrice are active members of the monarchy, their presence at recent events, such as the parties in the gardens of Buckingham Palace, suggests a willingness to collaborate when necessary.
This is particularly relevant in light of William’s plans for a smaller but more effective monarchy, in which he may call on his cousins in the future.
Eugenie, once seen as a bridge between Harry and the rest of the family, now seems to be aligning herself with the Prince of Wales’ vision.
