The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have purchased a property in Portugal

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have strong ties with Princess Eugenie with one of their favourite memories involving Halloween.

The princess is the closest member of the monarchy to the Sussexes and her importance may grow even further after Harry and Meghan purchased a property in Portugal.


Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, split their time between Portugal and the UK and have lived there for several years.

Princess Eugenie and Prince Harry have always had a close bond.

Eugenie was the first member of the Royal Family to be introduced to Meghan Markle by Prince Harry after they started dating.

The princess also featured in the Sussexes' Netflix series titled Harry & Meghan which was released just one month before Spare in December 2022.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle once enjoyed a secret Halloween night out in Toronto with Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank in 2016.

The foursome attended a post-apocalyptic-themed party, donning masks and heavy makeup to remain incognito.

In his memoir Spare, Prince Harry revealed he had borrowed actor Tom Hardy's entire Mad Max costume for the occasion.

The prince's choice of attire amused his then-girlfriend Meghan.

Harry recounted in Spare: "When I came out, she roared with laughter."

The couple's ability to enjoy a night out undetected highlights their close relationship with Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank.

Princess Eugenie has been lined up for a key role as she maintains ties with Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and the rest of the Royal Family, according to a royal commentator.

Royal commentator Jennie Bond said: "Eugenie undoubtedly does have something of a challenge on her hands to maintain good relationships with both Harry and Meghan - and the rest of the Royal Family.

"But I think the King is probably happy that Harry still has at least one royal cousin he clearly trusts, and presumably wants to see more of.

"The family are all so busy that they don’t really see that much of one another."

She added: "However, I think it’s a positive thing that Charles does have someone he can quietly ask about Harry‘s well-being if he is so inclined and Harry can presumably gauge the mood of the family via Eugenie."
