Fitzwilliams highlighted the friendship between Harry and Eugenie as having the potential to help bridge the gap between the Sussexes and the Royal Family.
He said: "Princess Eugenie knows what she is doing.
"The fact she is close to the Sussexes could be an advantage. You need a foot in both camps.
