Princess Eugenie is key to Prince Harry's ties to the Royal Family with a possible "mentor" emerging, a royal commentator has claimed.
On Christmas Day, Sarah Ferguson was welcomed back into the fold as she joined the Royal Family in Sandringham.
It was 32 years since the Duchess of York publicly joined her ex-husband Prince Andrew and her two daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, on the Norfolk estate for Christmas.
According to a royal commentator, Eugenie's current friendship with the Duke of Sussex could mean that Fergie will become a "mentor" to Harry and Meghan.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down as working royals in 2020, and have since published a memoir and a Netflix docuseries detailing their grievances with the King, Queen Camilla, and the Prince and Princess of Wales.
Jennie Bond explained how the Duchess of York's current relationship with the royals could give insight into the future relationship between them and the Sussexes.
She claimed: "If Sarah can be welcomed back after 30 years, hope is never lost for a reconciliation between father and son.
"We know that Eugenie has maintained a close relationship with Harry, perhaps Sarah could act as a mentor to help him reconcile with his father.
Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie have always been closePA"It was a significant illustration of the King putting into practice what he preaches.
"If he tells us all to 'treat others as we would wish to be treated', then it is helpful if we see him extending friendship and forgiveness to Sarah.
"And it does suggest that all is not lost with Harry and Meghan.
"Maybe, just maybe, Charles picked up the phone and called Harry and his grandchildren over in California during the Christmas festivities. We can but hope!

"But this is a new generation of royals, most of whom have had their own ups and downs, divorces, scandals and very public mistakes."
The commentator also told OK!: "They should and it seems do, have some sympathy for a woman who came into the family in a blaze of popularity, made several humiliating public mistakes, got divorced from a man who is still her best friend…and has clawed her way back from all sorts of money troubles."
