Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice 'cut Prince Harry and Meghan Markle off' in new royal pledge

Eugenie, in particular, had a strong bond with Harry and was the first member of the Royal Family that he introduced his now wife Meghan Markle to when they first began dating.

However, Harry's relationship with his cousins appears to have become frosty this year.

Beatrice and Eugenie have not seen the Duke of Sussex during either of his two trips to the UK in 2024.

The York sisters were notably absent from Harry's Invictus Games event in London in May.

The royals did join Prince Harry's older brother Prince William at a garden party at Buckingham Palace just weeks after missing the Invictus event.

Prince William and Prince Harry remain locked in a bitter royal feud and have not spoken this year.

An insider has now claimed that Beatrice and Eugenie have stopped speaking with Harry and Meghan.

The source added that the sisters have shifted away from the Sussexes and instead pledged allegiance to the Royal Family.

The insider told the Express: "Beatrice and Eugenie have firmly pledged their allegiance to the Royal Family.
