Meghan's 'hidden motive' when Harry 'let go of the leash' to attend the Super Bowl with Eugenie
It is well documented that the couple is close and that Meghan and Eugenie were friends even before the Sussexes got together.
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told the Daily Star that this link could "soften the gap between the Sussexes and the royal family."

He said: "The couples are close, Eugenie and Jack have been allowed the use of Frogmore Cottage, the Sussexes' home in Britain, as it is close to the Yorks, Eugenie's parents, who live at Royal Lodge. in Windsor.
“This has been especially helpful after Eugenie gave birth to Ella August last February. There are those who might hope that this friendship will help bridge the gap between the Sussexes and the royal family, as Harry's autobiography is due to be published later this year."
The cousins sat in their luxury box and the NFL UK Twitter account shared the photo on its account, writing: "Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie in the house at #SBLVI."
Most of the fans who commented on the post supported Harry and Eugenie.
One Twitter user wrote: "#PrinceHarry living his American dream. Good to see his cousin there with him #PrincesEugenie."

However, some thought there was more to the conspicuous absence of Harry's wife, Meghan Markle.
"Harry and his cousin at the Super Bowl but not Meghan. What's this?". one person tweeted.
Does Harry HATE cameras? Still they went and everyone is like ooooh, where is Meghan? And Meghan LOVES it," one woman theorized, perhaps wildly.
Another person said they found it "funny" that "someone who loves the cameras doesn't show up for the biggest sporting event of the year in America."
The couple, of course, have two children, Archie, two years old, and Lilibet, who does not yet have one, so it is very possible that the Duchess was at home taking care of them.
