In a move that’s raising eyebrows across the royal sphere, King Charles has publicly honored his niece, Princess Eugenie, shortly after she appeared to distance herself from her cousin, Prince Harry.
According to reports from The Express, the King bestowed a special recognition on Eugenie, sparking speculation about her shifting loyalties. Insiders suggest this came hot on the heels of her decision to “snub” Harry amid his ongoing tensions with the royal family.
The drama reportedly unfolded when Eugenie opted to skip an event tied to Harry’s Invictus Games, a project he’s deeply passionate about. Instead, she was spotted supporting a cause closer to King Charles’ heart. A source told The Sun, “Eugenie’s choice was clear — she’s aligning herself with the King, not Harry.”
This isn’t the first time Eugenie’s actions have hinted at where her allegiance lies. Royal watchers point to her growing bond with Charles and Queen Camilla, especially as Harry’s rift with the family deepens. Her snub wasn’t subtle either — she reportedly declined a personal invite from Harry, choosing a low-key appearance at a charity event favored by the King.
King Charles, in turn, didn’t hold back his appreciation. During a recent public address, he praised Eugenie’s “dedication to duty,” a comment many see as a deliberate nod to her stepping away from Harry’s circle. The timing couldn’t be more telling, with Harry’s name barely mentioned in royal circles these days.
As the dust settles, it’s clear this royal recognition is more than just a pat on the back — it’s a signal. With Eugenie basking in the King’s favor and Harry on the outs, the family divide seems wider than ever.
