The Duke of Sussex reportedly severed ties with his cousin, Princess Eugenie, following a night out with former Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan.
This claim, originally shared in The Sun, was confirmed by the outspoken journalist during a chat with Daily Mail columnist Maureen Callahan on his Uncensored show.

To which, Piers quickly interjected: “Well, that was because of me actually – the Eugenie thing – because she was with me and a group of other people in a pub in London. “I was seen hugging them goodbye, and Harry saw this and went completely ballistic. And I can confirm – breaking news – that this is entirely true.”
Both Eugenie and her sister Princess Beatrice were spotted exiting The Princess Royal pub in Notting Hill where they had enjoyed a long lunch alongside Piers and James Blunt back in 2023
The revelation has sparked fresh discussion about the state of Prince Harry’s relationships within the royal family.

She was one of the first family members to visit Harry and Meghan in California and was seen spending time with them during their UK visits.
However, it appears that her association with Piers – who has been a vocal critic of Harry and Meghan – may have fractured their once-close relationship.

While neither Prince Harry nor Princess Eugenie has publicly commented on the claims, royal watchers are now speculating about the depth of the fallout.
Prince Harry and Piers Morgan’s history
Piers and the Sussexes have traded comments since Meghan and Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey, when the couple accused a royal of raising “concerns” about their son’s skin colour and the Duchess spoke about her mental health issues.
In 2021, the broadcaster made headlines after leaving Good Morning Britain following an on-air clash with weather presenter Alex Beresford. Watch the clip below…
Piers’ GMB colleague criticised him for “continuing to trash” Meghan the day after the ex-tabloid editor said he “didn’t believe a word” the Duchess told Oprah.
Before his departure, Meghan made a formal complaint to ITV bosses about the presenter whose comments sparked more than 50,000 complaints to Ofcom.
