Hello everyone, welcome back to another episode providing you with the latest royal news and taking a deeper look at the analysis. As many of you saw in the headlines last week, there appears to be some tension emerging between certain members of the royal family. Images surfaced of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie out with prominent Sussex critic Piers Morgan, raising some eyebrows about where their loyalties may lie. Let's take a closer look at what seems to be unfolding and the factors potentially contributing to strained relations.

It came as a surprise to many to see Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie laughing and socializing with Piers Morgan, someone who has relentlessly criticized Prince Harry and Meghan over the past few years. As the source indicated, Harry and Meghan would understandably be "astonished" by this, given everything negative Morgan has said about them as a couple, especially Meghan who he has often mocked and disparaged. However, according to the report, the princesses don't believe they have done anything wrong by spending time with Morgan.

But how did it get to this point? Prior to Harry and Meghan's move to North America and Harry's upcoming memoir release, Eugenie in particular is said to have enjoyed a close relationship with the Sussexes. However, tensions are reported to have emerged following a number of incidents. One such factor was comments made by Sarah Ferguson on American television where she downplayed how well she knew Meghan, which would have come as a shock to Harry and Meghan who viewed her as a close friend.
This adds context to another reported spat between the brothers - it's said Harry had to vigorously advocate for Fergie to attend his wedding, despite reluctance from other royals. So for her then to publicly distance herself from Meghan must have been difficult for the Sussexes to witness. Around the same time, tensions were also high due to living arrangements - while residing at Frogmore Cottage, the Sussexes' neighbors were none other than Fergie and Prince Andrew at the Royal Lodge.

Then there is the matter of the cottage itself. Speculation mounted when the keys to Frogmore were handed over to Eugenie after Harry and Meghan's departure. While she may have simply wanted to inhabit the empty residence, one can imagine how the symbolism of this could be perceived by the Sussexes.

Adding fuel to the fire was a comment from an unnamed source about alleged tensions emerging when the princesses requested permission from King Charles for an interview with Piers Morgan. They reportedly want to tell their side of things and discuss their new lives in a "very positive light." Perhaps they see an opportunity to control the narrative and distance themselves from past family dramas through Morgan, who would surely spin things favorably for the princesses.

All of this contextualizes the reported surprise and astonishment at seeing Beatrice and Eugenie socializing so warmly with one of their harshest media critics. Of course we don't know every detail of their private relations, but it's easy to connect the dots and understand how the Sussexes may feel betrayed or that loyalties have shifted since they left the UK. The question is, will these divisions impact family dynamics moving forward, particularly as major royal events like the coronation loom? Only time will tell if a true rift has opened or if tensions can be reconciled.

So in summary, comments from Sarah Ferguson distancing herself from Meghan, Eugenie reportedly wanting Frogmore Cottage, and the princesses now seeking an audience with Morgan have seemingly all contributed to the perception that Beatrice and Eugenie have turned their backs on Harry and Meghan. With Harry's memoir and Netflix projects also coming, further insights or accusations could exacerbate tensions before they have the chance to ease. Of course the royals will try to put on a united front in public, but behind palace walls the relationships appear to have become rather complicated.
