Andersen said: “The number of people inside the Royal Family who are willing to proclaim their friendship for Harry and Meghan has dwindled to practically nothing.
“No one wants to run afoul of the King and Prince William – it’s that simple.
“Somehow Prince Harry’s cousin Princess Eugenie, who has a home in Portugal, has been able to straddle the fence – to remain in the King’s good graces but also not turn her back on the Sussexes.
“Obviously, Harry and Meghan are very grateful for the loyalty Eugenie has shown.”

The royal author added: “Purchasing a villa in Portugal has more to do with being close to a Royal Family member who is still genuinely fond of them than it does with being geographically closer to Great Britain.
Princess Eugenie and Prince Harry have always had a close bond.
Eugenie was the first member of the Royal Family that was introduced to Meghan Markle by Prince Harry after they started dating.
Eugenie also featured in the Sussexes’ Netflix series titled Harry & Meghan which was released just one month before Spare in December 2022.
