The Duke of Sussex has distanced himself from his close cousin and “ally” Princess Eugenie after their relationship “soured”, according to reports.
The 40-year-old, who now lives in California with his wife Meghan Markle and their two children, is alleged to have become increasingly isolated since he left Britain nearly five years ago.
Insiders claimed Prince Harry rarely leaves the couple’s mansion in Montecito and has barely spoken to his family in years.
Eugenie - his last remaining royal ally - has been cast out by the paranoid duke, The Sun says.
She appeared briefly in his Netflix series during a visit to the US in 2022.
However, it is understood the friendship with his cousin - married to Jack Brooksbank - “foundered” after she was photographed last April with Piers Morgan - a strong critic of the Sussexes.
“A dim view was taken of this, as Piers has clashed with Meghan and Harry in the past,” a source told The Sun.
“Eugenie has been supportive of Harry and Meghan for years and was right there at the beginning of their relationship — but it has now soured.”
Harry and Meghan had even bought an investment property in Portugal near Eugenie and her husband’s home and holidayed there in 2023.
He announced that he and several trustees had quit Sentebale, the charity he set up with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho in 2006, amid a boardroom battle within the organisation.
Sophie Chandauka, who has been chairwoman since 2023, accused the duke of being “involved” in a “cover-up” of an investigation about bullying, harassment and misogyny at the organisation and said the “toxicity” of his “brand” had impacted the charity.
A source close to the former trustees and patrons of Sentebale dismissed Ms Chandauka’s comments as a “publicity stunt”.
The Standard approached Harry and Meghan’s spokesman for comment.
