Princess Eugenie 'broke ranks' to be at Super Bowl with Prince Harry, claims expert

The annual Super Bowl is a star-studded event, filled with excitement and drama, as some high-end celebs mixed in with the sporting crowd.

Last year's event was graced by British royalty, as Prince Harry attended alongside his cousin, Princess Eugenie, reports the Mirror.

Eugenie was the first royal to be pictured visiting Harry in the States, since he and wife Meghan stepped down from duties to move in early 2020.

The couple are known to have a tense relationship with the Royal Family, following their decision to step down from the Firm in the same year.

They have spoken out on numerous occasions, including various interviews, a bombshell memoir written by Harry, and even a controversial Netflix docuseries - that Eugenie actually appeared in.

Speaking at the time, royal expert and biographer Duncan Larcombe said that by Eugenie publicly supporting Harry at the Super Bowl, she was "breaking ranks" from the rest of her family.

The royal expert told OK!: "The royals have stayed quite consistent and firm when it comes to Harry and Meghan, as we’ve seen.

“Eugenie is breaking ranks from the rest of the royals by being seen so publicly to endorse Harry and Meghan in their new life. It endorses what they said about the royals. No other member of the family would be seen dead anywhere near Harry and Meghan.

"There are those that think that Eugenie is Harry’s only hope of him being brought back in should things not work out in paradise, so at least he is talking to someone in the Royal Family.

"By seeing Eugenie there, it looks like the only link he still has with his family."

Eugenie announced the news she was expected another child with husband Jack Brooksbank, as the Princess shared a sweet family photograph of her son August kissing her bump.

Buckingham Palace said the royal family is "delighted" and that August is "very much" looking forward to becoming a big brother.

The baby will be born 13th in line to the throne and he or she will be the first of the Queen’s great-grandchildren to be born since her death.

According to royal expert and editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine, Ingrid Seward said that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex would be some of the first to find out about Eugenie's news.

She told the Mirror: "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex would have been amongst the first to hear the news of Eugenie’s pregnancy.

"Meghan and Harry are close with Eugenie – and not only has she stayed with them in California, but they have been on holidays together before Harry’s marriage.

"If the Sussexes come to the coronation in May, there will be an added incentive to see Eugenie as by then it is doubtful if she will want to travel herself."
