Princess Eugenie’s cousin Prince Harry is one of the “few people” she can still trust, the insiders said and added even the senior royals are not included in the list.

The source continued, “He has always been one of her favorite people, she lost a lot of points within the family when she refused to freeze him out but she says there was never a chance that she’d turn on him.

“And now she’s even more relieved that she didn’t give into pressure and turn her back on him and Meghan because they’ve now become her biggest supporters.”

The mole added Princess Eugenie has even gone so far as to say “they’ve been integral to her survival.”

“Having at least one person from the family that is telling her she doesn’t deserve any of this has meant everything to her.”

The report further claims that Eugenie has a “connection” and a “ton of empathy” for Meghan, too.

“Now that [Eugenie’s] felt firsthand what it’s like to have the entire establishment aligned against you, their bond is that much stronger,” the sources explained.
