A source told Us Weekly that the pair “bonded” over becoming pregnant.
The Duchess of Sussex announced she was pregnant with her and Prince Harry‘s second child in February, the same month Eugenie gave birth to son August with her husband Jack Brooksbank.
The source said: “Eugenie is really the only member of the Royal Family that Meghan is still close to.”
The source add that Meghan and Eugenie were “sort of an unlikely pair, but remain in contact”.
Both women married their husbands in 2018 at St George’s Chapel, just five months apart.
Finding Freedom authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand said Harry and Eugenie were the “closest of friends”.
Eugenie was reportedly the first to find out about Harry’s relationship with Meghan.
Once Harry settled down with Meghan, it was reported the couple went on a number of double dates with Eugenie and Jack.
BULLYING ALLEGATIONS
It comes as Meghan faces allegations of bullying staff made by one of her closest advisers during her time at Kensington Palace.
A source told The Times she drove two personal assistants out of the household and undermined the confidence of a third.
In 2017, shortly after Harry and Meghan announced their engagement, a senior aide told the happy couple their treatment of staff had caused difficulties.
According to The Times, the pair were told staff needed to be treated well, even if they were not performing to their standards.
But Meghan is said to have replied: “It’s not my job to coddle people.”
Sources said staff were bullied and some were even reduced to tears due to the difficult demands.
