Prince Harry Contacted Princess Eugenie After Meghan Markle’s Personal Gift Appears on eBay

Prince Harry has contacted Princess Eugenie after a personally inscribed copy of Meghan Markle’s book unexpectedly appeared for sale on eBay leaving the Duke and Duchess of Sussex feeling hurt and embarrassed.

The discovery reportedly struck a nerve because the book was not an ordinary copy. Meghan had personally dedicated it to Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, making its appearance on the resale platform particularly uncomfortable for the Sussexes.

According to an unnamed source cited in reports, Harry wanted an explanation after learning that the sentimental gift had surfaced online. The incident has allegedly raised questions about trust at a time when his relationship with Eugenie was said to be improving.

The source claimed that Harry contacted his cousin after he and Meghan became aware of the listing, seeking to understand how the book had ended up for sale.

“Harry called Eugenie after they saw the story and wanted to know exactly what had happened,” the insider alleged.

For Meghan, the reported appearance of the book was particularly upsetting because of the personal message she had written inside it. What may have been intended as a warm gesture between friends and family had unexpectedly become a public talking point.

The situation also reportedly embarrassed the Duchess because the dedication connected the book directly to Eugenie and Jack, rather than being a generic message in a retail copy.

The source suggested that Harry’s reaction was influenced by how important his relationship with Eugenie had become amid his complicated ties to the wider Royal Family.

“The Duke sees his relationship with Eugenie as increasingly important. That’s why he reacted so strongly,” the insider claimed.

The source added that the cousins had reportedly been getting along better, with Harry viewing Eugenie as someone he could trust and rely upon during visits to the UK.

That alleged progress may help explain why the incident was said to have affected the Sussexes so deeply. Any suggestion that a personal gift had been discarded could be particularly sensitive when family relationships are already under strain.

However, the circumstances surrounding the listing remain unclear. The appearance of a book on eBay does not, by itself, establish who listed it, how it left its original owner or whether Eugenie had any involvement in its sale.

According to the same source, Eugenie was reportedly mortified by the situation and insisted that she had neither deliberately disposed of the book nor sold it herself.

If that account is accurate, the incident may have resulted from circumstances that have not yet been publicly explained, rather than a deliberate attempt to offend Meghan.

Nevertheless, the source claimed that Meghan wanted a cooling-off period with Eugenie after the discovery, suggesting that the episode had caused fresh discomfort in their relationship.

Neither Harry nor Meghan has publicly confirmed the alleged confrontation, and no verified explanation for the book’s appearance on eBay has been established in the supplied account.

For now, the reported incident has fuelled speculation about the state of the Sussexes’ relationship with Eugenie. Whether it leads to a lasting rift or proves to be a misunderstanding remains uncertain.
