Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Look to Expand U.S. Inner Circle With Princess Beatrice
Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are reportedly giving serious thought towards reinventing themselves in America, and a source exclusively tells Examiner that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are eager to help them make the transition.
According to the source, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are already thinking about how Beatrice, 37, and Mozzi, 42, could fit into their growing U.S. circle while also staying closely connected to Princess Eugenie.
“Meghan and Harry are closer with Eugenie, that’s no secret, but they’re still extremely fond of Beatrice, as well as Edo, and have been in touch to offer their support,” the source says.
The support comes amid ongoing scrutiny surrounding Beatrice and Eugenie, 36, due to their father Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’s arrest on February 19.
The former prince was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office amid allegations that he shared confidential information with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein while working as a British trade envoy. Andrew, 66, has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
“They know firsthand how vicious and relentless the British media can be, as well as the royals, of course,” the source explains. “It seems so unfair to them just how much negativity and punishment both the York girls are dealing with through no fault of their own.”
The Sussexes are said to be ready to step in if Beatrice and her husband decide to relocate.
“If Beatrice and Edo decide to follow through with this plan and move to America they’ll have the full support of Harry and Meghan,” the source continues, noting that they would “be happy to introduce them to some of their contacts and try to find work for them, too.”
However, it’s not like Harry, 41, and Meghan, 44, wouldn’t get something out of the deal as well.
“The idea of effectively leading a select group of hand-picked former royals is very appealing,” the source shares. “Plus, it’ll be a real treat for Harry to have his cousins closer by. In the meantime he’s planning to meet up with them in the UK and brainstorm how he and Meghan can help.”
