Sarah Ferguson’s pointed remark about Meghan Markle has revealed the Royal Family’s eagerness to keep their distance from her and Prince Harry, an insider claims.

Despite rumours that Prince Harry maintains a warm relationship with his cousins Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, with the latter even visiting the Sussexes in Montecito, the Duchess of York’s recent comment paints a different picture.

Speaking to The Telegraph, she remarked on her connection with Meghan: “I don’t really know Meghan, I haven’t really met her.”

An insider told the Express that Ferguson’s statement might be a deliberate move to separate herself from Harry and Meghan, pointing out: “They were neighbours.

Royal Lodge is basically next door to Frogmore and the Yorks and Sussexes met quite often. Sarah taught Meghan how to curtsey and there have been other meetings.”

The source continued: “Both Harry and Meghan were quite surprised by Sarah’s comments and couldn’t understand why she would distance herself like that. It has caused a bit of distance between the families.”
