Princess Eugenie has seemingly paid a subtle tribute to Meghan Markle as the festive season approaches. The Princess of York recently made an appearance at Springfield Hospital, supporting a mental health initiative that holds a special place in the heart of the Duchess of Sussex.
During her official engagement, Eugenie visited the hospital in support of Hospital Rooms, an organization close to Meghan Markle’s passions, particularly her work in mental health awareness. The charity is known for bringing creativity, color, and kindness into mental health hospitals, a cause Meghan has long advocated for. Eugenie, an art lover herself, expressed her admiration for the initiative in a heartfelt post on Instagram.
Sharing a series of photos from her visit, the princess wrote, “It was an absolute pleasure to visit another incredible project championed by @_hospitalrooms at Springfield Hospital @swlstg last week.” The post was accompanied by a message of appreciation for the project’s work in transforming mental health spaces through art.
She continued, “Hospital Rooms brings creativity, colour and kindness to mental health hospitals and as an avid art lover, it was truly incredible to see.” Her words highlighted the power of creativity and the positive impact it can have on patients’ mental well-being. “During my visit @_hospitalrooms shared their inspiring art programme and I was fortunate enough to meet the amazing teams and patients on Bluebell Ward and at Springfield Hospital #hospitalrooms,” she added.
While Eugenie’s visit was centered on supporting a vital cause, it has been speculated that the princess might have been paying a subtle homage to Meghan Markle. Known to be the Sussexes’ most prominent royal ally, Eugenie has long maintained a close relationship with Harry and Meghan. This gesture comes at a time when tensions within the royal family are high, particularly with King Charles’ reported decision to not extend an invitation to Prince Harry and Meghan for the upcoming Christmas celebrations.
The royal family’s exclusion of the Sussexes from their holiday plans has been widely discussed in the media, with many speculating about the ongoing rift. Despite the lack of a formal invitation, it seems Princess Eugenie’s actions are speaking volumes in terms of her unwavering support for her cousins.
In addition to supporting mental health initiatives, Eugenie’s relationship with Meghan and Harry is a reminder of the power of familial bonds, even in the midst of royal tensions. While the Sussexes have faced challenges within the royal family, Princess Eugenie has consistently been one of the few members of the royal circle to show them kindness and understanding.
As the royal family prepares for the holiday season, Eugenie’s tribute to Meghan through her engagement with Hospital Rooms serves as a reminder that not all royal relationships are marked by division. Despite the Christmas snub, the Princess of York continues to show her support for causes that resonate with the Duchess of Sussex, all while shining a light on the importance of mental health advocacy.
