Prince Harry won't fall out with Beatrice and Eugenie, despite Piers Morgan friendship

Tomorrow is the big day, King Charles will officially be crowned and thousands of people will gather to celebrate the historic event - but many Royal fans many are curious as to what the atmosphere will be like as Prince Harry jets in from America.

The Duke of Sussex is missing his son's fourth birthday to be at his father's Coronation, and will arrive in the UK alone as Meghan Markle will stay at home, though it's reported he'll hot-foot it back for the celebrations in California straight after the main ceremony.

Speculation has been heightened after Harry's cousins Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice were spotted meeting with Piers Morgan - who is one of the Prince's biggest and most outspoken critics, writes The Mirror.

But according to one royal expert, Prince Harry "won't burn the final bridge", despite his relationship with the princesses being on the rocks after they were spotted meeting with the former GMB host.

The journalist lost his job at ITV after refusing to apologise for comments he made about Meghan.

As we reported last week, Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice met up with Piers and other pals, including singer James Blunt, at The Princess Royal pub in London's Notting Hill neighbourhood. They were spotted laughing and joking with the controversial presenter as they left.

Prince Harry was said to be less than impressed by the development.

A royal expert told OK! that after everything Piers has said about the couple - especially Meghan, who he's branded 'Princess Pinocchio' - Harry and Meghan are shocked that they've gone behind their backs.

But neither Princess Eugenie or Beatrice think they have done anything wrong, they were simply keen to get to know the presenter, as they would like to be grilled about their lives as he has done with other high-profile names.

Apparently, the sisters were so eager to work with Piers that they reached out to the King to ask for his blessing before agreeing to anything.

Many royal fans are keen to see Harry would interact with his cousins at the Coronation on Saturday, May 6. But royal expert Tessa Dunlop has predicted Harry "will smile" and look beyond it.

She said: "Knowing Piers, he's a massive royalist. Love him or loathe him, he's one of the very few presenters with global reach, so people overseas know who Piers Morgan is.

"I think Eugenie and Beatrice, who have been somewhat overshadowed by the saga that accompanied their father, probably recognise that they can't afford to alienate people like Piers Morgan.

She added: "So I don't blame them, if they're in chats or at least being polite or if they were seen hanging out alongside Piers Morgan, I don't believe they can't be friends with Harry.

"I understand why the girls are doing it because I think they're in a difficult position and actually they behave in a very discreet impressive fashion given all the nonsense that they've had to put up with for both their father and their mother and in the way in which it has been cast into part of the royal family narrative in the press, they’ve just kept their heads down.”

Speaking about Harry, Tessa said: "Harry is probably a bit disappointed but I’m sure he’s not that thin-skinned, you can't control your cousins or friends' contact list."
