Prince Harry's tight-knit bond with Princess Eugenie as she appears in Netflix show

Relations between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and the Royal Family may be rocky to say the least - especially given their explosive Netflix series.

However, there is one royal who the Sussexes seem to still have a close bond with - and private pictures of her have appeared in their docuseries.

In the first episode of Harry & Meghan, the couple can be seen in previously private snaps enjoying a fancy dress party with Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank.

They appear to have been snapped at a post-apocalypse theme party in Toronto, where Meghan had been filming Suits, just days before it was revealed Harry and Meghan were dating.

Meanwhile, in the brand new trailer for the second part of the documentary which is released on Thursday, a snap is included of Harry and Eugenie on a bike ride, which looks like it was taken on a trip by the princess to California.

According to royal expert Katie Nicholl, Eugenie and Jack are among the few royals that Harry and Meghan still have a warm relationship with after stepping back from The Firm and moving to America.

Katie told OK! : "Eugenie and Jack are very close to Harry and Meghan.

"It's actually one of the few close relationships Harry and Meghan have retained in the royal family."

It appears that the bond between Harry and Eugenie has been a long-shared one that goes way back to when they were children.

Both their mothers, the late Princess Diana and Sarah Ferguson, were close friends, who spent a lot of time together. They even went on holiday together with the children also tagging along, forming the basis of the bond

As they grew older, the royal cousins hit the London club scene together and they were regulars at the popular London club, Mahiki, sneaking in the back entrance.

Insiders say that of all of the late Queen's grandchildren, Harry and Eugenie had the "most natural connections" and are the "closest of friends".

In their book Finding Freedom, authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand claim Harry and Eugenie's roles within the royal family was the base of their close relationship.

They write: "Like Harry, Eugenie also struggled to carve out her own identity growing up.

"Not being in a senior role meant that she had to go out into the world and find her own path, which she has done, moving to New York in 2013 to work at Paddle8, the auction house run by Misha's husband and Harry's friend Alexander.

"Harry had always confided in his cousin when it came to the women in his life.

"Not only did he trust her implicitly, but friends say that she gives great advice and has always been "beyond wise" for her years."

And due to this bond, Eugenie was one of the first people Harry told about Meghan, and he was keen to introduce them.

Recently, Eugenie and Jack, along with their son August, had been living at Frogmore Cottage, Meghan and Harrys's UK home.

And it's believed Eugenie may have been the first royal to have met Lilibet when she visited California earlier this year.

Eugenie's trip came to light when she and Harry were spotted at the Super Bowl in February, which was held in California.
