Meghan Markle has her eyes set on Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie as possible next targets to support her brand and wants Prince Harry to reach out to them, an insider has claimed.

The Princesses of York are known to have kept in contact with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex ever since their departure from the Royal Family and move to the US in 2020 despite the ongoing royal feud.

Harry and Meghan's close relationship with the Yorks was also highlighted after it was revealed Eugenie was the first royal to be introduced to the former Suits actress when she and Harry started dating.

Now Meghan is said to want to utilise that friendship and boost her brand's image even more.

The Duchess soft-launched her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard back in March and has since rolled out three products to be sold under its name - strawberry jam, raspberry jam and dog biscuits. The full list of a wide range of products is thought to hit the shelves by the end of 2024.

However, according to a source, Meghan aims to gather as much support as she can before her brand's hard launch and is counting on Prince Harry's closest allies within the Firm to achieve that.

The insider told GB News: "Meghan is looking for support wherever she can get it."

"Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice are at the top of her list, but she is shooting even higher and would love to get King Charles to give his stamp of approval.

"Despite all the drama, Meghan does not see why they should not be able to drum up some support and backing."

The source added that the Duchess wants her husband to "reach out to anyone in the family that he's still got access to."

The insider claimed: "She [Meghan] still believes that there is a lot more support for them inside the royal family than people let on, and thinks it would be foolish not to ask for help."

It comes as Prince Harry's relationship with the Firm is seen as "frostier than ever" with the Duke coming to the UK twice this year, once in February after King Charles's cancer diagnosis was announced and once back in May for an Invictus Games event in London.

Harry did not meet with any members of the Royal Family during his second trip back to his home country, while he is said to not be on "speaking terms" with his older brother, Prince William.
