As far as I can recall, Eugenie knew Misha Nonoo. Then Markus Anderson (Soho House ‘fixer’) reportedly introduced Misha Nonoo to Meghan Markle in 2014.
Meghan then met Eugenie. At some point Meghan met Harry. Recollections of how this came about have varied.
Meghan didn’t know who Eugenie’s father was until he was pointed out to her by Harry (at Andrew’s former residence, Royal Lodge). Harry believes that Meghan thought Andrew was a member of staff. Confused? You will be.
Harry reportedly was unhappy with the photograph of Eugenie and Beatrice hugging Piers Morgan (whom Meghan didn’t like) outside a London boozer where they’d had a good lunch. This was in 2023.
However Harry seems to have got over it, and has very recently invited ‘distraught’ Beatrice to Montecito.
Eugenie was photographed being friendly with Misha Nonoo at last summer’s Royal Ascot (2025), taking smiling selfies with her.
Misha Nonoo’s friendship is a real social prize for the talentless and the financially aspirational, being as she is (a) actually successful, and (b) married to Mike Hess an oil corporation heir worth multiple billions, thus allied to the social and economic stratosphere. She is everything and has everything that certain players on the scene do not. I have no idea if she is aware of this, and ever feels used, or if she still enjoys the friendships with, for example, 3rd rate royal-aligned grifters.
