Princess Eugenie looked stylishly cosy as she was pictured with sister Princess Beatrice and their friend\u00a0Natalie Pinkham at Casa Cruz in Notting Hill.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The mother-of-two, 33, wrapped up from the cold and appeared in good spirits as she left the Argentinian eatery after the dinner with Sky Sports presenter Natalie who used to be close friends with her cousin Prince Harry.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eugenie remains close to Harry, despite his feud with other members of the royal family, and the Duke and his wife Meghan Markle even jetted to Portugal to visit her\u00a0 after the Invictus Games.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie was also once part of Prince Harry’s inner circle and even had to shoot down rumours of a romance with the royal, who reportedly ‘ghosted her’ after meeting Meghan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But the cosy dinner proves there’s clearly no bad blood between the Princesses and Natalie, who they’ve been friends with for years.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
