Princess Eugenie is grieving the tragic passing of her close friend, actress Michelle Trachtenberg. The news of Trachtenberg’s death at the age of 39 came as a shock, with the NYPD confirming that she was found deceased in her Midtown apartment on February 26. While there is no suspicion of foul play in Trachtenberg’s death, investigations are ongoing.
The bond between Princess Eugenie, 34, and the late Gossip Girl star was evident through the years, as Trachtenberg frequently shared photos of their friendship on her Instagram profile. In a touching post from 2020, Trachtenberg hailed Eugenie as one of the kindest and most genuine friends she had ever known. The British princess, known affectionately as “my girl E” by Trachtenberg, had lived in New York from 2013 to 2015 while working at the online auction house Paddle8.
Their friendship was showcased in various social settings, including a courtside appearance at a New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden in December 2013. The duo also explored the art scene together in Los Angeles, with Trachtenberg expressing gratitude for Eugenie’s friendship in multiple heartfelt posts over the years. Despite the physical distance resulting from Eugenie’s return to the U.K. for a new job at Hauser & Wirth in 2015, the bond between the two remained strong.
Trachtenberg’s unexpected passing has left Eugenie and their shared circle of friends devastated. The actress, renowned for her roles in Gossip Girl and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, had a successful career that spanned television and film. Her contributions to the entertainment industry, particularly as the iconic character Georgina Sparks, will be remembered fondly by fans and colleagues alike.
