Princess Eugenie Pays Tribute To 'Special Friend' Michelle Trachtenberg
Princess Eugenie is mourning the loss of her 'special friend,' actor Michelle Trachtenberg. The royal posted a moving tribute to the late actor on her Instagram Story this week. Trachtenberg, 39, was confirmed dead on Wednesday after her mother discovered her in her New York City apartment. 'Goodbye special friend. You are so loved and missed,' Eugenie, 34, wrote, alongside a black and white photo of the two. 'Thank you for so many memories of laughter and fun. You were so thoughtful and generous and soooo funny.' 'My favourite was listening to you order food, always done with precision so you got exactly what we all wanted,' Eugenie recalled. 'I'm thinking of you up there friend, of your spirit that was so bright and your joy you brought so many.' Eugenie and Trachtenberg were pictured together in 2013 when the two sat courtside at a New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden. Eugenie lived in New York from 2013 to 2015 while working for auction house Paddle8. Eugenie also popped up on Trachtenberg's Instagram a few times over the years. In 2016, the 'Buffy' actor posted a photo of herself and Eugenie with a meaningful caption about the two's friendship. 'There are few people in life that you meet that you know are true and real,' Trachtenberg wrote. 'This lady happens to be one of them. Friends really do mean a lot.' A few years later, the 'Harriet the Spy' star paid tribute to her close friend once again and wrote a 'dedication to an amazing person' and 'wonderful human' who she met in New York. 'Eugenie has been one of the most dearest, kindest, most genuine friends I have ever had in my life,' Trachtenberg said. Police previously told HuffPost that 'criminality is not suspected' in the actor's death. Law enforcement sources told ABC News that the 'Gossip Girl' star had recently undergone a liver transplant and she may have faced complications after the operation. The outlet added that Trachtenberg's cause of death will remain undetermined, as her family objected to an autopsy due to religious reasons.
