Princess Eugenie is saying a royal goodbye to her dear friend Michelle Trachtenberg, and let’s just say—this one hurts.
The Gossip Girl star passed away at the age of 39, leaving behind a trail of heartbroken fans, friends, and possibly a few restaurant servers still recovering from her legendary menu precision.
On Thursday (February 27), Princess Eugenie took to the internet streets to pour her heart out, calling Michelle a “special friend” in a message so touching, even the royal corgis probably shed a tear.
“Goodbye, special friend. You are so loved and missed. Thank you for so many memories of laughter and fun. You were so thoughtful and generous and soooo funny,” Eugenie wrote, making sure to stretch out the “so” for dramatic effect. “My favourite was listening to you order food, always done with precision so you got exactly what we all wanted.”
Yes, Michelle didn’t just act. She had a gift. A gift for ordering food like an absolute pro. No missing side sauces, no questionable substitutions—just culinary perfection every time.
“I’m thinking of you up there, friend, of your spirit that was so bright and the joy you brought so many,” Eugenie concluded, making us all feel like we should light a candle… or at least place an impeccably detailed food order in Michelle’s honor.
As for Michelle’s passing, details remain unclear. Reports suggest an organ transplant in the recent past, and her family has chosen to keep further medical information private.
While Hollywood and beyond mourns, one thing is certain: Michelle Trachtenberg’s legacy—both on-screen and in the fine art of food ordering—will live on forever.
RIP to a real one. 🍔💔
