Former Prince Andrew’s daughter, Princess Eugenie, has stepped down from her 7-year patronage.
Due to her father’s connections with the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, Princess Eugenie and her sister Princess Beatrice have also suffered the revocation of royal perks and privileges.
Princess Eugenie has stepped down as a patron of the UK charity Anti-Slavery International, which is the world’s oldest human rights organization. After her profile had been removed from Anti-Slavery International’s website, the statement was released expressing,
“After seven years, our patronage from HRH Princess Eugenie of York has come to an end. We thank the Princess very much for her support for Anti-Slavery International. We hope that she continues to work to end slavery.”
Over the years, she has contributed to these causes immensely, as she co-founded another charity, the Anti-Slavery Collective, with her friend Julia de Boinville in 2017, along with campaigning on modern slavery and trafficking for years. Though it was also recorded that in the year ending 5 April 2025, the charity she founded had spent twice as much on salaries, which had led the Charity Commission to address the concerns.
This wasn’t the only thing that has affected her, as, earlier this month, it was reported by the Daily Mail that both the sisters and their parents, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson, are said not to be joining the annual horse racing event, the Royal Ascot, in June. Though according to the same source, the sisters have been trying to stay away from the controversy.
