Princess Eugenie has stepped down from her role as an ambassador for the British human rights organization Anti-Slavery International, multiple British media outlets including the BBC have reported.
The princess held the position for seven years. The organization confirmed the end of the collaboration and thanked Eugenie for her support, expressing hope that she will continue to advocate against slavery.
No official reason has been given for the end of the partnership. The news comes shortly after new documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were made public, renewing scrutiny on Prince Andrew. Eugenie, her sister Beatrice, and their mother are mentioned several times in those files, though there is no indication they engaged in any wrongdoing. Eugenie has not yet publicly commented on the documents or the allegations against her father.
Simultaneously, another organization founded by Eugenie, The Anti-Slavery Collective, is under investigation by the British Charity Commission. According to the BBC, financial data reveals that more funds were allocated to salaries than to actual charitable causes. Read more at De Telegraaf.
The developments arrive as the British royal family continues to navigate public interest and scrutiny, with celebrity affiliations often drawing increased attention. Princess Eugenie was first seen in public on Tuesday since her father, Prince Andrew, was arrested last week. More articles about Princess Eugenie can be found at Telegraaf.nl.
