Princess Eugenie steps down from anti-slavery charity amid Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor fallout

Princess Eugenie has stepped down from an anti-slavery charity amid her father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor‘s involvement in the Epstein files. The 35-year-old daughter of the former Duke of York and Sarah Ferguson has left her role at UK charity Anti-Slavery International, the world’s oldest human rights organisation, according to a new report in The Observer.

The princess’ profile has been removed from the charity’s website, which previously mentioned her work “across the board with leaders in the fight against modern slavery”.

In a statement addressing the royal’s exit, the charity said: “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 for good and deliver freedom for everyone.”

HELLO! has approached Anti-Slavery International for comment. There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing on the part of Princess Eugenie or her sister Princess Beatrice in connection with the Epstein files or her father’s arrest on 19 February on suspicion of misconduct in a public office.
