Princess Eugenie has stepped out publicly for the first time since the scandal engulfing her father, Prince Andrew, in a new role handed to her by King Charles III. The mother of two attended a mentoring session held by The King's Foundation for its 35 under 35 network at a London hotel.
It was announced in May that Eugenie, a niece of the King, had been appointed as a mentor for the charity. The 35 under 35 network was established in the foundation's 35th anniversary year to promote sustainability, traditional crafts, and the arts. Eugenie delivered the introductory address, speaking about the value of mentorship and how her passion for art has shaped her career as a director of the art gallery Hauser and Wirth.
Eugenie said: 'It was fantastic to spend more time with the 35 under 35, who are such an incredible group of talented young people. I have enjoyed getting to know them better and hearing about their work and aspirations, and look forward to supporting their journeys into the future. My career has been shaped by a passion for the arts, so it’s a pleasure to be working with The King’s Foundation to support this inspirational group of artists and creatives.'
Despite Prince Andrew having his titles stripped, there have been no changes for his daughters, including Princess Beatrice. The King is said to be fond of his nieces. Meanwhile, Beatrice has continued her charity work by fronting a campaign for the premature birth research charity Borne, following the premature birth of her daughter Athena Elizabeth Rose in January.
