Princess Eugenie has stepped down as patron of Anti-Slavery International, the world's oldest human rights organisation, following the release of US court documents linking her father, Prince Andrew, to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The princess's profile has been removed from the charity's website, which previously praised her work “across the board with leaders in the fight against modern slavery”. In a statement, Anti-Slavery International thanked Eugenie for her support over seven years and expressed hope she would continue efforts to end slavery.
Eugenie, who works as a director at art gallery Hauser & Wirth, co-founded the Anti-Slavery Collective in 2017. The charity's latest accounts show it spent more on salaries (£191,537) than on charitable programmes (£97,206) in the year to April 2025, prompting Charity Commission concerns.
There is no suggestion of wrongdoing by Eugenie, her sister Beatrice, or their mother Sarah Ferguson in connection with Epstein. Prince Andrew denies allegations of sexual abuse, including a claim by Virginia Giuffre, who died last year, that she was paid to have sex with him in 2001.
Neither Eugenie nor Beatrice has commented on their father's account of his links with Epstein, despite being potential witnesses. The Anti-Slavery Collective and Princess Eugenie have been approached for comment.
