Princess Eugenie has stepped down as patron of Anti-Slavery International, the world’s oldest human rights organisation, following the release of Jeffrey Epstein files that have disgraced her father, Prince Andrew.
The charity confirmed the end of her patronage after seven years, thanking her for her support. Her profile has been removed from its website, which previously highlighted her work against modern slavery.
There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing by Eugenie, her sister Princess Beatrice, or their mother Sarah Ferguson in connection with Epstein. Prince Andrew denies allegations of sexual abuse linked to the late convicted sex offender.
Eugenie co-founded the Anti-Slavery Collective in 2017. In the year ending April 2025, that charity spent £191,537 on salaries against £97,206 on charitable programmes, prompting the Charity Commission to address expenditure concerns.
Virginia Giuffre, who died in April last year, alleged she was paid to have sex with Prince Andrew in 2001. A second woman has also come forward with similar claims. Sarah Ferguson was friendly with Epstein, and emails suggest she and her daughters visited him after his jail release.
