Princess Eugenie, the younger daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, has made a significant announcement today. This comes just days after her mother’s shocking email to Jeffrey Epstein sent tremors around the globe.
Eugenie, who co-founded The Anti-Slavery Collective with her childhood friend Julia de Boinville in 2017, has launched a new campaign against counterfeit fashion. This comes after reports of Eugenie being the new peacemaker between her royal cousins Prince William and Prince Harry.
The initiative, named Hidden Threads: Fake Fashion – A Human Rights Scandal, aims to shed light on the exploitation hidden within the supply chains of counterfeit fashion, from unregulated factories to market stalls, reports Daily Express UK.
A statement from the campaign reads: “Behind fake handbags, trainers or football shirts, evidence shows some of the worst abuses, including forced labour, child labour and human trafficking.”
Eugenie was present at the launch in New York, which coincided with the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) and New York Climate Week, running until September 28.
The event saw the Anti-Slavery Collective, TRACIT and Entrupy (a leader in AI-powered verification) host guests at Goals House.
Here, attendees could experience firsthand the realities of counterfeit fashion supply chains.
Guests also learned how emerging technologies and bold public-private partnerships can disrupt illicit trade and expose one of fashion’s most overlooked human rights scandals.
Eugenie’s newest initiative urges governments to tackle illegal trade by sharing intelligence, implementing bans on products manufactured through forced labor, and addressing counterfeiting with greater seriousness.
The campaign also pushes shoppers to reconsider whether purchasing knockoffs is truly worth the human toll.
The announcement arrives just days after Eugenie’s mother, the Duchess of York, sparked global headlines following revelations of an email to convicted pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein where she called him a “supreme friend.”
Following the controversy, multiple charitable organizations cut connections with the Duchess after it was revealed she had apologized to the sexual predator in April 2011 following her public denouncement of him in the press.
