Princess Eugenie has stepped down as patron of Anti-Slavery International after seven years as scrutiny surrounding her father, Prince Andrew, intensifies.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Princess Eugenie has stepped down from her role as patron of the UK-based charity Anti-Slavery International, ending a seven-year association with the organisation as renewed scrutiny surrounds the ongoing scandal involving her father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew.<\/p>\n

The move comes amid continued fallout linked to Andrew\u2019s ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, which have once again drawn global attention and intensified pressure on the royal family.<\/p>\n

Patronage ends after seven years<\/h2>\n

Anti-Slavery International confirmed that Eugenie\u2019s patronage had officially come to an end after several years of advocacy work with the organisation. The charity thanked the royal for her support and contributions to campaigns aimed at tackling modern slavery and human trafficking worldwide.<\/p>\n

Her profile has since been removed from the organisation\u2019s website, signalling the conclusion of the partnership.<\/p>\n

Eugenie had become patron in 2019 and had previously worked with activists and campaigners to highlight issues surrounding forced labour and exploitation.<\/p>\n

Scrutiny linked to Prince Andrew scandal<\/h2>\n

The development comes as the royal family continues to face intense scrutiny over
\nAndrew\u2019s relationship with Epstein<\/a> and the wider controversy surrounding the late financier\u2019s global trafficking network.<\/p>\n

Although Eugenie herself has not been accused of wrongdoing, the scandal has cast a long shadow over members of Andrew\u2019s immediate family, Andrew, who lost his royal titles in 2025 and now goes by
\nAndrew Mountbatten-Windsor, was arrested in February 2026<\/a> on suspicion of misconduct in public office connected to his links with Epstein.<\/p>\n

Eugenie\u2019s own anti-slavery campaign<\/h2>\n

Beyond her role with Anti-Slavery International, Eugenie has been actively involved in campaigning against modern slavery for years.<\/p>\n

In 2017, she co-founded the Anti-Slavery Collective with activist Julia de Boinville, an initiative aimed at raising awareness of exploitation in global supply chains and encouraging companies to tackle forced labour.<\/p>\n

However, the organisation has also faced questions about its financial transparency and spending, with the UK Charity Commission reportedly reviewing aspects of its operations.<\/p>\n

Royal family facing continued pressure<\/h2>\n

The
\ncontroversy surrounding Andrew has already had broader consequences for the royal family<\/a>, including reputational damage and renewed public debate over the monarchy\u2019s handling of the scandal.<\/p>\n

While
\nEugenie and her sister Princess Beatrice<\/a> are not working royals, the ongoing fallout has reportedly affected their public roles and charitable engagements.<\/p>\n

Eugenie has not publicly commented on her decision to step down from the charity, and it remains unclear whether she will take on new philanthropic roles in the future.<\/p>\n
