Princess Eugenie<\/a>‘s charity, The Anti-Slavery Collective, is set to face further scrutiny amid major concerns about spending. The 36-year-old co-founded the charity alongside Julia de Boinville back in 2017.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Charity Commission has opened a “regulatory compliance” case regarding “concerns” about the charity’s spending. Speaking to the BBC<\/a> News earlier today, a Charity Commission spokesperson said: “We have opened a regulatory compliance case into Anti-Slavery Collective to continue assessing concerns raised with us about charitable spending.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It has been understood that this does not represent a statutory inquiry, and that the body has not yet made any findings or drawn any conclusions. Speaking back in 2021, Eugenie revealed the inspiration behind the charity – sharing that she had been inspired by the work of Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn – the authors who wrote Half the Sky in 2009.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This comes after BBC News reported last year that the charity’s accounts for the previous financial year showed The Anti-Slavery Collective had raised \u00a31.5m in donations but had distributed very little, with just \u00a31.3m carried forward.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Much of the income collected is shown to have come from a gala held in London back in 2023. However, a source has said that it is “difficult optically to do anything high profile like that again”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The charity’s most recently available accounts, which show until April 5, 2025, highlight that donations had slumped to \u00a348,000.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The accounts also show that \u00a3191,537 was spent on salaries, which is double what The Anti-Slavery Collective spent on charity programmes<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Speaking back in March, a Charity Commission spokesperson told BBC News: “We are assessing concerns raised in the media about charitable spending at The Anti-Slavery Collective to determine what role there is, if any, for the Commission.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Following the controversy surrounding her father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Eugenie stepped down as patron from a separate organisation, Anti-Slavery International, earlier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Author Andrew Lownie has described Eugenie’s continued association with The Anti-Slavery Collective as a “preposterously inappropriate cause” due to the Epstein scandal. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
