Princess Eugenie has quietly stepped away from her role with The King’s Foundation after only one year.
The Mirror understands that rather than being ‘dropped’, Eugenie’s involvement with the organisation was only ever limited to the Foundation’s 35th anniversary year, meaning the network came to an end naturally. It is believed that Eugenie met the participants on multiple occasions and continued to offer support and advice. The Mirror has contacted the King’s Foundation for comment.
Eugenie’s only public outing for the foundation came in November last year, when she gave an introductory address at a network mentors brunch in Soho, and spoke about the value of mentorship and how her passion for art has shaped her own career as a director of art gallery, Hauser and Wirth.
"It was fantastic to spend more time with the 35 under 35, who are such an incredible group of talented young people," she remarked at the time. "My career has been shaped by a passion for the arts, so it’s a pleasure to be working with The King’s Foundation to support this inspirational group of artists and creatives."
In March, it was also revealed that Eugenie had stepped down from the Anti-Slavery International following her father’s arrest the previous month.
The princess’s profile was removed from the charity’s website, which previously mentioned her work "across the board with leaders in the fight against modern slavery".
Despite the setbacks, Eugenie is understood to remain on good terms with her uncle, King Charles, who expressed his delight at her official pregnancy announcement from Buckingham Palace earlier this month.
Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank announced that they are expecting their third child over the summer, in addition to their two sons August and Ernest.
