Ex-Prince Andrew’s daughter Eugenie steps down from anti-slavery charity
Princess Eugenie resigned from her role with an anti-slavery charity, as the fallout from the Epstein emails continues.
The daughter of the former Prince Andrew, now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and Sarah Ferguson, served for seven years as a patron of Anti-Slavery International.
On Sunday, the princess, 35, stepped away from her role at the world’s oldest human rights organization, the Observer reported.
The charity said in a statement to the outlet, “After seven years, our patronage from HRH Princess Eugenie of York has come to an end.
“We thank the Princess very much for her support for Anti-Slavery International. We hope that she continues to work to end slavery for good and deliver freedom for everyone.”
A representative for Anti-Slavery International did not get back to Page Six when reached for comment.
The resignation comes weeks after Eugenie’s father was arrested on his 66th birthday last month over his ties to the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The disgraced royal was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office for allegedly passing on confidential trade documents to Epstein.
He also allegedly had sex with Virginia Giuffre, who was trafficked by Epstein and his partner, Ghislaine Maxwell. Though Andrew vehemently denied the claims, he made a multi-million dollar payment to Giuffre.
Released emails revealed Andrew stayed in contact with Epstein years after he said that he’d cut ties.
Ferguson also shared a close relationship with Epstein.
New emails reveal she wrote many times that they should get married and called him “the brother I have always wished for.”
Last year, both Andrew and Ferguson, also 66, were stripped of their royal titles and forced to vacate their longtime home, Royal Lodge.
Eugenie and her older sister, Princess Beatrice, 37, have reportedly been told by the royal family that they cannot attend the upcoming Royal Ascot in June or the Royal Procession.
The siblings were allegedly “blindsided” by the decision.
The fallout from their parents’ alleged behavior has reportedly “devastated’ the sisters.
