Fans of Princess Eugenie are delighted in her “stepping up” to support King Charles after it was announced that she has become a mentor for The King’s Foundation. The late Queen’s granddaughter is working with The King’s Foundation’s new 35 under 35 network of changemakers.
The King’s Foundation released a short video of the princess saying it was “such an honour” to celebrate 35 years of the charity to “honour His Majesty’s celebration of traditional arts, nature and sustainability”. Social media users on Instagram were happy with Eugenie’s decision to take on the role. One user on X wrote: “Great to see Princess Eugenie with the King’s Foundation.”
Another said: “Princess Eugenie is excellent in everything she does. She exudes warmth and grace always. The royal family is blessed to have her among them. Thank you Princess Eugenie.”
“I’m glad eugenie stepped up to represent!! It’s wonderful to have royal family members giving back to the community!” added another.
One wrote: “A Huge congratulations, Princess Eugenie. What an inspiring you’re absolutely perfect for this role. Your warmth, grace and genuine heart will be such a gift to the 35 under 35 network. Wishing you all the very best as you mentor the next generation of change makers.”
Another said: “Wonderful, the right person in the right place. Princess Eugenie will represent and support the King’s Foundation with dignity, she will be a great support to the King, Queen, William and Catherine as well as Sophie and Edward.”
Eugenie visited the Garrison Chapel, the London exhibition space of King Charles’s charity, last week to meet some members of the group. The 35 under 35 have been brought together in the foundation’s 35th anniversary year to promote the change the King wants to see globally across sustainability, traditional crafts and the arts.
King Charles’s niece’s new role for her uncle’s charity emerged last week, and the princess, who is a director at Hauser & Wirth Contemporary Gallery, said she was looking forward to sharing her passion for art.
Speaking in full after the announcement, the princess said: “I’m delighted to be working with this group of exceptional young people who have been selected thanks to their outstanding work in areas the King is passionate about.
“Given I recently celebrated my 35th birthday, it’s fitting to take part in the charity’s 35th anniversary celebrations and share my passion for art with the 35 under 35.”
The list of 35 under 35 includes woodworker Eli Baxter, embroiderer Angelica Ellis, basketmaker Florence Hamer, stonemason Freya de Lisle, milliner Barnaby Horn, painter Jo Rance, and environmental filmmaker Jack Harries.
