Princess Eugenie has resigned her role with an anti-slavery charity as fallout from her father Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s links to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein continues.

The Princess served as a patron of Anti-Slavery International for seven years, according to the Guardian.

The organisation, founded by abolitionist Thomas Clarkson in 1839, is the oldest human rights organisation in the world.

The Guardian reported that the Princess’ profile on the charity’s website, which praised her work “across the board with leaders in the fight against modern slavery”, had recently been removed.

“After seven years, our patronage from HRH Princess Eugenie of York has come to an end,” the organisation said in a statement to the Observer.

“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.”

The 35-year-old’s decision to step down comes amid renewed scrutiny over her father’s ties to Epstein.

More than three million pages of documents and emails were released by the United States Department of Justice on January 30, prompting many online users to search for references to the former prince and others linked to Epstein.

Mountbatten-Windsor was sensationally arrested on February 19 on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

Police claimed he shared sensitive government and commercial information with Epstein, while in his role as a United Kingdom trade envoy from 2001-2011. Police later released him under investigation.

He has strenuously denied any wrongdoing.

Last week, People reported issues had been flagged with the UK Charity Commission over Princess Eugenie’s own charity, the Anti-Slavery Collective, which she co-founded with friend Julia de Boinville in 2017.

The charity allegedly spent £191,537 ($435,000) on salaries in the year ending April 5, 2025, nearly double the £97,206 ($220,700) spent on charitable activities.

“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,” a spokesperson said.

There is no suggestion princesses Eugenie and Beatrice, nor their mother Sarah Ferguson were involved in Epstein’s sexual abuse or trafficking operation.

Emails released by the DoJ however, revealed Ferguson took the princesses to visit Epstein in 2009, five days after he was released from a Florida prison following a conviction of soliciting a minor for prostitution.

“ferg and the two girls come [sic] yesterday,” Epstein wrote in a message to his ex-girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, who is now serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking.
