Princess Eugenie’s short-term role with the King’s Foundation has ended after the completion of the charity’s anniversary-year initiative. The younger daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson was appointed in May 2025 as a mentor for the 35 under 35 network, a program designed to support young leaders in fashion, architecture and environmental activism. According to Hello!, the network was only intended to run during the foundation’s milestone year, so the arrangement ended as planned rather than through any abrupt internal shift.

Princess Eugenie Joined the 35 under 35 Initiative in 2025
The princess took on the mentoring position as part of a wider effort to support emerging talent connected to causes close to King Charles. Her involvement included public appearances and direct engagement with participants. In November, she attended a mentoring session in London and spoke about the role art has played in her own professional path. "It was fantastic to spend more time with the 35 under 35, who are such an incredible group of talented young people," said Princess Eugenie according to Hello!. Her comments underlined the practical and personal side of her contribution.
Eugenie Called the Foundation’s Work Inspirational
During her time with the initiative, Eugenie spoke warmly about the foundation and the people involved. She also stressed how closely the project matched her own long-standing interest in the arts. "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," said Princess Eugenie according to Hello!. The role sat alongside her full-time work at Hauser & Wirth, where she has built a career outside formal royal duties.
Princess Eugenie Keeps Strong Ties With King Charles
Even with the mentoring post now finished, Eugenie is still understood to be on good terms with her uncle. That detail matters as royal watchers track how non-working members of the family continue to support selected causes without taking on official palace roles. She is also in a busy personal chapter. Buckingham Palace recently confirmed that she is expecting her third child, and King Charles said he was "delighted" by the family news. The update adds a warm note to a year that has also brought changes to several of her charitable connections.
Family Life in London and Portugal Takes Center Stage
Away from charity work, Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank are focused on family life before their new baby arrives this summer. The couple share sons August, five, and Ernest, who turns three this weekend. They divide their time between London and Portugal, while keeping a base at Ivy Cottage in Kensington Palace. In recent weeks, they have been spotted in London, including a night out at Oswald’s in Mayfair. With another child on the way, this period marks a natural transition in both her public and private life.
