Princess Eugenie has quietly stepped away from her role with The King’s Foundation after only one year.

The youngest daughter of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson was appointed as a mentor to the ‘35 under 35’ initiative in May 2025, which aimed to support young leaders across the fashion, architecture, and environmental activism industries.

King Charles’ niece, who is pregnant with her third child, previously praised the Foundation’s “outstanding work in areas the King is passionate about”. But now, just one year on, Eugenie has taken a step back from the influential role. During her work with the foundation, it is believed the princess attended only one formal engagement.

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.

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.
