HRH Princess Eugenie of York, Patron of The King’s Foundation’s 35 under 35 network This new, three-part initiative is aimed at equipping a new generation of policy changemakers. This initiative aligns with the King’s vision and highlights the exceptional contributions of young individuals dedicated to making a difference in their communities.
Meanwhile, Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, have been occupied with their own professional obligations. This Friday, they’ll have double cause for celebration—a special family milestone with their youngest son, Ernest, turning two years old! Ernest was born at Portland Hospital, London, on May 30, 2023. He is now 14th in line to the throne, just behind his older brother August, who made his appearance in February 2021.
A New Chapter in Mentorship
Involvement Her Royal Highness, Princess Eugenie’s, participation in the 35 under 35 network reaffirms her mission to invest in young leaders. She remarked on her new role, stating, “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.” This initiative doesn’t just provide these individuals with the limelight they deserve—it’s a catalyst for collaboration and innovation between these individuals.
Princess Eugenie said it was an amazing coincidence that she took part in the charity’s 35th anniversary celebrations. She emphasized her desire to share her passion for art and mentorship with the emerging leaders in this network, reinforcing her dedication to community engagement and support.
Advocacy for Ocean Conservation
In addition to her mentoring role, Princess Eugenie has taken on the position of Global Ambassador for the Thirty Six For Coral exhibition. This community focused art exhibition and auction is designed to raise awareness and funds for coral reef conservation. This amazing cause is a natural extension of her advocacy work.
The show, scheduled to open June 12, 2024, in conjunction with the UN Ocean Conference in Nice, is meant to be a part of that solution. As an advocate for ocean conservation, Princess Eugenie highlighted the importance of coral reefs by stating, “Despite occupying less than 1 per cent of the seabed, coral reefs support 25 per cent of all life in the ocean, and one billion people around the world depend on coral reefs for food and jobs.” Her participation in this collaborative effort highlights her leadership on the defense of our ocean ecosystems.
Princess Eugenie joins heavyweights such as Sienna Miller and Cara Delevingne. As a team, they fiercely advocate for this essential mission. Her determination foreshadows an expanding understanding of environmental stewardship and the impact that private citizens can have to protect our natural resources.
Family Celebrations and Public Engagements
Outside her royal duties, Princess Eugenie is a passionate mom to her sons, Ernest and August. She documents their life together on social media, celebrating their adventures and progress with posts on birthdays and milestones like their wedding anniversary.
Just this past week, for instance, she participated in public performances with King Charles III and Queen Camila. They visited the Chelsea Flower Show and held a joint garden party at Buckingham Palace. This is the Garrison Chapel in London, which Lady Rotherwick visited earlier this month. There, she engaged with the members of The King’s Foundation, demonstrating her wonderful spirit of commitment to community service and advocacy.
