Her profile has now been removed from the charity’s official website, confirming the end of the partnership.

Anti-Slavery International confirms departure

In a statement provided to The Observer, the organisation confirmed that Eugenie’s patronage had officially concluded.

Its “patronage from HRH Princess Eugenie of York has come to an end” after seven years, the charity said.

“We thank the Princess very much for her support for Anti-Slavery International,” the statement continued.

“We hope that she continues to work to end slavery for good and deliver freedom for everyone.”

Before her departure, the charity had praised Eugenie’s contributions, highlighting her work “across the board with leaders in the fight against modern slavery.”

The organisation’s other patrons include Dame Judi Dench, broadcaster Julie Etchingham, Baroness Helena Kennedy, Vanita Patel, actor Hugh Quarshie and Baroness Lola Young.
