Princess Eugenie has embraced a meaningful new role as part of King Charles’ legacy efforts, joining the King’s Foundation to mentor young creatives through its “35 under 35” initiative.

This program, launched to celebrate the foundation’s 35th anniversary, brings together a diverse group of emerging talents in fields like fashion, art, architecture, sustainability, and social impact — all deeply aligned with the King’s lifelong passions.

Eugenie, 35, met with participants at the foundation’s Garrison Chapel headquarters in Chelsea, including knitwear designer Marie Bruhat and painter Jo Rance. As a director at Hauser & Wirth, Eugenie brings her own experience in the art world to help guide and support the selected changemakers.

Her involvement is described as “hands-on,” focusing on personal mentorship and encouraging long-term connections among participants.

The King’s Foundation, originally founded as the Prince of Wales’s Institute of Architecture, has evolved into a leading platform promoting heritage skills, environmental responsibility, and traditional craftsmanship.

With Eugenie’s input, the mentoring program aims to preserve these values while empowering the next generation to build meaningful and sustainable careers.

Though not a full-time working royal, Eugenie has long supported causes related to health, education, and the arts. Her participation in this initiative signals the increasing influence of younger royals in shaping a modern monarchy that reflects both tradition and progressive values.

Participants praised Eugenie’s authenticity and insight, saying her presence gives the project momentum and purpose. As one changemaker put it, “This feels like something that truly matters — and we’re just getting started.”
