Royal reflects on family influence and values during heartfelt charity visit
Princess Eugenie has paid tribute to her late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, and her mother, Sarah Ferguson, for shaping her strong sense of duty and commitment to charitable causes.
In a recent interview with The Telegraph during her visit to Horatio’s Garden South West—a healing space for people with spinal injuries—Eugenie opened up about the family values that continue to guide her.
She spoke warmly about the support she receives from her husband, her team, and her family, saying, “I think I’ve got a good balance. I’ve got an amazing husband and team and projects I’m passionate about. I’d feel uneasy if I wasn’t doing my charity work, looking after my family and doing my job. I love what I do.”
Reflecting on the values passed down from previous generations, Eugenie credited her mother for teaching her the importance of giving back. “My mother always taught me that giving back to others is the most important thing in life,” she said. “Bea and I feel very strongly about this.”
She also spoke of the late Queen’s influence, recalling how the sense of duty was instilled early in life by watching her grandmother and other royal family members working tirelessly.
Eugenie and her sister have also recently praised their mother’s “resilience” and “determination” as the Duchess of York continues her battle with two forms of cancer, highlighting the strength and unity of their close-knit family.
