Royal tasked with mentoring young creatives as part of The King’s Foundation initiative
King Charles has entrusted Princess Eugenie with a meaningful new role as she steps forward to support the next generation of innovators and leaders through The King’s Foundation.
Just days after her sister Princess Beatrice made a rare public appearance alongside the King and Queen Camilla at a conservation event, Eugenie has been appointed to mentor 35 young creatives handpicked by the monarch to serve as ambassadors for the Foundation.
According to The Telegraph, the group—which includes milliner Barnaby Horn, painter Jo Rance, knitwear designer Marie Bruhat, along with a composer, architect, climate activists, and a sustainable florist—gathered last week at the Garrison Chapel, the Foundation’s London base, to begin their journey.
Eugenie, who serves as a director at the Hauser & Wirth art gallery in Mayfair, will bring her professional insight and experience to help guide the ambassadors as they pursue meaningful projects that aim to spark positive change across the UK and beyond.
Dame Ann Limb, chair of the Foundation's board, praised the group’s energy and potential: “What struck me was the diversity of skills and talents, and the scale of their ambition, which was quite breathtaking in its boldness.”
This new appointment signals the King’s growing confidence in involving younger royals in shaping the future of the monarchy’s philanthropic mission—one focused on creativity, sustainability, and community impact.
