Princess Eugenie released a new video just days after her noticeable absence from a Royal Family event.

The Princess of York, 33, and her good friend Julie de Boinville co-founded the Anti-Slavery Collective in 2017 to fight against modern-day slavery.


The duo took to Instagram to share a new video where they discussed visiting a Salvation Army safe house.

Eugenie spoke about meeting survivors of human trafficking, including people who didn't know they were being trafficked.

Eugenie and de Boinville both dressed in black for the video whilst sat on a sofa, staring directly into the camera.

The release of this video came two days after Princess Eugenie was noticeably absent from King Constantine's memorial service.

Her older sister Princess Beatrice, 35, walked into St George's Chapel with her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, without her younger sibling.

Eugenie's parents, who divorced in 1996, also attended the memorial service.

It is unknown why Eugenie skipped the event with the Greek royals, however, she is known to spend a lot of time in Portugal where she lives with her husband, Jack Brooksbank.

The royal couple are raising their two sons, August, three, and eight-month-old Ernest.

Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew, both 64, surprised royal fans when they walked side-by-side on Tuesday into St George's Chapel.

The ex-couple have been attending many more royal events under the reign of King Charles.

For example, the Duke and Duchess of York attended the Christmas Day Sandringham celebrations in December 2023.

This was the first time Fergie had attended the festive occasion since 1991, over 30 years ago.

Sarah additionally attended King Charles's Coronation Concert, despite not being invited to the official ceremony.

Under the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, Fergie did not make any official appearances with the Royal Family after her divorce.

She was invited to the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in 2018, albeit in a private capacity.
