Princess Eugenie shared a new video just hours before the new Prince Andrew film was released on Netflix.

The Princess of York and her good friend, Julia de Boinville, posted a clip on their joint charity, The Anti-Slavery Collective's Instagram story.


Eugenie and de Boinville co-founded the charity in 2017, which tackles issues of modern-day slavery.

The princess can be heard in the clip speaking about the "displacement of people".

She explained: "So we know that when a natural disaster occurs or when climate change occurs, the most vulnerable are the ones being exploited.

"So when you've got a displacement of people due to war, climate change, anything like that, you're going to see a lot of traffickers or people trying to exploit the vulnerable."

This Instagram story landed just hours before Scoop, a film about the Duke of York's career-ending Newsnight interview, dropped on Netflix.

During the famous interview, Andrew was quizzed by Emily Maitlis over his connections with the late convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.

Princess Eugenie was not featured or mentioned during the film, in comparison to her older sister Princess Beatrice, 35.

Beatrice was present at one of the negotiations between her father, Maitlis, and the former Newsnight producer, Sam McAlister at Buckingham Palace.

Eugenie, on the other hand, has likely avoided more of the turmoil surrounding the controversial Netflix film.

The 34-year-old has previously endured criticism for running an anti-slavery charity when her father was linked to Epstein.

Royal commentator Gareth Russell previously told GB News: "You can't blame Princess Eugenie for her father.

"Of course, there is an understanding that her father had an extremely close relationship with someone who has been indicted and labelled a human trafficker in the form of Jeffrey Epstein.

"And of course, Princess Eugenie, along with her sister, both seem to be intensely loyal to their father.

"That being said, whilst I don't think it has tarnished her reputation in a lot of people's eyes, it has caused some raised eyebrows about the timing of some of her announcements and her broadcasts.

"They have come close, as one of them did, the day after further revelations about Andrew's links to Epstein.

"So there have been accusations of her being tone-deaf, but I don't think in the long term it will necessarily tarnish her reputation."
