Princess Eugenie just received a huge vote of confidence from her uncle, King Charles, and she couldn’t be happier. The royal, who recently turned 35, has been selected to play a major part in one of the King’s most personal projects, and she’s thrilled to be involved.
The news came with a formal announcement from The King’s Foundation, which has named Princess Eugenie as a mentor for its brand-new “35 under 35” network. This initiative highlights a group of standout young people making waves in the fields that really matter to the monarch—think sustainability, the arts, and traditional crafts. It’s all part of the Foundation’s 35th anniversary, so the timing couldn’t be more perfect.

As reported by People, the campaign is aimed at championing changemakers under the age of 35, and Eugenie, who just hit that milestone herself, is right there alongside them, guiding, encouraging, and sharing her passion for conservation and art.
In her statement, Eugenie said, “I’m delighted to be working with this group of exceptional young people who have been selected thanks to their outstanding work in areas The King is passionate about.” She added, “Given I recently celebrated my 35th birthday, it’s fitting to take part in the charity’s 35th anniversary celebrations and share my passion for art with the 35 under 35!”
If you’ve followed Eugenie over the years, you know this role is a natural fit. She’s long shown an interest in environmental causes and heritage craftsmanship, two areas King Charles has championed for decades. This mentorship gig gives her a chance to step into a more prominent public role while also contributing to something meaningful and future-focused.

And this isn’t the only moment recently where she’s stepped up on the royal front. Eugenie was spotted at Buckingham Palace not long ago, joining Prince William and Princess Catherine for a high-profile garden party. The event was especially poignant given King Charles’s ongoing cancer treatment. With the monarch still managing his health, members of the royal family have been rallying around to support him both publicly and privately.
Eugenie’s appearance was not just about showing support for her uncle—it was also a chance for the public to see the next generation of royals taking on more responsibility. As the King continues to transition into a new phase of his reign, he seems increasingly focused on drawing in younger voices and modern energy to keep the royal family’s charitable efforts vibrant and relevant.
Her involvement in the 35 under 35 network also highlights how the royals are embracing a more hands-on, mentorship-driven approach in their work, blending tradition with contemporary causes. For Eugenie, who balances royal duties with her own professional life and young family, this opportunity lets her bring both her experience and passion to the table in a way that feels very current.
The King’s Foundation, originally started under King Charles’s Prince of Wales’s title, has been a cornerstone of his charitable life, especially in areas like climate awareness, sustainable living, and preserving British heritage skills. Bringing Eugenie into a leadership role is not just a family gesture—it’s a move that reinforces the Foundation’s next-gen mission.
