Princess Eugenie Makes Tough Decision Involving Charity Podcast, Prince Andrew
Princess Eugenie had to delay the scheduled production of her podcast after Prince Andrew's damaging issue emerged.
Since Prince Andrew's BBC interview, the Duke of York has reportedly tried hard not to ruin royal family members' reputations in any way. From stepping down from his royal life to giving up his titles, the royal prince lay low after Virginia Giuffre bombarded him with abuse accusations.
Despite his efforts in preventing his name from affecting any engagements of the royal family, his daughter Princess Eugenie had to postpone her project because of Prince Andrew's buzz.
In newly unearthed posts shared by Express UK, it has been revealed that Princess Eugenie started preparing before launching a series of podcasts. The project, which will feature guests who will tackle modern slavery including sex trafficking, is in collaboration with The Anti-Slavery Collective.
Princess Eugenie found the charity alongside her friend, Julie Boinville.
"We witnessed first-hand how many amazing charities there are in the UK and beyond, doing phenomenal work, so we wondered how we could highlight the work they are doing and raise awareness," De Boinville said.
Daily Mail reported in January that she would double down on the charity this summer. As the founder of the Anti-Slavery Collaborative, she might reportedly choose her reputation over Prince Andrew's.
As of press time, the father and daughter have not discussed the topic yet.
Aside from the new update, a shocking report revealed that the royal princess actually wanted to start the project three years ago.
Princess Eugenie Thinking About Prince Andrew's Issue?
In 2019, Princess Eugenie and Julia shared an update about the podcast, saying that their mission is to "bring people together because together, we're so much more powerful and we can affect serious change."
According to Harper's Bazaar, the duo originally co-founded The Anti-Slavery Collective in 2017.
Unfortunately, the announcement came out when Prince Andrew faced public and media scrutiny for his involvement in the crimes Jeffrey Epstein committed. At that time, Giuffre's allegations were made public after the court unsealed the documents.
While Princess Eugenie badly wanted to start her podcast already, a source revealed to The Sun that Prince Andrew's problem led her to delay the launch.
"It's all very difficult for Eugenie at the moment - she and Beatrice are very close to their father and are being very supportive," an insider told The Sun, as quoted by New Idea. "But obviously the timing of her anti-slavery and sex trafficking initiative is hugely difficult given the renewed headlines around Andrew.
