Princess Eugenie’s 'inspiring morning' serves as royal boost for King’s Foundation

Princess Eugenie returned to public life this week with a powerful morning in Soho not for flashy royal fanfare, but a thoughtful “mentoring brunch” with The King’s Foundation’s 35 Under 35 network. 

Her message on Instagram on 14 November, calling it “an inspiring morning” and a “pleasure” to work with such a talented group of artists and creatives.

The video opens on Eugenie arriving at Broadwick Soho, polished and professional in a crisp white shirt and tailored black blazer, she steps into a room buzzing with energy and creativity.

Inside, she joins a lively roundtable of young makers, designers, artisans, and sustainability champions, the very creatives being nurtured by the Foundation as part of its 35th anniversary initiative. 

Eugenie listens intently as mentees share their passions, one speaks about ceramics, another about eco-craft, while others nod over sketches and prototypes. 

The camera cuts to her giving an opening address as she speaks from the heart about how her own art background shaped her career, emphasizing the value of mentorship and collaboration.

Later shots show small breakout moments of her leaning in, laughing, offering one-on-one encouragement. 

The network, assembled as part of The King’s Foundation’s 35th anniversary celebrations, highlights young voices whose work places sustainability and nature at its heart values close to both the Foundation and the Princess.

With Eugenie officially on board as a mentor, the future looks bright for this rising generation of eco-minded trailblazers. And she’s already looking ahead, saying she can’t wait to see what they do next.
