Princess Eugenie has landed an exciting new role after being announced as a mentor for The King's Foundation 35 under 35 programme.
The royal, 35, has become a Global Ambassador for the Thirty Six For Coral – an art exhibition and auction dedicated to coral reef conservation.
Eugenie, who is a passionate advocate for the environment and ocean conservation, has a full-time role as an Associate Director at gallery Hauser & Wirth.
But the Princess also dedicates time for charities and organisations around causes close to her heart.

"I'm pleased to be supporting Thirty Six for Coral, an important art exhibition that will help connect more people to the irreplaceable value of coral reefs, and raise essential funding to help protect and restore them for future generations."
The royal joins the likes of Sienna Miller and Cara Delevingne to lend her support to the exhibition, which launches on 12 June 2024 during the 2025 UN Ocean Conference in Nice.
Sharing her passion for art
It comes after Eugenie expressed her delight at becoming a mentor for The King’s Foundation’s new 35 under 35 network of changemakers.
Charles's niece Eugenie visited the Garrison Chapel, the London exhibition space of the monarch’s charity, earlier this month to meet some of the group.
