Princess Eugenie was named a mentor for the King's Foundations' '35 under 35 network,' which is one of King Charles' charity. She announced her involvement in an Instagram video: 'Hi, everyone. It is such an honour to be here today at the Garrison Chapel celebrating the King's Foundation and its 35 years.'

The news comes after reports of Prince Wiliam wanting to keep Prince Andrew out of the Royal family's business. 'Prince William has long had a strained and distant relationship with Andrew,' British royal expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News in May 2025, adding that William has 'a grudge against his disgraced uncle.'Andrew's reputation suffered after his involvement with convicted sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein. he resigned from his public roles with the royal family in May 2020, and had his honorary military affiliations and royal charitable patronages removed by his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in January 2022. He was also a defendant in a civil sexual assault lawsuit filed by Giuffre in New York State.
In late 2024, Hello! magazine reported that Eugenie and Beatrice were taking turns to visit their father. 'The girls take the grandchildren to visit him most weekends,' a source told the outlet. 'They are spending far more time with him now than they have done in recent years.' The anonymous source continued, 'They are quite close to their father; they seem to be quite protective towards him.'
When William becomes King, he's reported to have a stricter attitude towards his disgraced uncle. Fordwich said, the Prince of Wales wants his uncle 'completely excluded' from the royal family. '[William is] very in touch with the public. Every public opinion poll has Andrew at the bottom, reinforcing Prince William's stance. Once king, no doubt, Prince William will ensure Andrew is completely excluded from royal life, as well as all public appearances.'
'King Charles is said to be fed up with 'the Andrew problem,' although he has a softer approach to his brother as he is family,' Chard said. 'Prince William, however, has never been a fan of his uncle. He has no time for him. Allegedly, he was also disappointed that Andrew did not welcome his wife into the family with open arms all those years ago.'
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams also explained to Fox News that, while Charles 'may privately feel sympathy' toward Andrew, William 'has to be kept at arm's length' from his Uncle to preserve his reputation as King. 'His best future is well behind him,' said Fitzwilliams.
