She said: "I am so glad to be here tonight supporting my son Ty. I am beyond proud of him and he has put together an unbelievable event all in aid of supporting coral reef preservation. Walking around the Thirty Six For Coral exhibition and looking at all of the works on display from massive talents like OSGEMEOS, RETNA and Dustin Yellin, really brings home just how powerful art can be! I love it all and the colour of the pieces really speaks to how vibrant coral reefs are." Other guests at the event included Made in Chelsea star Oliver Proudlock, Too Hot To Handle's Kori Sampson, Viking's Katheryn Winnick, and Rolling Stones musician Bernard Fowler, financier Michel De Carvalho, and international artists such as RETNA A live auction of 10 of the 36 pieces in the exhibition took place, led by renowned auctioneer Michael Macaulay, and global bidding for the remaining 26 is open online at until 22 June, with proceeds directly supporting critical coral reef protection and restoration projects around the world. The closing gala came a week after Princess Eugenie, Project Zero's Global Ambassador, launched the exhibition at an exclusive preview event attended by Monaco's Prince Albert. Eugenie said of the initiative: 'Despite occupying less than 1% of the seabed, coral reefs support 25% of all life in the ocean, and one billion people around the world depend on coral reefs for food and jobs. 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.' Tyrone added: 'Thirty Six For Coral brings together some of the most visionary artists to spotlight one of the planet's most urgent environmental issues. Coral reefs are nearing functional extinction in our lifetime, but we still have time to act - and we hope this initiative inspires people to do just that.'

Her duties as HRH have heavily increased amid reports that her cousin Prince William is going to take more cautionary measures against her father Prince Andrew. 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.' She was also announced as Global Ambassador for Thirty Six For Coral, the world's first international art exhibition and auction dedicated to coral reef conservation.

Prince William Plans to Banish 'Disgraced Uncle' from Royal Family Once He's King-He's 'Toxic' to His 'Brand' 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.

Princess Eugenie supports coral reef conservation initiative
Princess Eugenie has helped launch a new initiative to raise money for coral reef conservation. The 35-year-old royal is backing Thirty Six For Coral, the world's first major global art exhibition dedicated to the cause, which will bring together 36 artists - including RETNA, Helen Beard and Petroc Sesti - for an initiative which will see their works eventually auctioned off to raise funds. Eugenie - who is a global ambassador for ocean charity Project Zero/The Coral Collective - said: 'Despite occupying less than 1% of the seabed, coral reefs support 25% of all life in the ocean, and one billion people around the world depend on coral reefs for food and jobs. "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 exhibition is also backed by the likes of Sienna Miller, Will Poulter, Rita Ora, and Slash and will debut at the iconic Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat on the French Riviera in June to coincide with the 2025 UN Ocean Conference, which runs in Nice from 9 to 13 June. Michele Clarke, CEO, Co-Founder, Project Zero/The Coral Collective, said: 'We are thrilled to be launching this exceptional exhibition of works from some of the world's most celebrated artists for coral. Today coral reefs are under threat of functional extinction. "We have the unique opportunity to be the generation that saves this irreplaceable ecosystem that supports life for over a million animals and plants and over a billion people around the world.' More artists who will be involved in the exhibition will be announced in due course. British-Italian artist Petroc Sesti has contributed a carbon sink sculpture medium that fuses eco-friendly concrete with carbon capture crystals. Petroc said: 'Artists are free thinkers and placemakers; they create artworks that inspire paradigm shifts toward new cultural narratives, offering alternative frameworks through which to interpret our environments. Through interdisciplinary collaboration and critical engagement with the natural world, artists are uniquely positioned to catalyse public discourse. "Cultural dialogue with the biosphere is not only urgent it is also generative, and will define the future of art itself. I believe we are entering a new cultural golden age—a renaissance shaped not by introspection alone, but by the discoveries that lie beyond ourselves.' Artworks will be available via with select pieces auctioned at a closing gala on 20 June. Proceeds will directly support coral reef protection and restoration around the world.
