The 35 under 35 network is a group of exceptional young people brought together as part of our 35th anniversary year, working to promote the change King Charles wants to see in the world across sustainability, traditional crafts and the arts.

Eugenie will be joined as a mentor by designer Dr Samuel Ross MBE, artist and influencer Sophie Tea Art, and historian and content creator Alice Loxton.

She said over the honour, “I’m delighted to be working with this group of exceptional young people who have been selected thanks to their outstanding work in areas The King is passionate about.

“Given I recently celebrated my 35th birthday, it’s fitting to take part in the charity’s 35th anniversary celebrations and share my passion for art with the 35 under 35!”
