Princess Eugenie appears at ANTI-TRAFFICKING event in Davos… after dad Prince Andrew was axed as working royal over claims he’d slept with Epstein trafficking victim Virginia Giuffre
Princess Eugenie has appeared on a panel to discuss modern slavery after her father Prince Andrew was dropped from the royal circle over claims he slept with Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre.
The princess, who co-founded The Anti-Slavery Collective in 2017, spoke at the event in Davos, Switzerland, alongside former British Prime Minister Theresa May.
Their discussion should aim to highlight the importance of elevating modern slavery to the highest levels of corporate governance.
According to The guardEugenie said: ‘Guns and drugs can only be traded once, but people are trafficked again and again. For them it happens every day and every minute.’
Princess Beatrice also attended the event on Tuesday to support her sister.

Prince Andrew stepped out of public life after the furor over his friendship with Epstein and paid millions to settle a civil sexual assault case with Virginia Giuffre
According to Hello magazineOn Wednesday, Eugenie will be a discussion leader at a World Economic Forum event, also on human trafficking and modern slavery.
It comes after her father’s relationship with pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein was back in the spotlight amid claims he committed ‘acts of sexual abuse’ and took part in an ‘orgy for minors’.
The newly released documents relate to a Manhattan defamation case filed in 2015 by the duke’s accuser, Virginia Giuffre, née Roberts, against Ghislaine Maxwell, who acted as Epstein’s “madame.”
Andrew, who spent years trying to rebuild his shattered public image, is mentioned in the files, along with dozens of high-profile Epstein associates.
They include a statement from Jane Doe 3 – later identified as Giuffre – who claims she was forced to have sex with the Duke three times, including when she was 17.
She claims Epstein ordered her to “give the prince everything he demanded,” including “an orgy with numerous other underage girls” on the financier’s Caribbean island of Little Saint James.
The unsealed documents include the transcript of Virginia Giuffre being questioned about the whereabouts of the photo showing her with the Duke of York.
When asked where the photo was during her 2016 deposition, she said, “I probably still have it. It is not currently in my possession.”

Giuffre added that it may have been in storage boxes at her mother-in-law and father-in-law’s home in Sydney, Australia.
She also said documents related to the case may also have been in the storage boxes, which were “full of Nerf guns, my children’s toys and photos.”
During the deposition, Giuffre said she gave the photo to the FBI in 2011 but last saw it before packing her home to emigrate to Australia from Colorado.
Andrew was recently said to have been ‘hesitant, totally anguished’ by the prospect of the scandal being revived.
Andrew withdrew from public life after the furor over his friendship with Epstein and paid millions to settle a civil sexual assault case against Giuffre, a woman he claimed he never met.
The Duke was ousted from the working monarchy and no longer uses his HRH style after Giuffre, who was trafficked by Epstein, accused him of sexually assaulting her when she was 17. Andrew has always denied the claims.
Unlocking the documents made uncomfortable reading for a series of famous facespast Prince Andrew.
High-profile people such as Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Al Gore, Kevin Spacey and Stephen Hawking were all mentioned at various points in the case’s depositions.
Some of the people mentioned during the night were Epstein’s associates, friends or victims.
But the vast majority were cited as evidence by witnesses who said they had no ties to the pedophile at all – or had not seen them in his many homes.
