Royals who try to like ordinary people, but still want to enjoy the perks of it are just like the ordinary people who like being a royal but finds out there's more at stake at being one. While it is just better to be who you are and make the most of every freedom and privilege, a certain royal gets to enjoy her social media freedom, but of course with every approval of the Queen.
Everyone's thrilled, and so is Princess Eugenie of York that while she is already having her own Instagram account, the 29-year-old royal is also the first to co-host a podcast. The royal who is the youngest granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II and youngest daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson will be highlighting on her podcast her charity, The Anti-Slavery Collective.
Together with her best friend, Julia De Boinville, in 2017, The Anti-Slavery Collective has a mission to bring change-makers together to raise awareness for modern slavery and show it as a global epidemic. Modern slavery composes of children, people in forced labor, those who are forced to marry and those who are forced to sexual exploitation.
As of this time, there are an estimated 40.3 million people in modern slavery around the world, and more people have undergone slavery especially to the migrants who cross borders to find a better life. What's in store for them across the border would be instances of human trafficking and exploitation by an employer, which they are forced to in replace of money or a job.
Since then, the British Royal Family sees to it that they champion a specific area of charity work closest to their heart, and because of this royal-like Diana, Princess of Wales has become an inspiration and an icon of helping other people. Princess Eugenie's podcast will show the problems of slavery in the modern-day world, with her commitment to "to do it for them."
The video which was posted on Instagram last Wednesday has shown Princess Eugenie and De Boinville talking about their collaboration with Freedom United. The podcast will have a series of speakers which are called "Tech Tackles Trafficking" and they will help those who cannot speak for themselves so that they can be heard and be recognized.
Princess Eugenie of York and Julia De Boinville has been best of friends since they were young and going to the same university. Their eyes were open to slavery on one of their trips abroad in Kolkata, India in 2012 and from there, they were shocked as to what extent slavery has already been.
Although Prince Harry first made a special appearance to journalist Bryony Gordon's podcast in 2017 to talk about mental health, Princess Eugenie will be the first royal to make her own podcast. And unlike Prince Harry and Prince William, Princess Eugenie of York is not officially working as a royal though she still attends frequent royal engagements and charity works while working as a director in an art gallery.
