Princess Eugenie

Princess Eugenie of York (full name Eugenie Victoria Helena, born 1990) is a member of the British royal family, the younger daughter of Prince Andrew, Duke of York, and Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York. After studying at Newcastle University, she built a career in the art world, working as a director at the contemporary art gallery Hauser & Wirth, and is a co-founder of the Anti-Slavery Collective. From 2019 to 2026 she served as a patron of Anti-Slavery International. Princess Eugenie is not named in her own right among the people listed in the Epstein files; the records document her father, Prince Andrew, but contain no separate entry for Eugenie or her sister, Princess Beatrice.

Eugenie’s name surfaced in connection with the Epstein case primarily through emails sent by her mother. According to reporting by AOL and Yahoo, documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice on January 30, 2026 included an email dated July 27, 2009 in which Sarah Ferguson wrote to Epstein, “What address shall we come to. It will be myself, Beatrice and Eugenie,” arranging a lunch in Miami. Both outlets report this was about five days after Epstein had been released from prison, where he had served 13 months following a 2008 conviction, and that Eugenie and Beatrice were 19 and 20 years old at the time. Representatives’ accounts of the lunch differ: Yahoo reports sources close to the family saying the princesses “never met Epstein” and “had no recollection of the visit,” and AOL reports that the daughters were said to be “mortified” by their mother’s emails. Neither outlet states that Eugenie is accused of any wrongdoing.

Separately, Eugenie experienced professional fallout as scrutiny of her father intensified. Newsweek reported that in March 2026 she stepped down as patron of Anti-Slavery International after seven years, a development the publication tied to the wider Epstein scandal surrounding her father rather than to any conduct of her own.

Is Princess Eugenie in the Epstein files?

Based on the sources reviewed for this profile, Princess Eugenie is not the subject of any allegation in the Epstein files and does not appear in her own right among the people named in those files. The only documented reference to her in the released records is indirect: an email from her mother, Sarah Ferguson, to Jeffrey Epstein, released by the U.S. Department of Justice in January 2026, naming Eugenie and her sister as expected guests at a 2009 lunch in Miami when Eugenie was a teenager (per AOL and Yahoo). Family representatives have disputed accounts of that meeting. No reputable source reviewed here accuses Princess Eugenie of any wrongdoing. Being named in this context is not evidence of misconduct; the principal documented consequence for her has been the loss of an anti-slavery charity patronage amid the controversy surrounding her father (per Newsweek).

Documents

• DOJ Epstein Files (EFTA release portal) — Eugenie is referenced not in her own right but within a July 2009 email her mother, Sarah Ferguson, sent to Epstein arranging a Miami lunch (“It will be myself, Beatrice and Eugenie”), among the records the Department of Justice released on January 30, 2026. Family representatives have disputed accounts of the meeting, and no allegation attaches to Eugenie.
