Princess Eugenieis stepping out for a cause close to her heart.
Princess Eugenie was given a tour of Westminster Abbey, which was the location of Kate Middleton andPrince William‘s 2011 wedding. During the walkabout, they viewed a statue of William Wilberforce, a British politician who famously fought for the abolition of the slave trade in the late 1700s.
Afterspeaking during the NEXUS Meeting at the United Nations Headquartersin New York City last summer, the royal chose a quote from Wilberforce while reflecting about the event onInstagram: “You may choose to look the other way but you can never say again that you did not know.”
