BBC News | Princess Eugenie's charity faces further scrutiny from Charity Commission

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

The Charity Commission has opened a regulatory‑compliance case into Princess Eugenie's anti‑slavery charity, the Anti‑Slavery Collective, after concerns were raised about its financial management. Recent accounts show the charity raised £1.5 million in 2023 but carried forward £1.3 million, and in the year to April 2025 its donations fell to £48,000 while it spent £191,537 on salaries—double what was spent on programme work. The commission has not made any findings or set a timetable, but will engage further with the trustees. This scrutiny follows broader controversy surrounding Eugenie's family ties to the late Jeffrey Epstein and her recent resignation as patron of Anti‑Slavery International.

Whittier HATED slavery...

So fallen! so lost! the light
Which once he wore!
The glory from his gray hairs gone
Forevermore!
...
Oh, dumb be passion’s stormy rage,
When he who might
Have lighted up and led his age,
Falls back in night.

—John Greenleaf Whittier, "Ichabod"

Whittier opposed slavery totally, though he wrote this about Daniel Webster, who at the end, decided to compromise with slavers, to preserve the nation.

William Cunningham, co-founder of the Free Church of Scotland, pointed out that while society may imprison or even execute criminals, that hardly justifies slavery. Equating punishment with lifelong bondage is not argument but tidying up a moral mess. The awkward question, then: when we see injustice today, do we merely explain it—or actually help someone escape it?

Charles John Ellicott, Anglican bishop, notes Paul doesn’t smash slavery with a hammer; he slips yeast into the dough. Christianity seeps in, alters the taste, and—awkwardly for slavery—turns chains into contradictions. Christianized bondage becomes liberty. So which institutions are you quietly leavening?
