Princess Beatrice joins Prince Harry and Sarah Ferguson in New York for heartfelt cause
Princess Beatrice has joined her mother, Sarah Ferguson in New York to attend an event which aims to combat modern slavery and human trafficking.
Images show Beatrice on the official Instagram page for the Anti-Slavery Collective, a charity co-founded by her sister HRH Princess Eugenie.
“We believe that thinking about and debating complicated, knotty issues is a vital part of the process.
“Gathering with decision-makers from all walks of life and creating a judgement-free space to share ideas, offer different perspectives, and tell stories helps us to reconnect with why this work is so important.
“We hope that connections made between leaders will spark new thinking and action to uncover and stamp out all forms of forced labour.”
Her visit coincides with her cousin Prince Harry, who is also in New York as part of Climate Week.
The Duke of Sussex is undertaking a series of engagements to honour the legacy of his late mother, Princess Diana.
It is unknown whether the two royal cousins enjoyed a reunion.
On Tuesday, Harry spoke passionately at the Clinton Global Initiative as he accused social media companies of using young people as “human experiments”.
The Duke travelled to New York alone to complete his week of engagements without his wife, Meghan Markle.
Sarah Ferguson also headed to New York and took to social media to announce she travelled to the city for climate week.
Fergie accompanied the caption with a candid video, showing the duchess enjoying a hotdog on the streets of NYC.
Climate change is something incredibly close to Sarah’s heart, particularly as a grandmother.
She told the Telegraph last year: “I feel strongly that my generation has a responsibility to hand a sustainable planet on to our grandchildren.”
