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, over concerns about its spending. While the charity raised £1.5 million in donations last year—largely from a high‑profile gala—it distributed very little, carrying forward £1.3 million, and its most recent accounts (to 5 April 2025) show donations falling to £48,000 while salaries rose to £191,537, twice the amount spent on programmes. The watchdog has not yet drawn conclusions or set a timeline for the enquiry but is engaging further with the trustees.
