Princess Eugenie Is Launching a New Podcast
Last month, the New York Times wondered aloud if we'd hit "peak podcast"—and if royals are taking to the medium, maybe we have.
On Wednesday, Princess Eugenie announced that she and her fellow Anti-Slavery Collective cofounder, Julia de Boinville, were working on a podcast. The news came sandwiched in a longer IGTV video, posted on the Collective's Instagram feed, about the organization's mission.
"This is a whole, much bigger, larger issue that’s a hidden crime," Eugenie said, explaining the forms that slavery takes in today's world. "It’s forced labor, forced marriage, domestic servitude. It’s people not being paid correctly."
She continued, "The Anti-Slavery Collective’s mission is to bring people together, because together we’re so much more powerful, and we can affect serious change. And if we can do that, and get people working on the same thing, sharing information, sharing what their best practices are, then we can make a real difference."
The new podcast will contribute to those efforts. "We’re developing a podcast with Freedom United, and we have a speaker series called Tech Tackles Trafficking," Eugenie explained.
There's no word yet on exactly what form the podcast will take, aside from the fact that fellow anti-trafficking organization Freedom United will be involved. It's also unclear if Eugenie herself will appear on the podcast, or if someone else will host.
If the royal does decide to step into the host's chair, though, it'll certainly help boost the show's ranking on the Apple Podcasts charts.
