Princess Eugenie has broken her social media silence
following her son, August’s royal christening last month.
Taking
to her Instagram page on Thursday, the 31-year-old took the time to highlight
the amazing work of the Teenage Cancer Trust.
She
has joined forces with her mum Sarah Ferguson and sister, Princess Beatrice, who
are all honorary patrons of the trust to launch Hello!’s Special Christmas Appeal in aid
of the pioneering charity.
Princess Eugenie wrote: “What a special day meeting such strong
and resilient young people coping with the pandemic whilst navigating cancer at
such an important time in their lives. Alongside my mother and sister, I went
to talk to Abigail, Mariam, Egon and Aimee and their families about being
diagnosed with cancer during the pandemic and overcoming their diagnoses with
the help of the remarkable people at the @teenage_cancer which I am so proud to
be Honorary Patron of.”

As new mums, the launch is extra poignant for
both Beatrice and Eugenie, as they met with young cancer patients and family
members supported by its specialist units.
She added: “Support from Teenage Cancer
Trust is having someone in your corner at the toughest time. The physical and
emotional impact of being diagnosed with cancer – whilst watching your peers
experience normal teenage milestones – can be a hugely traumatic experience.
“Teenage
Cancer Trust is unique in being the only charity in the country to provide
specialist care and support to these young people when they need it most. It’s
an extended family that I’m so very proud to be a part of. I’m honoured to
support TCT and young people who show such courage in dark times. Thank you for
sharing your stories with us. Xx.”
