Princess Eugenie and  Julia De Boinville first met on a bus during a school trip which sparked the beginning of their “life-long adventure and friendship.” They susequently travelled the world together after studying at Newcastle University, but it was a 2012 trip to Kolkata, India which inspired the pair to launch their own anti-slavery charity, after learning about The Women’s Interlink Foundation – which rescues young women from modern slavery and teaches them a vocational skill such as fabric printing.
