Princess Eugenie was flooded with compliments from her fans after she shared an empowering message on Instagram. The Queen's granddaughter was raising awareness for her organisation The Anti-Slavery Collective and like-minded charity Stop the Traffik, both of which fight to prevent human trafficking.

Eugenie uploaded a photo during a visit to the latter and wrote: "I co-founded @the_anti_slavery_collective to bring together change-makers to raise awareness for modern slavery as a global epidemic. Today I met an incredible organisation, @stopthetraffik, who are empowering people to take action against #humantrafficking. Their intelligence-led STOP APP is the only one of its kind to combine community empowerment, big data management and anti-trafficking expertise to disrupt this horrific crime. #enditmovement."

Sarah, Duchess of York talks about Eugenie and Jack's love story:

Fans were quick to praise Eugenie, with one saying she is a "real" princess. "We love you, keep showing what a real princess does, this generation will change the world," her follower wrote. Another complimented Eugenie's mum and dad, Sarah, Duchess of York and Prince Andrew, and replied: "You are a very good egg. Your parents did well."

Eugenie, 28, co-founded The Anti-Slavery Collective with one of her best friends, Julia de Boinville. Their mission is to raise awareness for modern slavery as a global epidemic. On their official website, Eugenie and Julia, or Jules as she is known, explained: "We met on the bus going on a school trip and we knew that this was just the beginning of a life-long adventure and friendship! After following each other around the world, then to Newcastle University, and into our careers; in 2012 we went on a trip to Kolkata, India."
