Taking to Twitter, the Anti-Slavery Collective posted on Wednesday: “Earlier this week our co-founders, HRH Princess Eugenie, and Julia de Boinville were delighted to visit @bramberbake where they took part in a baking class with survivors of #modernslavery.” The organisation continued: “The @bramberbake programme sees up to 10 women join for 8 weekly sessions. From the first day to graduation, they learn fundamental baking skills and take part in sessions that support and empower them to achieve their aspirations.”

       Photos published on Twitter showed the pair mixing ingredients and wearing aprons as they baked.

       A second image showed the co-founders at the end of a boardroom-style table, listening intently to another woman speaking.

       The Anti-Slavery Collective was co-founded by Princess Eugenie, 31, and Julia de Boinville in 2017.

       HRH Eugenie and Ms de Boinville describe on their website their journey to launching the charity, which works to raise awareness of, and therefore tackle, still-pervasive modern slavery.

       They detailed: “We met on the bus on our way to a school trip and knew at once that this was just the beginning of a life-long friendship and adventure!

       “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.”

       They described: “Here, we visited an organisation called Women’s Interlink Foundation and first became aware of modern slavery.

       “Aloka Mitra, the founder of Women’s Interlink, rescues girls from modern slavery, gives them a home and teaches them a simple vocational skill – fabric printing.”

       They conveyed their emotional reaction: “We were shocked to discover the extent to which slavery still exists.

       “In fact, there are more enslaved people today than at any other point in history and, at any one time, someone is being trafficked within a mile of where you live.

       “We often associate slavery with chains and shackles, but modern slavery is a hidden crime that is often hard to detect.”

       They then spent years looking into the worldwide issue, and then “became obsessive investigators and would visit anyone who could help us expand our knowledge.”

       They turned to all sorts of sectors, from “policymakers, law enforcement agencies and academics, to NGOs, social workers, and survivors.

       The response they received, they say, was that raising awareness is a powerful tool.

       Therefore, “this became our mission,” they declare.

       Raising awareness through the medium of baking, as Princess Eugenie has most recently done, is reminiscent of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex’s advocacy work across the pond.

       Earlier in the year, Meghan threw herself into a baking effort to celebrate Women’s History Month, baking a cake with lemons made from her own garden.

       The Sussexes’s Archewell Foundation partnered with World Central Kitchen to fundraise for women in Chicago, using ingredients from the Duchess’s Montecito home.

       She also had a hand in producing the charity cookbook, Together: Our Community Cookbook, which foregrounded recipes submitted by women impacted by the Grenfell fire disaster.
