Princess Eugenie, the co-founder of The Anti-Slavery Collective (TASC), shared a new picture on Instagram this morning to announce she has joined an initiative launched by brand Together Band. In her post, the youngest daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson said: "I'm so proud to be part of #TOGETHERBAND.
"I chose Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth because I believe that everyone in the world deserves to be free from slavery and that all people have the right to their own future.
"Through my work with TASC I’ve seen the incredible power of what can be achieved when people support and uplift each other.
"With #TOGETHERBAND we have the opportunity to create great change and I hope we can all join forces to reach the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030."
Together Band is a brand selling bracelets bearing different meanings and using proceeds to "spread the word about the Global Goals and fund life-changing projects to build a better future for us all", its website read.
People joining this initiative either buy two bands and share one with someone or receive the band from a friend.
Princess Eugenie virtually received her band from Grace Forest, the founder of the Walk Free Foundation, which aims to put an end to modern-day slavery.
In turn, the young York shared hers with Ms Goulding, saying: "I'd like to share my band with @elliegoulding who is consistently fighting to change the world."

On the Together Band company's website there are 17 goals buyers of the jewellery can back, ranging from good education, eradicating poverty and building sustainable cities and communities.
Eugenie, as she said in her Instagram post, chose to support 'goal 8'.
Its description read: "A growing economy should be a positive force for the whole planet, but we need to make sure financial progress benefits everyone.
"We have to protect labour rights and put an end to modern slavery and child labour once and for all.
"Together we can promote the creation of new jobs and provide access to economic opportunity for all."
Princess Eugenie founded with her friend Julia de Boinville the TASC to raise awareness on modern-day slavery and help to put an end to it.
In August last year, the York announced she was working on a podcast with her organisation's co-founder.
The news was shared in an Instagram live video, with Eugenie saying: "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 would contribute to those efforts, Eugenie added.
She said: "We’re developing a podcast with Freedom United, and we have a speaker series called Tech Tackles Trafficking".
