Princess Beatrice among famous faces taking donations to commemorate people who died in 9/11

Princess Beatrice was one of many celebrities who attended a charity day to help raise money in memory of those who died on 9/11.

The royal, 36, took part in the event at financial company BGC, who is based in New York and Canary Wharf, London.

The event is held to commemorate 658 Cantor Fitzgerald staff and 61 EuroBrokers employees who died in the attack on the World Trade Centre in New York on September 11, 2001.

It sees celebrities take to the trading floor where, under the guidance of brokers, they speak to clients over the phone in a bid to raise millions for charitable causes.

Beatrice said: “I am thrilled to be here today celebrating the incredible work that charities do on a daily basis.

“The 30 charities represented here today support a wide range of important causes, from children in care to those in medical need, and have a positive impact on many different parts of the community. I am so pleased to be part of charity day and support these grassroots organisations.”

Also at the event were TV presenter Holly Willoughby, former England manager Gareth Southgate and Homeland star Damien Lewis.

Southgate, who departed as England manager this year after the Three Lions were defeated in the Euro 2024 final, posed with young fans. He was raising money for Help for Heroes, which supports the British Armed Forces community, along with cyclist Sir Mark Cavendish.
