"Many Photos" - Coronation Street actress reveals Princess Eugenie offered help with human trafficking storyline

A Coronation Street actress has revealed she spoke with Princess Eugenie about an upcoming slavery storyline, and said the royal hinted she would watch the show.

Appearing on Lorraine, Ruxandra Porojnicu, who plays Coronation Street’s Alina Read, said she had met the royal and discussed her upcoming storyline about modern slavery and human trafficking.  

Calling the royal 'lovely',  Ruxandra revealed:' She was asking me about the storyline and how I was finding it. She asked "When is it going to be on TV?" and I thought "Oh is she going to watch it?"'

Princess Eugenie has long been passionate about abolishing modern day slavery, and founded the Anti-Slavery Collective last year. 

It's not clear where she and Ruxandra met, but it's believed that it may have been at an event associated with Eugenie's charity work.

The Romanian actress spoke passionately about the storyline on the programme, and said she had watched documentaries and met with a human trafficking victim to prepare for the role.

Ruxandra said meeting Princess Eugenie had been 'overwhelming'.

Christine Lampard, who is presenting the programme while Lorraine takes a summer holiday, said: 'You met with Princess Eugenie, who wished you well with this storyline as well, she does an awful lot of work in this field.'

Ruxandra revealed she had been nervous meeting the royal, saying: 'She was so lovely, I was a bit overwhelmed, like I was meeting Princess Eugenie.'

The soap star appeared on Lorraine and revealed the royal was 'lovely' when they met, and had asked when she could watch the storyline unfold 

Ruxandra said she was left wondering if Princess Eugenie was planning to tune into the ITV soap opera 

She continued: 'She was really nice and she was asking me about the storyline and how I'm finding it.'

The actress was left wondering if the royal was planning to tune into the soap, adding: 'She asked "When is it going to be on TV?" and I thought, oh is she going to watch it?'

Chrsitne responded: 'Oh I'm sure she will, everyone watches Corrie.'

Princess Eugenie has long been passionate about combating modern slavery, and founded the Anti-Slavery Collective in April last year. 

Princess Eugenie attended an engagement last week at Westminster Abbey which focused on combating modern slavery (pictured with US Ambassador-at-Large for Combating Trafficking in Persons John Cotton Richmond) 

The royal has been vocal about her support for the anti-slavery cause, attending a day at Westminster Abbey last week 

She first became passionate about it after visiting Women's Interlink during a 2013 trip to India with her mother, Sarah, Duchess of York.

Following her visit to the charity - which helps vulnerable women find employment opportunities, Eugenie became involved with several different organisations , such as the Salvation Army, before starting her own initiative.

And just last week, the Duke of York's daughter was at Westminster Abbey to take  part in a day on focusing on combating modern slavery. 

At the event she spoke with the US Ambassador-at-Large for Combating Trafficking in Persons, John Cotton Richmond.
