Elephant Family Joint Presidents lead a star-studded evening at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
“I’m delighted to support this year’s big egg hunt in support of Elephant Family. A wonderful celebration of art and a reminder about nurturing the incredible animals that share our planet.”
-HRH Princess Eugenie, long-standing Patron of Elephant Family
“What is particularly appealing about the hunt is the sheer size and scale of the undertaking and the fact that there is a cross pollination between artists and designers from different backgrounds.”

Elephant Family has enchanted the world with its public art displays since 2003; crafting masterpieces that not only captivate the imagination but also stir hearts and ignite change. Founded by HRH The Queen’s late brother, the visionary Mark Shand, Elephant Family stands as a beacon of hope for Asian wildlife conservation. It is the only charity of which The King and Queen are joint Presidents. Princess Eugenie is also a longstanding Patron.
In 2012, Mark Shand launched the Big Egg Hunt in London to raise money and awareness for the plight of the Asian Elephant and it was such a success that two years later, he took the idea to New York City. In 2024, The Little Egg Hunt, featuring 12 designs from names including Charlotte and Philip Colbert, returned to Chelsea in London, acting as a prelude to the 2025 trail, which aims to represent creativity within the city, free for all to enjoy.
“This is the Egg Hunt to join…. as Mark Shand, our beloved Founder, said eggs are the symbols of hope and by golly we need that now. Eggs and Elephants: a pairing made in Heaven!”
- Dame Joanna Lumley, Elephant Family Patron
“It is not only the most beautiful, colorful and fun campaign, it also holds the key to saving the majestic species from extinction.”
- Goldie Hawn, Elephant Family Patron
